Wow, a bloody month killed this boy! And Palestinians are alleging a well known fact! Every day the NYT wins prizes for anti-Palestinian bias and racism.

Visited site of Battle of Beaver Dams in Niagara region. This plaque is the only explanation of event and I find it outrageous that they have the American flag flying at this site where American invaders were repelled by Mohawks from Grand River and Kahnawake. Replace it with Haudenausaunee flag!

Can't say genocide, can't say Israel is deliberately causing famine, can't say Palestinians are human beings deserving of rights. But here's a diagram of what malnutrition does to a starving children's bodies.

"cash flow help" for a company that brings in $54 billion US annually. Will the thousands of Canadians who can't afford their rent also get "cash flow help"?

I just got an ad for P$eterson Academy ad, and had to go take a look. Looks like their rigorous hiring criteria resulted in 100% white men professors.

Jaw droppingly misleading coverage of Israel's ongoing slaughter in Gaza. Who is killing? Who is being killed? Why is there no food? It's not that complicated.

The scandal is that Trump pressured an American company to interfere with an investigation into Israeli war crimes but the framing is somehow about Europe's fear of US tech dominance. Over and over, the NYT provides masterclass in distraction from American culpability in genocide and war crimes.

I think it's often hard for ordinary mortals to comprehend the power of billionaires, but stories like this can help. Musk fathers as many children as he can and then offers huge sums for the mothers to keep quiet. Most people can't resist. Now imagine what else is covered up.

It's normal to speak out against war crimes, inhumanity, ecocide. It's normal to be angry about it. It's normal to want peace and justice.

Ugh, when the NYT finally reports on the long-verified genocide starvation, it's already too late. Israel spent 1.5 years obliterating Gaza infrastructure and has blocked entry of food and water since March 2. Starving 2 million civilians is not self defense.

Beware of a pope who claims to know what it's like to be you, claims to have all the answers, whose answers are: 'be like me, believe like me, I'm right, I know what God wants, the world is terrible bc ppl aren't like me, everyone should be my religion.' This is the opposite of tolerance & inclusion

Conservatives can't see fascism when it stares them in the face. We've had decades of some conservatives claiming Nazis were socialists ("National Socialism, see?") & now we have conservatives claiming Trump is a leftist because he doesn't believe in free markets, free speech, or even God. Shocker

Spring is in the air and the hardware store aisles are full of poisons to kill everything as soon as it comes up. I dream of a world that celebrates and respects life rather than fearing it.
