Peter Rothpletz on the genocide in Sudan, Trumpโs latest weaponization of the DOJ, and 'journalists' from The Free Press wreaking havoc on both sides of the Atlantic.

If Amit Segal thinks @haaretzcom.bsky.social is too critical of what Israel's doing in Gaza, how about letting journalists from around the world go there and travel freely? Surely they'll report that Israel did nothing wrong.

I was 21 years in Canada's parliament and I have 2 simple questions:
1. Who the fuck is @vgasparro.bsky.social ?
2. Why did @mark-carney.bsky.social let him ban the Irish group @kneecapceol.bsky.social?
If there is a fund to sue for damages, count me in.
Seriously.

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.
There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

Gaza will bury the idea that we all eventually come to be against the great Evils of our time.

"And so Gaza will not be remembered as the place where the world finally stood hand in hand and turned against unfathomable evil, but rather the place where the world chose to let it reign."
