It’s a genocide, possibly the greatest moral catastrophe of our time, and the flippant unwillingness to grapple with it is an egregious failure of intellect in addition to a chilling abdication of honor.

Keir Starmer's unwillingness to criticise Israel for murdering Palestinian civilians seeking food is a stain on Starmer and the Labour party

Sanctions on Russia for murdering Ukrainians, no sanctions on Israel for the continued murder of starving Palestinians

What a disgrace

This morning, once again, there’ll be a bunch of people and organisations wrestling with the issue of deleting their X accounts. “But what about our follower counts?” Doesn’t matter. “But the reach they represent?” It really doesn’t matter. You think it matters, it really doesn’t. 1/

So disappointing. Yes, we need to ramp up adaptation, but it's wildly premature to say "it's too late" and give up on decarbonization just because we didn't avoid climate impacts altogether.

May every single human being on this planet be safe.

May every single person be protected from harm.

May we bring into being a time in which we are all free from those who do evil— together, speedily and in our days.

@mark-carney.bsky.social NO MORE arms to Israel, PERIOD. This is *long* overdue.

🧵 Every year, an international survey, of how LGBTQ ppl are treated in Europe, is carried out.

Alberta a 'very attractive' target for foreign interference: CSIS presentation Alberta's resources, economy, and sizable ethnic communities make it a "very attractive" target to foreign powers to exert their influence.

You don't suppose they'd mess with a sovereignty referendum, do you?

Perhaps something to ask the Premier as she paves the way for the vote.
