After Israel slaughtered several Al Jazeera journalists, I asked the foreign affairs minister's office whether Canada intends to take action.

Their response made me, as a journalist, feel sick.

They pointed me to a tweet repost. One with a grammatical error.

It didn't even name Israel:

I never knew what 5th stage malnutrition was, in a reality where the world produces more than enough food for everyone on the planet, I should never have to.

“It was a nightmare.”

“(The guards) tortured us physically and psychologically.”

“We were like chickens or rats locked up … and they shot us with rubber bullets.”

Words from Venezuelan migrants sent to a prison in El Salvador.

For months, they say, they were beaten by prison guards, shot with pellets, deprived of adequate medical care and denied any due process inside El Salvador’s Center for Terrorism Confinement.

Anyway thanks @moderation.bsky.app for answering my lifelong question of how the US so easily turned away my family fleeing the camps. Turns out you just call them scammers, say they're annoying, and shoo them back where they came from. There's no way you could know what would happen to them amirite

Canada is 0.5% of the world population.
We produce 5% of the oil & 6% of the methane.
Canadian taxpayers subsidized the fossil fuel industry ~$30 billion in 2024.
We subsidize global oil & gas users to help burn the planet.
We are the problem. #EndFossilFuels

Are you wondering about Sharia because of recent events? Maybe you'd like to read a novel that's set in a Sharia compliant Muslim Matriarchy? "Under The Full and Crescent Moon" is my speculative take on history that has a young woman writing fatwas to fight the patriarchy! Coming this fall!

I am going to be consistent with my moral principles. Any injury or death to a non-combatant or civilian is unjustifiable.

Does Israel hide military sites in the middle of cities? Yes, but that doesn't justify anything, human shield arguments are morally bankrupt.

I was honoured to interview @yipengge.bsky.social about the March to Gaza for this week’s episode of Bubble Pop.

He’s been on the ground in Gaza before — and his testimony is vital in the face of this genocide.

Here’s a clip from our conversation:

Israel attacks Iran

Normal Americans: “What the f*ck?”

AIPAC politicians: “We stand with Israel.” “A righteous attack.” Straight from AIPAC HQ, y’all.

Happy WWIII to us, brought to you by a psychotic, genocidal state coddled by the UK and the US.

Cousin in Iran, she lives in a suburb of Tehran:

“They’re bombing us, apartment buildings & homes. Apparently where high ranking officials live but entire buildings of other people. Dogs and cats freaking out. We couldn’t get in the basement.”

They’re bombing high rises full of civilians.

Israel's attack on Iran, yet another demonstration of its contempt for international law, was also a smokescreen for yet another step in the ethnic cleansing and annexation of the West Bank. Israel is laughing in the face of the West's fake support of the 2 state solution

Thread #Iran - #Israel:
When a nation like Israel repeatedly violates IHL and ICL with complete impunity, and is continually supplied with weapons, intelligence, and political cover by powerful states, it is not surprising when it escalates military action and commits further violations in Iran.

Every country outside of the USA and Israel has to say enough is enough and hu act like it.

I would like to remind everyone that Joe Biden funded the police instead of defunding them.

Having a moment of Heavy Anxiety due to post-election subscriber loss haha wheeeee

It doesn't help that people loudly declare they're unsubscribing every time I criticize Carney (when policy sucks, it sucks! I'm sorry!)

Incredibly grateful for those of you who have stuck around ❤️
