The Tyee is proud to have published this important investigation by @rachelgilmore.bsky.social. We condemn this egregious harassment of a journalist for doing her job, and have offered support as she deals with this disturbing situation.

"You don't liberate people at the barrel of a gun. Have we learned nothing from Iraq or Afghanistan? All we seem to have learned is from Gaza. Israel has learned that you can bomb hospitals & schools with impunity."

It’s absolutely ridiculous what Rachel has to put up with time and time again for her work, and how little institutional support she receives when targeted by far-right grifters and neo-Nazi thugs. Our media and journalism orgs need a wake-up call.

So apparently according to @Keir_Starmer I am an "extreme leftist."
I support economic equality, good public services accessible to everyone, human rights and international law, and bringing ecological impacts back within safe limits.
"extreme" 🤷♀️. Sure.

How many times do we have to say this but: dead people do not come back. Dead children do not come back. Death is permanent.
What happens in 3 months means fuck all to the deaths happening RIGHT NOW
As good a time as any to remind people that the vast majority of deaths from the Iraq war were due to preventable disease from destroyed infrastructure and sanctions.

The report highlights the grim state of freshwater ecosystems, degraded marine and terrestrial ecosystems, and the risk of extinction for many species. But it also emphasizes the potential for improvement through conservation, restoration, and renewed connections between people and nature.

The small, brave band of MPs who represent the trampled, not the tramplers, has a very welcome new member.
We should all ask ourselves why, in a supposed democracy, such representatives are so rare.

Labour MP Clive Lewis, "Keir Starmer is an interim PM"
"We need a radical reset, fundamental change"
"The tone of Starmer's Labour which I heard on the doorstep: you're not a Labour party I recognise, what happened to you"
"Labour under Keir Starmer is like a pound shop
Reform UK"
The tragic awfulness of this government is that it has extended a factional war against the left of the Labour Party into a war against almost all the good things we might have expected of it. It cannot respond to the crisis it faces, because its hatred of the Labour left is definitional.

Donald Trump is a global chaos generator. He couldn't give a damn about the Iranians and will walk away the moment things get difficult, leaving a trail of pointless death and destruction.
It's all about spectacle for him. Once that's achieved, job done.
The UK's permission for the US to use its bases in attacking Iran amounts to complicity in the crime of aggression. It drags us into what could be an endless war, without democratic or even parliamentary consent.

"Of those who voted Labour [in 2024], just 37% would vote Labour again".
Read that again to absorb the full, astonishing weight of what it means.
Starmer, Reeves and co have burnt their house down.

I have never seen so much social capital pissed away so quickly by any one. It's extraordinary. All Starmer had to do was be seen to be acting on principles of good will and hope. Instead, he chose appeasement of the far right and cosying up to dictators. And so, he got Chamberlained.

Carney dragging Canada into a war it doesn’t want on the side of the US which Canadians view as a bigger threat to world peace than Russia and China COMBINED would be a death sentence for his government. The fact he’s even considering it is appalling.

Prime Minister Carney's promise at Davos to "build our strength at home" would do well to draw on the example of former Canadian cabinet minister C.D. Howe, under whose guidance Canada established 28 new Crown corporations to expedite the mass production of military equipment during the Second World War.
