Folks, Israel is not letting aid in which means Palestinians continue to have to buy food on the black market from Israel sponsored gangs. If you can donate a little money to the fundraisers we're posting, you can keep someone alive. Palestinians wouldn't beg if they didn't have to.

Israel has lost its narrative war.

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

On Friday, the ultranationalist minister suggested that Israel would be better off throwing the flotilla participants in prison for several months rather than immediately deporting them back to their home countries. Security prisoners - those incarcerated for offenses that intentionally harm national security - are housed separately from criminal prisoners and are not eligible for many of the benefits available to the general prison population. The term is a catch-all term applied to detainees, convicted prisoners and terrorists, and administrative detainees who are held without charges for extended periods, without trial.

"We are in Ketziot prison, and as I promised, those flotilla members, supporters of terrorism, are here in a security prison," Channel 14 reported Ben Gir as saying. "They receive conditions for terrorists here, for everything, terrorist sweatpants, terrorist conditions. This means, there is a minimum of the minimum, that's what I promised and that's how we are fulfilling it."

The Times of Israel reports that Greta Thunberg & her fellow Flotilla crew are being held in a special "terrorist" section of Ketziot prison—or in "terrorist conditions," as Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's Minister of National Security put it.

Italian journalist Lorenzo Agostino tells @anadoluagency:
— Greta Thunberg, just 22, was humiliated, wrapped in an Israeli flag and paraded like a trophy.
— They seized every chance to degrade us
— I felt I was in a truly barbaric place

Yahya Barzaq, photographing a baby

Say his name: Yahya Barzaq, one of the 275+ journalists killed in Gaza. He was known as one of the most prominent photojournalists still alive in Gaza. Prior to the genocide, he was known for gently photographing newborn babies.

This is the guy who’s supposedly buying Tik Tok. What could go wrong?

It's not fascist to call fascists fascist.

It's not "dehumanizing" to say that terrorizing entire groups of people - which ICE does - is evil.

No executive order can change these facts.

However, people *can* mess things up for fascists by standing up for community and truth. Like this.

I think the piece that is the most deadly in today's Canada Post announcement is that the feds are allowing the corporation to end mail shipping via air unless the mail is deemed important. This will mean that it will take forever to mail stuff with regular fare.

I really can’t believe that this is where we’re at with a former civil liberties dude.

Assata Shakur, political activist and ex-Black Liberation Army member, has died Assata Shakur “died in Havana, Cuba, as a result of health conditions and her advanced age,” according to Cuba’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Assata Shakur has "died in Havana, Cuba, as a result of health conditions and her advanced age."

She was 78.

even for an unhinged presidency this week has been pretty fuckin unhinged tbh

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.”

Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

Evictions driving Metro Vancouver homelessness: Report The number of homeless people in Metro has increased by 141 per cent since 2005 — far outpacing population growth.

Meanwhile, the province, Premier of B.C. and the Federal government have been pushing the narrative that housing shortages and unaffordability is to be blamed on "immigrants taking the resources of others.”

When it’s clear that the govs underfunding of services and deregulation strategy is to blame

The real way to help children with autism and neurodivergence is to FUND SCHOOLS. Fund the welfare state. Create opportunities for parents to have an education and well paying jobs. More EAs in school, more doctors.

Our society is anti-child, and this is why so many children are in burnout.

Sometimes, when something really really needs to be said, @lindamcquaig.bsky.social just says it so well.

you'd think the @liberalca.bsky.social would immediately be accountable and transparent and simply acknowledge what happened and respond intelligently but now someone has to make a list.

I guess the days are numbered calling Israel a Nazi state.

One takeaway for Canadians watching what’s happening in the United States right now is that we need to put more pressure on governments / parties to strengthen democratic institutions and the fourth estate

You can also defend democracy by supporting the work of journalists and civil society groups

Oh FFS

This is quickly mushrooming into a real international incident

It’s really funny that you can amass hundreds of billions of dollars, and still
Be desperately uncool and dull. I know that’s gotta hurt.

Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

Post from BC get vaccinated website Stay up to date on COVID-19 immunizations COVID-19 vaccines will be available in fall 2025 to help protect you during respiratory illness season. If it is recommended you get a COVID-19 dose, you will receive a notification when it is time to book your appointment. You must be registered in the Get Vaccinated system to get an invitation.

The BC Get Vaccinated system is incredibly paternal. Why can we book our own flu vaccines but not Covid? Why gatekeep?

Everyone should have the option for a vaccine at least twice a year

Worried the proposed four storey school won’t fit the character of the neighbourhood? Adding some office space and housing on top of the school fixes that.

Somewhere between 12 and 17 storeys is a good baseline, but to be safe we should add a few extra storeys to future-proof it.

Gaza
West Bank
Lebanon
Yemen
Syria
Iran
Iraq
Tunisia
Qatar

All attacked and bombed by Israel in the past year.

Insane.

Rogue state.

Israel is one of the worlds largest terrorist entities, birthed from terrorism [the Haganah, Irgun, Stern and LEHI] and continues to deploy acts of terror around the world incl assassinating ceasefire negotiators in Qatar. The Zionist terrorists want to accelerate their final solution of genocide.
