The President of the United States is openly threatening to commit genocide against 90 million people. Prime Minister Carney: if there was ever a moment to denounce this illegal war, withdraw your support, and call for accountability for war crimes—it’s now.

Le président des États-Unis menace ouvertement de commettre un génocide contre 90 millions de personnes. Premier ministre Carney, s’il n'y a jamais eu un moment pour dénoncer cette guerre illégale, retirer votre soutien et exiger que les responsables de crimes de guerre rendent des comptes, c’est maintenant qu'il faut le faire.

donald trump is adolf hitler.

@gusselsprouts I think it's pretty disingenuous to reduce her statement down to those two phrases while insisting she make a political entertainment video about a genocide. That's her content. Political entertainment. She's not a documentarian, nor a politician.

Pretty cowardly and disingenuous to make a career on debunking Fascism 101 videos, but then find Zionism to be “too complicated” and the genocide to be “too bleak” to do the same.

@cityoftoronto You can't sleep in a pool, dumb-dumb

The City of Toronto has pools staffed and ready to help people beat the heat. Given provincial requirements related to heat and humidex (45C+) protocols, some outdoor pools had intermittent closures today to ensure staff health and safety. Staff remained on site to re-open pools as soon as possible. Please check individual pool web pages for updates. In response to the heat warning issued for Sunday, June 22, the following outdoor pools will be open until 11:45 p.m. tonight: Alex Duff Memorial Pool at Christie Pits Park, Fairbank Memorial Swimming Pool, Halbert Park (until 9 p.m.), McGregor Park Community Centre, Monarch Park, North Toronto Memorial Community Centre, Smithfield Park and Sunnyside Gus Ryder Outdoor Pool. Ensuring the safety of residents and City staff remains a key priority. Please note these closure measures were temporary. Regular updates are being posted at toronto.ca/swim. The City apologizes for any inconvenience and thanks residents for their understanding.

Love to keep twitter a healthy and respectful place ... The two words I'd definitely use to describe this website. Guess it saves me from the "cis is a slur" crowd and hate-bots that out alerts on these terms so they can dogpile instead of enjoying life.

Damn that anti-trans filter moves FAST! This got emailed to me maybe 15 seconds after I posted the tweet 🤣🤣 This app is a literal joke

Also I think it's worth noting that this skip the line will only be applicable to the most privileged groups of class and race. A marginalized student will pay the price for this laziness with increased scrutiny and suspicion over their work. And if they are caught using it...

And I don't blame them for it. Because it's a sign of a failure on our part to reward honesty, reward discipline and integrity, and a failure to reward actual work. Hard work like farming, waste clean up and removal, street and home cleaning, etc

So my hot take is that ChatGPT is an inevitable consequence of a society that degrades and devalues hard and honest work. Students using it to skip University and get right into the high paying job you'd need that degree to get are model citizens.

At the precipice of total climate collapse, we will likely see a nuclear war in our lifetime. All to protect Israel's right to commit genocide. They burnt Gaza to the ground. They'll burn the world down. What is wrong with these fucking people?

Dang, if only there was a place where people could go to safely use and dispose of needles... Oh well, guess the only solution is to jail, displace, or murder the person at fault. That'll definitely work!

my goal w the ucla student encampments was to show you how different the reality on the ground was from the way the media was framing it. the la protests are the same. it feels chaotic from afar. but the protesters are your neighbors. the threat is ice. the threat is the police.

It seems like a good time to repost this! CANADA'S WAR ON FIRST NATIONS 1/7

Environment Canada has issued a special air quality statement for Toronto, the GTA and most of Ontario as wildfire smoke is expected in the area overnight. toronto.citynews.ca/2025/06/05/spe…

NEW: After just 23 sitting days in 2025, the Legislature is set to rise today and won't resume until October 20th. The current Parliamentary Calendar shows they were scheduled to return on Sept 8th. #onpoli

🔴 We’re on our way to Gaza — expected to arrive in about 72 hours. These next hours are critical. Your voice is our protection. Let apartheid Israel know: the world is watching. Your silence gives them cover. Don’t stay silent. 🔴

While the Ford government sounded surprised by the NYT story into Therme Group, provincial officials should have been well aware. In December 2024, Ontario Auditor General uncovered the same thing: - Therme boasted of "six globally placed facilities under operation." - The AG reviews the six spas and found five of them were "not owned or operated Therme Group." - The AG also found Infrastructure Ontario "did not conduct due dilligence to ensure that spas cited by Therme in its submission were in fact owned and operated by Therme Group. - IO didn't review Therme's org structure because it was only looking Therme Canada OP Inc. not the "global" company. #onpoli
