The Liberal government is “appalled” at the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which is causing economic damage. Yet it is utterly silent at the blockade of Cuba, which is causing death to innocents. That’s not only incoherent, it’s immoral.

Despite the long history of Cuban friendship towards Canadians, Canada is doing absolutely nothing to help our friends. Shame on us!

🇵🇸🚨Settlers torch 15 Palestinian villages across West Bank in seemingly coordinated retaliation Dozens of Israeli settlers carried out coordinated raids across many Palestinian villages, setting homes and vehicles on fire and assaulting residents, according to The Times of Israel. ➤ Attacks were recorded in Jalud, Fandaqumiya, Silat ad-Dhahr, and Qaryut, with footage showing buildings on fire as residents rushed to evacuate ➤ At least 9 Palestinians have been confirmed injured in a preliminary toll, including 3 in Jalud and 6 in the Jenin area, after being beaten by settlers. Many more are feared to have been come under attack. ➤ No arrests have been reported, consistent with a pattern of impunity in settler violence cases ➤ The raids come amid near-daily attacks in recent weeks and rising fears of retaliation after a settler was killed in a separate incident under investigation

Why has Canada never been ready to help get baby formula into Gaza, @MarkJCarney @AnitaAnandMP?

Carney's cuts are worse than under Harper

@NoLore Canada failed to execute a ICC warrant for an Israeli war criminal who was transiting Canadian airspace but they did scramble a couple of fighter jets when they learned that a passenger on board had stolen some air miles points.

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions. But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

Trump’s siege of Cuba is total: no trade, no fuel, no energy for the island. Such economic warfare is not just a violation of the Geneva Convention. It is a barbaric act of collective punishment that kills babies, mothers, and the elderly alike.

Millennials are the elite generation because they cranked out 12-page essays the night before they were due. No ChatGPT. No Claude. Just lo-fi beats playing in the background, Black coffee at midnight, footnotes that were somehow correct, and pure delusion. Grade was an A minus. Period.

Afroman is the hero we all need right now.

The Afroman Trial. -Cops raid Afromans house for bullshit reasons. -Steal money, break his door, fuck his house up. -No criminality found whatsoever, no charges at all pressed on Afroman. -Afroman spends the next 3 years making songs that make fun of all the officers involved by name, even using footage of the raid from his own CCTV cameras. -Songs had titles like "Randy Walters is a son of a bitch" and "Lick Em Low Lisa" accusing one of the officers of being a lesbian and sleeping with the other officers wives. -During the raid one officer looked like he was about to eat some lemon pound cake sitting on Afromans counter, Afroman made a whole album calling the officer fat. -The cops get mad and file a lawsuit for defamation. -Afroman turns up to court in a whole American flag suit. -Officers performatively mald and cry while listening to the songs really trying to oversell how badly the songs upset them. -One officer was suing because Afroman made a whole song about him saying he was fucking the officers wife. When the officer was asked if Afroman was really fucking his wife, he said "I don't know". Nuking his own case and establishing that there is a non-zero chance that Afroman might actually be fucking his wife. -As his only witness for the trial, Afroman brought a deputies EX FUCKING WIFE. -The jury ruled completely in favour of Afroman. This entire thing has been a great win for free speech and absolutely fucking hilarious.

Revising the footage of the attack on our dear colleagues and friends Steve and Ali: The strike was carried out by an american made GBU-38, carrying a MK-82 500 pounds warhead with 200 pounds of explosives and a 300 pounds of forged steel warhead that was made in purpose to be transformed to thousands of shrapnels upon impact. What save both of them was a combination of good luck, fast reaction from Steve as an experienced war reporter wearing body armor (should have been wearing his helmet), and the fact that the bomb missed the concrete by some 50 cm and went inside the previous hole and exploded under the bridge, which saved the journalists from the shrapnels and the direct shock wave.

few things better embody the mentality these tech billionaires have than when William Shatner tried to have a moment of reflection on man's place in the world after going into space — only for Bezos to cut him off and pop champagne in his face

One of the most atrocious international crimes being committed right now is the US blockade on Cuba. The US government is doing everything it can to strangle Cuba’s economy, especially by ramping up the oil blockade. No electricity, no oil, no fuel. Barely any food. A severe health crisis has erupted. Why is the US doing this? For no reason other than its dislike of the Cuban regime. Cuba poses no threat to the US. There is overwhelming global opposition to the US blockade. UN human rights experts have condemned it as a serious violation of international law. Now, Trump wants to take over Cuba, saying: “I can do anything I want with it.” This is one of the most grotesque crimes of our time.

This is a common, very bourgeois error about the purpose of private school. The purpose of private school is not academic achievement. It is to establish a child within a social network of contacts that will help their career and marriage prospects for life.

The BC Teachers Federation, the province wide labour union representing over 40,000 teachers, has just passed a resolution in support of BDS! The first province-wide motion to support BDS in solidarity with Palestine!!

The Cuban people are being collectively punished for their revolution with the full support of most of the world, including Canada.

We are laying siege to the island of Cuba, turning off the lights in homes, hospitals, and the country's most critical infrastructure. These are war crimes: lethal, cruel, and criminal acts of collective punishment. It is sociopathy dressed up as foreign policy.
