Pro-democracy wherever feasible. Modern secular values. Would support amicable blue state secession *if* it could be *negotiated.* Against religious extremism.

@javedhassan There is no real shortage of leadership in Iran. They’ve built a four-layer succession system, and each tier is carefully and professionally groomed.
Remove one layer, and the next is already in place -ready to take the reins without missing a beat.

@academic_la @nickyzacharias1 Netanyahu should have expected this. He and his gov have made the wrong moves.
English

Israel has been pummeled all night. Based on my counts of alerts and reports of landings from open sources the number increased tonight, though there are no reports of casualties.
My Whatsapp groups are filled with people having breakdowns after not sleeping for two weeks. In Jerusalem 4 alerts were heard in a 90 minute span.
Iran has been able to increase the number of launches daily. Everyone seems angry at the IDF and Netanyahu for lying about the destruction of Iranian capabilities.

Trump wanted war.
The U.S. did not.
Furkan Gözükara@FurkanGozukara
BOMBSHELL: Iran offered to give away ALL of its enriched uranium during peace talks in Geneva. The British thought it was a credible offer. Hours later, Trump started bombing Iran anyway. The US didn't want peace, they wanted war.

@sappholives83 @cindyfsolomon I don't think it is true that Mexico would have ceased to exist as an independent country. And I do not expect IL to turn TOC but do think it should have destroyed less of Gaza and been more careful with targeting.
English

I’m just going to say this — had Mexican soldiers invaded across the USA’s southern border on 10/7/2023 to rape and murder their way across part of Texas, then paraded the corpses of dead, naked American women around like trophies for the Mexican civilian population to spit on, by 10/7/2024, Mexico as an independent country would have ceased to exist — and no one would have said a word in protest.
No one tells non-Jewish nations that they must turn the other cheek after acts of war. Only Israel is expected to meekly bury her dead; only Jews are supposed to constantly mourn, but never to retaliate; to accept butchery and brutality and bombings as the price they must pay for mere existence — and it has far less to do with Palestinian lives than it does with the age-old European conviction that Jews only exist so that the rest of society has someone to abuse.

Melika Azizi is 18 years old. The regime wants her dead because she isn't afraid of them.
While the world slept, they raided her home. While they beat her in Lakan Prison, she held her head high. When the judge handed down a death sentence, she didn't beg for her life—she demanded justice for the fallen.
"How can I stay silent?" she asked.
We cannot be the ones who stay silent while they try to hang a teenager for her bravery. Silence is a death sentence. Noise is a lifeline.
ACT NOW: Save this post. Share it. Tag three friends who will help spread her name. We have to make the cost of executing her higher than the cost of letting her go.

While we are all watching Iran, something strange is happening inside Russia. Putin hasn’t been seen at the Kremlin in over a week, internet blackouts are spreading, and even loyalists are disappearing. My latest… olgalautman.substack.com/p/putin-missin…

@86fromspace @JeffreyRWRath You arrogantly self congratulate on what is in fact an ignorant set of assumptions. You seem to celebrate non-scholarly approaches as the best.
English

@persconcerned @JeffreyRWRath No he is not. He is the King of the United Kingdom AND is also the King of Canada.
Google is your friend, use it.
It will keep you from embarrassing yourself.

King Charles has no business meddling in the internal political affairs of Alberta.

@86fromspace @JeffreyRWRath You won't even contact their offices to confirm these things,let alone read an actual textbook by scholars on this question. You think elementary reading online answers these questions. It does not. This is THE biggest area of CDN law where the simple texts do not suffice.
English

@86fromspace @JeffreyRWRath You are the very embodiment of the warning. "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing."
English

@86fromspace @JeffreyRWRath It is not considered a delegation by constitutional scholars.
English

@persconcerned @JeffreyRWRath As the representative of the King, the Governor General exercises the powers of the Crown.
The King, through the GG, gives Royal Assent. No law can be passed without it.
Whether the King knows anything is irrelevant to the delegation of powers as per the constitution.
English

@86fromspace @JeffreyRWRath If someone managed to speak to an informed staff member at Buckingham Palace who responds to inquiries about Commonwealth affairs, I think that would be confirmed. I say this in case someone actually smart wants the truth. Some reader other than you.
English

@86fromspace @JeffreyRWRath No. In Canada. certain institutions act in the name of the Crown and yet the King has no say and is not even informed. The King usually has zero idea of what Canadian laws are being enacted, will be or have recently been.
English

@86fromspace @JeffreyRWRath No. The King of Britain does not instruct the GG to assent to Canadian legislation nor the Lieut. Govs to provincial legislation. A non stupid person would phone the GG's office and L Gens' offices to confirm this.
English

@persconcerned @JeffreyRWRath Then another GG would have to be appointed.
The King still has the authority to instruct the new GG not to give Royal Assent which changes nothing.
Show me anywhere in the Canadian constitution where the Crown (King) is not the ultimate authority in Canada.
English

@persconcerned @JeffreyRWRath Alright, now I know you're absolutely not a lawyer.
No lawyer in history would ever say "wording is not key"
Go back to chasing ambulances.
English

@86fromspace @JeffreyRWRath Of course it would, because it would make him the one who decides on the content of Canadian federal and provincial laws. He would have a veto over Canadian legislation. He does not.
English

@persconcerned @JeffreyRWRath Charles is the King of Canada.
Having him as the ultimate constitutional authority does not make any Canadian a British subject.
And you're supposed to be "educated"?
