Calling Newfoundland, Canada, home. Probably not much going to be posted here. A way to follow some accounts after the mess of Twitter.

Minorities manage to hold onto their cultures even when they are the smallest group in a country. If your culture is under threat because you’re not *majority enough* then your culture wasn’t that rich to begin with.

New rule. A parent may only propose removing a book from the school library only after reading it in its entirety and delivering a book report to the librarian. Until then no discussion shall be entered into.

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity.
There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

This level of barbarity is unconscionable.
Nobody should be comfortable with children and families starving to death.
It is morally indefensible to allow the manufactured and man-made starvation to continue. The United States must stop funding and enabling this genocide.

Write your MP. It might feel pointless but if we all raise our voices it is something. Condemnation without action is tacit approval.
Israel's massive publicity machine cannot cover up the deliberate killing and mass starvation of civilians.
Nobody is buying their line anymore.
Canada must move beyond hand-wringing and impose serious sanctions.
We must support the international criminal court in going after the war criminals.

"the claim regarding harm to uninvolved civilians is under review".
Under review to do nothing about it but for it to somehow be the children’s fault I’m sure.
Horrendous.

Do the bare minimum to keep civilians alive so we can continue to kill said civilians.

The Western world won’t stand up to this until it’s comfortably too late to do anything but wonder what could have possibly been done.
The fact that people who claim to be serious are still out here both-sidesing (or actively supporting) one of the most defining cruelties of our lifetime is brutal scar on the humanity of the western world

I keep my head down and turn out good work and I just barely made rent this month, but a lady calls a kid the n-word at a playground and she raises a half-million dollars in a week. I don't get the world, and I don't like it. We are surrounded by rotten dogshit assholes and they're thriving.

Politicians can spout talking points if they want but news platforms need folks like @davidwcochrane.bsky.social holding them to truth. Crafting a narrative can’t come at the expense of truth. And while it’s a Con here, he would do the same to a Liberal. More of this please, on all politicians.
