The more global crises converge, the more this becomes an absolutely critical frontier of struggle. We need to control the unfettered and violent companies that drain life from people and the earth.

Canada's foreign policy in the Middle East amounts to saying if Israel even imagines it could be attacked, it's perfectly justified in not only retaliating but doing preemptive strikes. If Iran is attacked, it should just accept that, and if it defends itself it should be further punished.

As fun as it sounds, no mayoral plans for me. I've been focused on building the Padma Centre for Climate Justice, a new political education and organizing project. Our new newsletter just dropped today: padmacentre.substack.com/p/welcome-to...

Welcome to the Padma Centre for Climate Justice

Indigenous land defenders and a new generation of climate activists have centred climate justice in the environmental movement, but our movement is still not truly internationalist in nature.

Recall the spike in oil prices when Russia invaded Ukraine. The companies then used the economic shock to price gouge as well. The war was a windfall for them, a lucky break.

Today's budget was underwhelming and troubling. Our leaders always have the choice of who makes the "sacrifice" — everyday people, the most vulnerable, big corporations, or the most wealthy. This budget asks us to tighten our belts while military & oil companies find themselves flush with cash.

Climate Action Network Canada@canrac.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Budget 2025 shows that ‘austerity’ applies to efforts to protect people and the planet—but that more money can always be found for military spending and polluting industries. Read our full analysis & members' quotes on the federal budget and Climate Competitiveness Strategy. ⬇️ shorturl.at/z1ueW

It's winning time!!! Mamdani's win caps off a brilliantly run campaign and gives us a shot in the arm for what movements already know: that we can & will win by telling the truth, demanding big things & refusing to dance with the establishment. Now watch the doubters pretend they were in all along!

Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani won the New York City mayoral race on Tuesday, marking a historic win for the left over a high-powered, moneyed coalition of establishment forces that came together in hopes of defeating him.

The numbers say it all: 💰 Global North paid climate finance since 2015 = $280bn 🛢️ Profits for oil & gas companies headquartered there = $1.3tn Rich countries paid a fraction of their owed climate debt - while cashing in on the crisis they caused: oilchange.org/publications...

I actually don't think Canadians should prepare to make sacrifices so the military budget and AI investments can be scaled up, ultimately benefitting private contractors and big businesses.

Israel is piling crime on top of crime on top of crime. No wonder it is determined to bring down the entire edifice of international humanitarian law - it's the only hope of protecting itself from consequences. Btw: the allegations are significantly worse than bedbugs.

Full solidarity with the flotilla, which represents the very best of humanity. And eternal shame to the European states who refused to protect it from Israeli assault and establish a corridor for aid to Gaza.

You are not seeing this slaughter live-streamed to your devices because Israel has murdered most of Gaza’s most prominent journalists in targeted assassinations.
