🚨WARNING: The same day Melania’s documentary was released, DOJ released emails between Melania & Ghislaine Maxwell—where they referred to each other with words like “love“ & “sweet pea.”
💌 WTF was going on?
😳

⏳Bondi dropping these the exact same day of Melania’s movie release is not a coincidence.🔥

I’m not sure how much notice this has received but the Assembly of First Nations in Canada has issued a travel advisory for the United States after reports that Indigenous people are being increasingly questioned and detained by ICE. www.instagram.com/p/DT-_SacDEH...

Stop executing protestors
ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.

If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

When I think of my experience as an interdisciplinary researcher & supports available from Canada's Tri-Council funding agencies, it feels like this:

Not quite NSERC, go to SSHRC or CIHR.
Not quite SSHRC, go to CIHR or NSERC.
Not quite CIHR, go to NSERC or SSHRC.

It leaves me dizzy.

It’s called Femicide

“This is the tip of the iceberg,” said Thibaudeau. “There are so many women facing intimate partner violence in our society and femicide is the ultimate price to pay.”

I’m trying to come up with a more eloquent way to say this, but all I have is “fuck this narcissistic festering cesspool”.
Trump: "Canada gets a lot of freebies from us. They should be grateful but they're not. He watched your prime minister yesterday. He wasn't so grateful. But they should be grateful to us. Canada. Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, next time you make your statements"

In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.

Well worth a read. Powerful.
This is one of the sharpest analyses of international affairs that I've heard from a Canadian leader - or any national leader - in a long time. And I suspect he wrote the main bits himself. paulwells.substack.com/p/the-carney...
