Let's try this again. Social justice, disability rights, history, Pro-humanity, anti-genocide. Loather of AI. Keep your mental health stigma off my feed. Dystopian living is not as much fun as people led me to believe.

This just-released Canada Heritage survey is a stunning piece of anti-Palestinian propaganda weaponized vs. critics of the genocide at universities. It is a reprisal against the encampment movement. Look at the evidence of ‘antisemitism’: a prof calling Israel a Zionist project—as it attests to be.

In a course that had nothing to do with Israel, my professor spent three weeks talking about Gaza and the creation of the State of Israel. He never mentioned the Holocaust as a precursor to its founding, repeatedly calling the state a “Zionist political project.”

'The Israeli government reportedly halved the water supply in retaliation for criticism from the Jordanian government of the mass killing of Palestinian civilians by Israel in the Gaza war, and officials have hinted that the taps could be turned back on if the criticism ended.'

'Jordan is convening an emergency meeting of foreign ministers from the Arab and Islamic world over what it says is an “imminent” threat of an Israeli takeover of the most important Muslim site in Jerusalem, with the potential to “trigger a religious conflict”.' www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Palantir wants health data. "According to its registration, Palantir’s Canadian subsidiary was interested in “areas where [the] company's capabilities & experience in improving patient care while optimizing limited health system resources match needs & objectives of the B.C. public health system.”

The Canadian arm of controversial U.S. data mining company Palantir was until recently registered to lobby B.C. health authorities. Elsewhere in the world, Palantir’s health-care contracts are coming under fire. zurl.co/J0wmn

"Gaza’s Health Ministry says medicine shortages are now killing three cancer patients a day." Reminder that the "official" death count in Gaza (~75,000 now) only includes people killed by violence who were issued a death certificate, usually from a hospital. And Israel bombed all the hospitals.

Just when you think Israel couldn’t sink any lower, morally… they continue to shock mondoweiss.net/2026/08/sile...

Reminder note to all adults: If you know any young people trying to enter the workforce, make it your job to introduce them to people in your network. Provide a reference if you can. Help them acquire resume and coaching help. Tickets to networking conferences. We need to help them start.

"new state laws and safety codes are reclassifying these plug-in kits as standard appliances — meaning renters can finally treat home solar like a simple toaster oven, plugging a personal power plant into any wall socket and cutting electricity bills by up to 25% with zero landlord approval."

Qawawis is a Palestinian village in the West Bank. Since the Oslo Accords, it falls into "Area C," which makes up ~60% of the WB and is run solely by the Israeli military. Israel is actively settling this area, and one might think Israeli children could use this school, but the cruelty is the point.

Israeli occupation forces demolish a school in Qawawis, leaving local Palestinians devastated.

Basically the height of caricature at this point: Israel is demanding that as part of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas, it be allowed to continue attacking Gaza.

🚨Israel has formally objected to three provisions in the Board of Peace approved roadmap for Gaza, including demands that would allow it to continue striking the territory, prevent Hamas’s collected weapons from remaining under the NCAG’s control, and exclude Qatar and Turkey from verifying compliance, Haaretz reported.

🔸 Continued Israeli attacks: 
Israel is demanding continued freedom to carry out strikes across Gaza even after the agreement takes effect. A source familiar with the matter told Haaretz that “Israel demands freedom to strike areas of the Gaza Strip.”

Fuck you. Seriously, fuck you. Using this framing: "Two people died of a preventable infection. But don't worry, its just disabled/vulnerable people!" should automatically mean you are eligible for a fiery, pus-ridden, painful, endless and eternal toil in the depths of Tartarus
