As the CDN prime minister designates select projects like Coastal GasLink and LNG Canada in the "national interest," the companies behind them continue to form deep ties with Canada's spy agency and other federal law enforcement. Here's a look at why this matters. thenarwhal.ca/csis-resourc...

"[U]nder the ceasefire agreement that Israel is repeatedly violating, all of the Palestinians in Gaza have been forced into a small zone ... mak[ing] up less than half of Gaza's land, with Israeli forces occupying [the other 53% of Gaza] surrounding the designated area for Palestinians."
The U.S. is reportedly preparing for an indefinite division of Gaza along the Israeli-occupied yellow line, where Palestinians would be forced to live among the ruins of Israel’s genocide. Meanwhile, reconstruction would begin in the “green zone,” which is occupied by the Israeli military.

I don’t know how we’re gonna do it but we need to collectively build the capacity to divest from Google/YouTube entirely. Hard to do when it owns the internet.
Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, while removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.
