"If they will not listen to their own courts, perhaps its time for direct action by rights holders of this land."
At the risk of constantly saying obvious things, breaking up families is not a pro-life or a pro-family position. It's anti-children, anti-parent's rights, anti-family, anti-life
No consequences for murdering thousands of children, but damaging a Jesus statue crosses the line.
The outrage over the Jesus statue in Lebanon must make Jesus turn in his empty grave. Jesus himself said what you do "to the least of these" is what matters, ie the millions of displaced, murdered, and injured Lebanese civiliand. This is the idolatry he abhorred.
Italy PM tells Trump the pope is just saying normal pope-type stuff. You can't make this stuff up.
You'd think the massive ceasefire violation would be the headline, but that's how American-Israeli propaganda works.
Israel systematically destroyed over 93% of Gaza Strip cemeteries amid ongoing genocide: "Israeli army completely destroyed graves in 39 cemeteries (approx 62.9% of the total) & partially damaged 19 others (approx 30.6%). Only 4 cemeteries, or 6.4%, remain intact." euromedmonitor.org/en/article/7...
Before: "When you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything." Now:
I just thought I'd share a photo of some totally secular kids on a visit to our totally secular public hospital in the totally secular province of Quebec where public workers aren't allowed to wear hijabs because those are too religious. But it's totally not Islamophobia at all c'mon guys
It's not a ceasefire when Israel is regularly bombing Lebanon, stealing land in the West Bank and preventing Gaza Palestinians from entering half of their lands. frames.forensic-architecture.org/gaza/ceasefi...
Wow, a bloody month killed this boy! And Palestinians are alleging a well known fact! Every day the NYT wins prizes for anti-Palestinian bias and racism.
Visited site of Battle of Beaver Dams in Niagara region. This plaque is the only explanation of event and I find it outrageous that they have the American flag flying at this site where American invaders were repelled by Mohawks from Grand River and Kahnawake. Replace it with Haudenausaunee flag!
Anti-Palestinian racism at the right-wing think tank Macdonald-Laurier Institute.
I'm trying to pay my membership fee but the system seems broken. Is it better if I call in? It won't accept payment.
New book chapter "Gaza and the Zionist Settler Colonial Politics of Genocide" by Y Loshitzky, in the "The Political Economy of Dissent: A Research Companion," 2025 books.google.ca/books?hl=en&...
Can't say genocide, can't say Israel is deliberately causing famine, can't say Palestinians are human beings deserving of rights. But here's a diagram of what malnutrition does to a starving children's bodies.
"cash flow help" for a company that brings in $54 billion US annually. Will the thousands of Canadians who can't afford their rent also get "cash flow help"?
I just got an ad for P$eterson Academy ad, and had to go take a look. Looks like their rigorous hiring criteria resulted in 100% white men professors.
Jaw droppingly misleading coverage of Israel's ongoing slaughter in Gaza. Who is killing? Who is being killed? Why is there no food? It's not that complicated.
The scandal is that Trump pressured an American company to interfere with an investigation into Israeli war crimes but the framing is somehow about Europe's fear of US tech dominance. Over and over, the NYT provides masterclass in distraction from American culpability in genocide and war crimes.
I think it's often hard for ordinary mortals to comprehend the power of billionaires, but stories like this can help. Musk fathers as many children as he can and then offers huge sums for the mothers to keep quiet. Most people can't resist. Now imagine what else is covered up.
Here's one of the message I get when I try to log on. The link for "Read more about account integrity" leads to an error message. "Download your information" downloads empty file folders.
It's normal to speak out against war crimes, inhumanity, ecocide. It's normal to be angry about it. It's normal to want peace and justice.
Ugh, when the NYT finally reports on the long-verified genocide starvation, it's already too late. Israel spent 1.5 years obliterating Gaza infrastructure and has blocked entry of food and water since March 2. Starving 2 million civilians is not self defense.
