Canadians want justice for Gaza. Mark Carney's government is giving Benjamin Netanyahu access to Canadian airspace despite an ICC arrest warrant. So much for Canada's commitment to international law. The rule of law isn't a slogan—it's either universal or it's hypocrisy. #cdnpoli

There's an all-party consensus on apartheid inside the Knesset, and many of the country's most popular figures (like Itamar Ben-Gvir, Naftali Bennett, & Bezalel Smotrich) are even more extremist than Netanyahu. There's no "opening after Netanyahu" inside Israeli politics, only pressure from outside.

A new Israeli government won’t deliver peace overnight, but it could reverse the trajectory toward endless conflict, Thomas Wright argues.

"The little girl was still in Bluey pajamas. No older than 3, she was trying to smell the flowers. At her side, a pink rolling bag. Her father, Joan Sebastian Guerrero, had just been fatally shot & yanked from a car he’d been driving. He lay handcuffed in the street, where he'd remain for 5 hrs."

Are these lawyers high? “In the filing, a team of five federal lawyers denies First Nations have a distinctly Indigenous interest in drinking water, asserting that FNs’ interest in their own reserve land doesn't include water because ‘water is not attached to land, but flows under and around it’"

Liberals continue court fight against First Nations drinking water rights, despite new bill | CBC News

The Carney government continues to fight First Nations in court to deny Canada has any legal duty to ensure they have safe drinking water on reserve, even as the Liberals advance legislation aiming to...

Absolutely disgraceful behaviour from @pressfreedom.bsky.social. The Israeli state murders journalists at a far greater rate than any other state in history, and the CPJ, rather than protecting them, is working to retroactively slander the dead. A disgusting move from an org that should know better.

"The Board of CPJ will formally change its definition of who qualifies as a journalist, to broadly exclude slain Palestinian and Lebanese journalists who worked for government-funded media outlets." From Mohammed El-Kurd (editor-at-large at Mondoweiss.)

Mohammed El-Kurd @m7mdkurd NEW: The Board of Directors at the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) will formally change its definition of who qualifies as a journalist, to broadly exclude slain Palestinian and Lebanese journalists who worked for government-funded media outlets. Israeli, American, and Ukrainian journalists who work for state-funded outlets or are embedded with the military will remain recognized as journalists, of course. The move was catalyzed to appease the right-wing Zionist rag The Free Beacon, which has repeatedly accused Palestinian and Lebanese journalists of being undercover militants or used their political opinions or affiliations as justification for their killing by the IOF. This is a racist scandal of massive proportions for everyone involved, and it makes a mockery of the purported mission of the organization. It is absolutely abhorrent that the organization’s resources are wasted on this cowardly witch-hunt, at a moment in history that is the deadliest for journalists, especially in Palestine and Lebanon. 2:52 PM · Jun 28, 2026

given what Elon is willing to say out loud now, I’m amazed he’s not willing to say the actual reason he wanted to kill USAID, which is its role in the end of apartheid

Quinn Slobodian@quinnslobodian.com · 2mo ago

In the last three hours, Musk has posted that USAID “was central to the creation of COVID-19,” “funded coronavirus research in China that killed millions of people,” “was used for terrorism,” and “killed millions.”

"The man that's running Syria now is a person that I put there" is an incredible thing to openly admit when referring to a man who "was" the leader of al qaeda in Syria

Trump: "Israel's fighting Hezbollah too long and too many people are being killed. And you don't have to knock down an apartment house every time you're looking for somebody. Because there are a lot of people in those apartment houses. And they're not all Hezbollah, that I can tell you."

lowlight of my year so far was an elected linking to a report i wrote with a caption that was *entirely contrary* to the text of the report. i reached out to see what the hell was going on and was told "the report was too long so we had chatgpt summarize it". the executive summary is 3 pages btw

In addition to the horror of US regime officials openly supporting racist pogroms, it's also quite funny that these guys are so stupid that they think that the British unionists behind the violence just "want to be Irish." They're probably the people who *least* want to be Irish in the entire world!

Kilmeade to an agreeing Markwayne Mullin: "In Belfast they're standing up because their leaders have let them down. They're trying to take their country back. They want to label them as racist. All they want to be is Irish. They want Ireland back. I see a lot of the same fights here."

Re-upping this story this morning. A landmark Superior Court case in Kitchener recognized the Charter Rights of homeless people. Doug Ford has threatened to reverse that. I spoke to the people impacted the most by this, the encampment residents. Please read and share this one widely.

PressProgress@pressprogress.ca · 2mo ago

If a judge who's ex-military can recognize that homeless people have rights, why not Ontario's premier? What Doug Ford should know about encampment residents: pressprogress.ca/doug-ford-ki...

I was once picked up hitchhiking by a nice woman in rural Quebec. When I asked what she did for a living, she stuttered before admitting she was RCMP. "I didn't want to tell you because you're from Montreal and everyone there hates the police" she said. I'd like to see them try to enforce this lol

Musk fomenting violent race riots in Northern Ireland should have everyone to the left of Reagan fleeing the platform he owns and directly controls but they've already excused so much more, they've abdicated their capacity for moral indignation and disgust
