the genocide has not ended. it never did. i feel like i dont hear much about palestine anymore just bc they announced a ceasefire but israel completely ignored it. theyre still killing palestinians. theyre still cutting off supply boats. do not stop talking about palestine.

There shouldn’t be a global food system. Food systems should be regional. That’s the only proven way for them to be sustainable. The same problems would exist even if a global food system relied on a different fuel. Folks need to accept that the entire system is exploitative.

This is close to what the Toronto Police Service “lost” in 2025, if we’ve decided to frame public services as such.

This should be a bigger story.  Scientists are more concerned than ever that a critical Atlantic current will collapse soon and wreak havoc on North America and Europe. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, is a massive conveyor belt of ocean currents that transports water from the tropics to the Atlantic.  Without it, severe weather would impact both regions at potentially devastating rates. These scientists aren't just warning us about an environmental issue—they're sounding the alarm about a climate threat that could fundamentally rewrite how future generations survive on our planet. theguardian.com/environment/20…

The return of climate politics in, like, 5 years is gonna be the mother of all returns of the repressed. People now asleep will wake up screaming

In 2025, it was reported that over 1,500 Canadians were serving in the @IDF. Some of these are health workers. It is known that Israeli health professionals have participated in the #GazaGenocide including in their roles as health workers – torture, amputations, medical neglect. 🇨🇦 medical regulatory bodies must screen health workers for participation in foreign militaries credibly accused of war crimes, such as the IOF, and enforce the applicable medical codes of ethics and conduct. 🇨🇦 health institutions must stop granting leaves of absence for staff to serve in foreign militaries committing widespread war crimes. Read and share the below from @HA4Palestine.

The very least that US allies like Canada could do right now is organize with other countries and announce they’ll suspend travel and trade with the US at 8pm if the psychopath follows through with his threat. Tweeting about respect for international law is complicity.

To the people of the United States of America

Zionists are now free to sell Palestinian land in Canadian synagogues & if you dare stand outside holding a sign saying you oppose it then you are guilty of a hate crime Zionists have already succeeded in taking away your constitutional rights. What else will they take from you?

Going with the word “pogrom” at a time when Jewish settlers in the West Bank are launching dozens of actual violent pogroms a day seems like a deliberate choice to declare that Jewish feelings matter more than physical Palestinian safety

A very simple scan of the 2024 hate crimes report (Toronto) shows Jewish people mostly have their property messed up or graffiti, which includes "Free Palestine" Real violence happens the most to 2SLGBTQ+, black people, Muslims, South Asians and worse, indigenous people - who are experiencing a crisis of murder in this country and aren't even f**king mentioned on the report?? one could assume its because the police are often their racist killers tps.ca/media/filer_pu…

After the Quebec City mosque shooting, some Zionist groups like CIJA "vehemently opposed... legislation created to address and document Islamophobia" (Jewish Faculty Network, The CIJA Report, 2025).

thousands of hand-wringing fear-mongering stories about Russia or China or whoever else interfering in our politics then our media just prints stories like this and no one has anything to say about it

Could you imagine the outrage from the likes of the Globe and Mail editorial page if the Chinese or Russian or Iranian ambassador spoke openly about limiting Canadians’ freedoms to achieve their foreign policy goals?

It occurred to me that, in the context of: - the shots fired late at night at empty synagogues, - the mass shooting at the mosque in Québec City that killed six people and injured 19, and - the killing of the Afzaal family on the basis of their faith, our gov’t is sending the message that Jewish-Canadian *property* is worth substantially more than Muslim-Canadian *lives*. Which does not sit right with me as someone (and a Jewish-Canadian, no less) who believes in fair and equal treatment and safety for all.

We shouldn’t move on from the nearly 200 girls killed in bombings in Iran, just like we shouldn’t forget the Lebanon pagers attack that killed thousands, just like we shouldn’t forget the days when 800 people were being killed in Gaza every day. Same perpetrators every time.

Gaza really did blow a hole in our moral universe and now everything gets through

The UN just told us that the damage to our water systems is irreversible. Water wars will likely occur in our lifetime. But by all means keep using Chat GPT to write your comments and reviews. Forget that your greatest expressions as a human are your communication and creativity.

I denounce the government’s decision to join US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace as it is morally incorrect and indefensible, both on principle and on policy. The initiative was problematic from the outset. Conceived as an externally managed arrangement for post-war Gaza, it effectively removes the right of governance from the Palestinian people themselves. By placing reconstruction, security and political oversight in the hands of outside actors, the project carries the unmistakable imprint of a neo-colonial enterprise. Such frameworks rarely end at administration. Trump’s initiative will, over time, erode the very right to self-determination it claims to safeguard. What makes Pakistan’s participation more troubling is that an initiative initially sold as a limited mechanism for rebuilding after the genocide in Gaza is now being openly expanded. Statements by its principal sponsor and the contents of its draft charter suggest ambitions well beyond Palestine, with little regard for the United Nations. The absence of clear UN oversight and the board’s widening mandate point towards an attempt to supplant, or at the very least marginalise, the existing multilateral system. By lending its name to this effort, Pakistan appears to endorse a structure that sidelines the UN and replaces international law with a personalised political platform. This sits uneasily with Islamabad’s own reliance on multilateral forums and UN resolutions, particularly on issues such as Kashmir, where Pakistan consistently argues for the primacy of international legality. The inconsistency is difficult to explain. Pakistan cannot credibly uphold UN centrality where it suits its interests while participating in initiatives that weaken the institution elsewhere. Nor does this alignment serve the Palestinian cause, which has always rested on the principles of self-determination and UN-backed legitimacy, not externally imposed governance models. Foreign policy decisions driven by short-term calculation often produce lasting consequences. By associating itself with a project that undermines both Palestinian agency and the UN system, Pakistan risks diluting its moral standing and strategic coherence. It is a decision Pakistan will regret.
