This is a modern map of Gaza. The uncolored section is where Gazans are allowed to stay. No entry, no exit. 2 million people in about 82 square miles. With 90% of all building leveled, almost no aid or food let in, still bombing them. #genocide

‘A site it hasn’t held for 26 years’ - as if it is Israel’s to ‘hold.’ Israel's military presence in #Lebanon is an invasion, its holding of territory is an occupation. Call things by their name
Mohamad Bazzi@mbazzi.bsky.social · 4mo agoUS media outlets are willing to butcher the English language — along with common sense and human decency — to avoid stating a basic fact: Israel is expanding its occupation of southern Lebanon
Using fascist language is indeed a trap. For non-fascists. Letting fascists frame conversations is a trap. For non-fascists. If Carney was as smart as you think he is, he wouldn't be normalizing fascist mottos. Smart people don't do that. Smart people and people who understand history know better.
I adopted this beauty when she was 2 but she went to live with my son and his dad a couple of years later so I could stay housed. She came to see me yesterday after a long, long time. My heart is full and my nervous system is calmer than it has been in years. Magical creatures.

@anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social Canadians are demanding our government cut trade and diplomatic relations with Israel. We are owed an explanation why this hasn’t happened. Israel is now carrying out mass destruction in Lebanon like they did in Gaza. Crickets from our leaders.

What is it inside of so many that find they are cringing from the truths being shared by First Nations people? Its always worth looking at why you feel that way. We can't change that for you, but you can. You can learn the real history of our lands and how it came to these moments. It takes great
genocide is foundational to Canada and I'm tired of pretending it isn't
🔫Scott Martin🛼@youcaughtscott.com · 4mo ago“This consistent pattern of conduct implies that Canadian authorities have sustained a strategy to evade accountability under international law."
In Israel this is widely referred to as "the cease-fire war"

“In Toronto, 26.1% of those aged 25 to 39 lived with their parents in 2021.” “If a 32 year old accountant lives in their parents’ basement because they are priced out of the Toronto market, they are counted as living in an owner-occupied household.” The 66.5% stat is deceptive.
Oh The Urbanity!@ohtheurbanity.bsky.social · 4mo agoA lot gets misunderstood when people miss that the homeownership rate is calculating households rather than individuals. Even this article, which basically explains that, uses imprecise language in the title. “66.5% of Canadians are classified as homeowners”? No, 66% of Canadian *households*.
The genocide case at the ICJ is proceeding predictably slow. So, a reminder: the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide obligates states to **prevent** genocide where a serious risk of it exists. In Gaza, that risk is years old and patently clear.
Adil Haque@adhaque.bsky.social · 4mo agoAs expected, the Gaza genocide case will take years. South Africa's reply is now due November 22, 2027. Israel's rejoinder is now due May 22, 2029. www.icj-cij.org/sites/defaul...
"As the name suggests, the point of these rapid fire massive changes is precisely that: to shock us, to put us in a state of overwhelm where we don't know which fight to take on first. And we get paralyzed as the speed and scope of change wash over us." Lewis then lays it out. #CdnPoli
Scott Robertson@sarobertson.bsky.social · 4mo agoAvi Lewis: "Canada is now living a new chapter of the shock doctrine story. It's also known as the political strategy of flooding the zone. The Carney government right now is pursuing an agenda of shocking scale and speed."
