The Israelis tortured Greta Thunberg and the other flotilla activists attempting to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza during their five days of detainment. It doesnt take much to imagine how much worse the Palestinians being held in Israel are being treated www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/25...

This is so fucked up.

In his victory speech, Carney talks about how we Canadians may make mistakes, but we always strive to be good. This is one of the core differences between Canada and the US. American politicians are far more likely to talk about always striving to be the best. #cdnpoli

US citizen charged with illegally entering Florida as an “unauthorized alien”.

I just took a look at Poilievre’s “Flash Survey” and yeah, he really does think Canadians are stupid. Also, I don’t understand how he thinks this distances him from Trump. It’s written in MAGA-ese.

Remember, The Matrix is a trans allegory where people are trapped and forced to present an identity that may not be their own, all for the extraction of resources to benefit powerful faceless institutions.

Amazing turnout in Boston right now for the Hands Off anti-Trump protests!

Canadians need more discussions about disinformation, not less. @ctvyourmorning.bsky.social needs to rethink their decision to bow to the pressure from Poilievre and his maple MAGA, and bring back their plans to have @rachelgilmore.bsky.social host a weekly segment on disinformation #canada

It’s heartening to see the downtrodden USA finally getting brave enough to stand up to the nasty Heard and McDonald islands. Those awful, nasty penguins have been robbing poor and powerless America blind for decades now. Centuries, even. This unfairness stops NOW.

Thinking right now about the long-term implications of this for Americans. Its mind boggling how fast and far the US has fallen in the space of two months. www.npr.org/2025/03/29/n...

Finally have a bit of time to poke around on Bluesky. Like what I see. I was an early-ish adopter of Twitter (handle was msbookish) and loved it so much in those early days. Dropped it after Musk. Feeling cautiously optimistic this might be where I can start having those great convos again.

Today’s “Ray of hope” read www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Reading Curtis Sittenfeld’s RODHAM right now as a palate cleanser for the day’s news. I have a feeling I’m going to wish it was nonfiction rather than a novel.

It’s going to be rough for perhaps quite a long while, but together we’ll get through it. youtu.be/ryjbUmfY80A?...

This is something I feel many Americans don’t really get. It’s not about “getting back to normal in four years”. There’s no going back.
