It’s not that they’re for Max Miller despite the man’s character and behaviour, they’re all for the misogyny, the violence and anyone able to lie to and coerce people. He’s perfect for them.
Sad news for Canadians. “And that’s the kind of day it’s been.” Rest in peace. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

@courtneybonneau.bsky.social reporting on the degree of destruction of civilian infrastructure in Southern Lebanon is indicative of broadening ethnic cleansing by the Israeli government. What is happening in Lebanon represents a huge gap in MSM’s reporting on Israel’s ongoing war crimes.

Nathan Santo Domingo@nsdwx.bsky.social · 4d agoAnother new wildfire has started NW of the #OldTrailsFire. This is being called the #AutumnLaneFire and is currently south of Charles Road. This is WEST of the Spokane River. #wawx #wawildfire.
The original Red Scare in the U.S. was as much about destroying Black radicals & controlling Jewish dissidents as it was about the Soviet Union. I have read so much about the history.
In a staged surge, 48,000 Morrocan migrants enter Ceuta and every media outlet blows up, calling it an invasion. Meanwhile, 250,000 illegal Israeli settlers have “moved” into the West Bank- many of them are extremely violent and not one outlet has said a thing.
According to reporting by Mehdi Hassan, 48% of the 60,000 who are said to have entered Ceuta have already voluntarily returned to Morroco and a horrifying 57 people died. The far-right everywhere will use this moment to foment xenophobia and fear and we must speak out against it.
Sidney Coles PhD, PhD@westernwriter.bsky.social · 5d agoOf course the big story is the surge. But the bigger story is that 9 people died. They are gone and that wave of loss and sadness made barely a ripple. #Ceuta #Morroco
Archaeologists excavating on Triquet Island—a remote island off the coast of British Columbia, Canada—uncovered a settlement dated to 13,600–14,086 years ago.
The catastrophic devastation of Gaza and daily massacre of Palestinians demand immediate international ownership and moral reckoning.
“The U.S. has used up around 66 percent of its Patriot stocks and at least 40 percent, of its THAADs. All Iran needs to do is to keep attacking, forcing U.S. magazine depth ever shallower, making U.S. clients more and more exposed to standoff strikes.” #Iran www.forever-wars.com/the-math-beh...

I took this photo of Louis Mendes and his jumbo Speed Graphic camera in 2021. He had been a fixture on New York City’s streets for over sixty years. Can someone tell me, is he still out there? #NYC #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #blackandwhite

It’s never been about what Trump does. Evil is as evil does. It’s always been about what you are willing to do. You have the power in your hands right now.
When Justice is blind, bad guys take the fifth. When justice is corrupt, good guys take the fifth. Feel free to share.
Reminder that on his last day of his first term, Trump awarded a commendation to Dr Fauci "in recognition of his exceptional effort on Operation Warp Speed"
The clips of Hawley, Paul and Moreno, showboating for the cameras, their condescending language to him, their hubris, is appalling. This is another extremely embarrassing day for the United States of America.
