Israeli defence minister says he ordered attacks on Iran to โ€˜undermine regimeโ€™ Israel Katz officially acknowledges goal of war, as Iranian missile hits hospital and Israel strikes nuclear site

Benjamin Netanyahu is an indicted war criminal.
And yet, the west obediently fall into line when he carries his permanent war campaign into more and more treacherous waters.
The bombing of Iran had nothing to do with nuclear threat, it was about regime change.

Chief Crowchild showed the world that we are:

Angry.
Hurt.
Betrayed.
Enraged at ICE.
Determined not to be the 51st state.

And we choose:
Kindness.
Peace.
Healing.
Understanding.
Resolution.

Save the County by Burning the Planet Canada's False National "Unity" Debate

Canada is on fire.
The national media is focused on building pipelines for national unity.
Oil production is at record levels.
We are back of the pack in the G7 for failing all our environmental goals.
My latest on Canada's oil obsession.

Safe workplaces are not a privilege-they are a right. The #onpoli govt must strengthen protections, enforce safety standards & hold employers accountable. No one should risk their life to earn a living. Itโ€™s time to act; safe work saves lives. #NationalDayOfMourning #onlab

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge.

As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do.

They can't keep spewing carbon.

They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying.

They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

Reminder: we are being trained not to care about other people. It underlines the attacks on migrants, on DEI, on trans youth, on so-called "wokeness."

Sure there are legitimate critiques but this is not about critiques. It's about supercharging capitalism's culture of uncare.
