@natemook Looks just like my little prince Vasylko 😻 (rescued from Kostiantynivka this past fall). I hope Ash finds a good home!

After 3 years in a besieged Darfur city, a journalist reaches safety. "As his phone vibrated with hundreds of accumulated messages, he found himself reading a three-year-old timeline of tragedy. The first message he opened was from a friend who had been dead for two years."

NEW COLUMN: Prison libraries aren’t just essential to inmate rehabilitation, they’re also a requirement of international law. Why is Carney trying to fire all the librarians who help inmates prepare for life outside? https://t.co/p7nhSHQjKJ

“Four years later, the sirens still scream, and the Russian attacks have become even deadlier.

What’s changed is that the world has become accustomed to the giant war raging in the heart of Europe.”

🇮🇱🇨🇭 This Swiss commentator has balls of steel. While the Israeli bobsleigh team was racing, he kept reminding viewers of the war crimes the pilot has openly supported.

Absolute legend!

"If remembering the fallen is a violation of the rules, then silence about their killers is complicity."

Ukrainian footballers at the Russian‑destroyed Lokomotyv stadium in Kyiv showed their support for Vladyslav Heraskevych, who was disqualified before the first run of the 2026 Olympic skeleton event because he refused to follow the order not to wear his "helmet of remembrance" with images of Ukrainian athletes killed by Russia.

Heartbreaking to read these reflections from Tumbler Ridge local newsman Trent Ernst. All strength to him as the town he reports in & on daily enters the global spotlight. You can support his hyperlocal journalism (which is so vital and so lacking) here: https://t.co/AsuV4cVR79

Canada tips its hat (and an extravagant wig) to Catherine O’Hara. From Moira Rose’s dramatic diction to Delia Deetz’s chaotic chic and Kate McAllister’s iconic “KEVIN!”, her characters lit up our screens. Thanks for the magic, Catherine. 🇨🇦❤️

Israel plans to ban Doctors Without Borders @MSF_USA on Jan 1, along with some two dozen other humanitarian aid organizations from Gaza. This is in flagrant violation of the ICJ’s recent advisory opinion, which requires Israel to facilitate relief schemes. https://t.co/69js0OcCAN

[Krystal Ball @krystalball]

Banning Doctors Without Borders is just insanely evil

[Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East @CJPME]

Canada is named in this UN report as a third state that has enabled the genocide in Gaza, particularly through continued arms exports to Israel.

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

More than 450 prominent Jewish figures around the world call on the United Nations and world leaders to impose sanctions on Israel over its “unconscionable” actions amounting to genocide in Gaza. https://t.co/YxD9Vw17iz

[State of Palestine @Palestine_UN]

In its landmark advisory opinion on the presence and activities of UN, third States, and other organizations in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, the Court concluded that Israel blocked aid for the Palestinian people:

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

🚩My new report is out.
With their actions and omissions, third states have enabled the oppression of the Palestinian people and their genocide.

Those states have an obligation to stop their complicity and deliver justice.

And We The People, have to make it happen.

Yesterday, @MarkJCarney flew to Egypt to mark Trump's deal as "a new chapter of lasting peace."

Today, Israel violated the ceasefire by killing 9 Palestinians & restricting the flow of aid trucks by half.

We need fewer photo ops and more pressure to end the genocide.

[State of Palestine @Palestine_UN]

Welcome home.

Israel still unlawfully holds over 10,000 Palestinian captives, including more than 360 children.

Freedom to all our captives.
