Zionism is the single greatest threat to free speech in the western world today because of the way western governments and institutions have been aggressively stomping out criticism of Israel and anti-genocide activism since 2023 at the urging of Israel lobbyists.

Just finished @breachmedia.ca's WHEN GENOCIDE WASN'T NEWS edited by Martin Lukacs, Dania Majid, and Jason Toney . It leaves me ashamed to be Canadian and, in particular, appalled by Canada's (and CBC's) media bias. Every Canadian should read this book to understand that we are fed media bullshit.

@cathmckenna.bsky.social is entirely correct. And at least at the moment, Carney is doing almost everything imaginable to demonstrate that he doesn’t care. And the issue isn’t just emissions; it’s also water. I admire Ms. McKenna for sticking to her guns. We need more such principled public servants

This is revolting, racist nonsense and it’s being mainlined everywhere right now. No criticism of Israel is allowed, ever. They can starve as many babies to death as they like, they can mass murder hundreds of thousands and it's fine because they're Jewish.

So much of what ails America traces back to The Confederacy, unrepentent Confederates & Neo-Confederates. We needed to break them during Reconstruction & we failed to do it. We must fully break remnants of The Confederacy now & in the future — or we will continue to suffer from their machinations.

So true. A characteristic of all authoritarian regimes is they survive long past the erosion of popular approval. If people don't understand that this is already inches away, if not here already, they are kidding themselves.
The endgame of authoritarian regimes is to no longer need popular approval. So don't be too sanguine about Trump's plummeting popularity.
