A cartoon drawn in pen on lined paper. The silhouettes of the borders of Venezuela and Iran are shown, in flames, with bleeding wounds. Smoke clouds billow overhead. Blood is pooling up under Venezuela and Iran. Bloody footprints lead to Donald Trump in Grim Reaper robes with a bloody scythe. Mark Carney stands between Trump and Canada, looking smaller and weaker. Carney says "L... let's exercise restraint and diplom-", but Trump interrupts: "You're fired."

The first batch of the March issue of Red Soil, issue 02, has been printed! They will be distributed in #Charlottetown, #PEI soon.
Red Soil is a print-only journal, but here's a cartoon from the new issue.

Yes.

Having burnt fingernails for days when you had no hammer.

If you hear an eye witness account of Gaza right now, as I have recently heard, your blood will run cold. It's worse than you can imagine.

Like most liberal institutions, they exist to make rhetorical statements AFTER preventable harm has occurred, not meaningfully contribute to the prevention of harm.

I critici criticano il piano di Carney di rilanciare l'economia canadese attraverso l'industria militare

@rachelgilmore.bsky.social does amazing work investigating the far-right in Canada. It's terrifying the lengths they go to stalk.

The fact that our MSM and press orgs have nothing to say about the safety of investigative journalism in Canada is incredibly eye-opening.

The silence is complacency.

These are very reasonable questions.

Rolling Stone is publishing pro-war advertorials by an Israeli government agent now:

Oh man, we were so close to leaving on time! Instead, we are stuck to the ground because we have no pilot.

I have never, once, in my life, heard from any press freedom orgs, despite all the attacks and threats on me over the course of my career. So I'm never surprised by this. But I remain endlessly disappointed.

Seeing that no press freedom orgs have rushed to defend and help @rachelgilmore.bsky.social makes me ask, for the millionth time, what do CJFE, PEN, etc even do? Why exist at all when you do fuck all to fight censorship and intimidation?

I will also say that it’s a bit wild to me that no press freedom organization or professional journalistic association has tried to contact me or even put out a statement here.

I mean Jesus Christ. A little solidarity from institutions would be nice here!

Shortest story is that the BC folks wanted more autonomy than was legally possible in a single charity structure. Long version is ten years of bad blood.

(If two Conservative insiders were attacking the CCPA like this, the crying would be bloody murder. But here, it's apparently OK?

living in a walkable city where you can get anywhere you need by walking, by bus, or train is goated in an economic collapsed based entirely on gas prices

I do not think the police have ever raided the Quakers and been on the correct side of history

As always, Sandy and Nora have a much more sophisticated response to Carney’s wishy-washiness than mine, which is consistently, “What the actual fuck?”

Schrodinger's Cancer When I see people, there is an inevitable question that often, they’re too afraid to ask.

"I don’t hesistate to share what’s on my mind when asked (or looked at) and I dont mind the questions. I imagine that others do, so I get that people struggle to talk about this in a way that isn’t weird." @nolore.bsky.social

Weird! I will ask Acast what's up.

The article shows that this path actually leads to greater integration into the US. But ok.

Try reading the piece?

'“If you’re ballooning a military budget, that’s a choice to steal those funds from health care, housing, public services — from the things that actually guarantee the security and health of people from across this country,” says Small.'

double tapped a girls school in a regime where they oppress women. the other time i saw iran hit they bombed the trans wing of prison. most accurate bombs directed by satelites and lazer ring IMUs hvae very little area of error. they aimed at the school spot twice with intent.

Critics Slam Carney’s Plan to Jump-Start Canada’s Economy via Military Industry Canada’s prime minister faces blowback for his plan to hike Canadian arms companies’ profits by 240 percent in 10 years.

In my latest for @truthout.org I ask the question that nearly no journalists in Canada are asking: why on earth would we pour tremendous resources into building up our military given crumbling social conditions?

This is very bad.
