Unapologetic commentary from the left edge. Fighting disinfo, defending democracy, and torching right-wing BS. No filters. No apologies. Tired of the nonsense? Pull up a chair.
Not a base, they say. Just a compound. Just a few jets. Just a few pilots. But let’s ask the obvious: Why is a foreign government funding infrastructure inside an American military installation?

The law is clear.
Only under the narrow conditions of Article 110 — piracy, the slave trade, unauthorized broadcasting, statelessness, or fraudulent flag — may a warship board a foreign vessel without consent. None of these apply to Conscience.

This is not just wrong — it’s dangerously misleading.
The facts are right here: in 2024, Canada reported 1,343 hate crimes motivated by religion. Of those, 920 — nearly 70% — targeted Jewish Canadians. Just 61 targeted Catholics. #news

Because it’s under Israeli occupation, Ramallah functions as the administrative capital. Over 140 UN countries already know this. If you don’t, maybe sit this one out instead of broadcasting your ignorance to the world. Not every gap in knowledge needs a tweet.

Michelle, asking what the capital of Palestine is doesn’t make you clever — it makes you look like you skipped the reading list. The capital is East Jerusalem, recognized in every serious two-state framework. #Palestine #news

There is no law requiring “balance” in political coverage. The old Fairness Doctrine (which required balanced viewpoints) was repealed in 1987.

This isn’t a comfortable read. Nor should it be. It is, as the title promises, a warning. Ignore it at your peril.

Albright’s message is urgent, uncompromising, and frighteningly relevant. She reminds us that fascism thrives on apathy, on people shrugging their shoulders while norms are shattered. She dares to say what too many pundits refuse: that democracy is fragile and that America is not immune.

You can oppose political violence without turning Kirk into a martyr. You can defend democracy without clapping like seals for a man who spent his career torching it.
Condemn the violence, sure. But let’s not rewrite the legacy.

It’s the type of authoritarian pageantry you’d expect in Orban’s Hungary or Putin’s Russia, where state power and party propaganda are indistinguishable. #news #charliekirk

VEEP is literally using the White House complex as a stage to host a partisan talk show, not a press conference, not a policy briefing, but “The Charlie Kirk Show.” He’s doing it in honor of a far-right activist who made a career out of spreading conspiracy theories and smearing progressives.

These rallies aren’t about mourning a man—they’re about importing his culture war, draping it in the maple leaf, and calling it patriotism.
And yes, it’s worth asking: how Canadian is it to glorify a foreign operative who wanted nothing more than to see our public institutions crumble?

Why? Because Kirk and his network spent years cultivating a Canadian audience online. Turning Point’s talking points didn’t stop at the border—they bled into Facebook groups, YouTube channels, Telegram chats, and the same conspiracy echo chambers that Pierre Poilievre flirts with when it suits him.

He openly mocked the very values Canadians hold dear—equity, social programs, pluralism. And yet, here we are: a crowd in Calgary waving flags and holding a vigil for him as if he were a national hero.

Charlie Kirk was not some neutral figure. He built a career trashing Canada, sneering at universal health care, smearing progressive leaders, and spreading the kind of disinformation that poisons democracies.

If someone blames “Antifa” or the “radical left” for violence in America, the facts are against them. The data shows that right-wing extremism has been the leading cause of extremist violence in the U.S. for the last 10 years. (source: FBI, DHS, ADL)

Yup. This definitely looks like a gay, black, trans, Hispanic immigrant. Let justice be served for Charlie's family and friends.

You can thump your book of fables all you like, but not everyone bows to your guy in the sky. And when history writes its verdict, your party will have more to answer for than it ever dared to imagine. When the reckoning comes, your party’s excuses won’t fly.

Insecure idiots screaming about ‘rights’ wouldn’t know the Canadian Charter from the Constitution if it hit them in the face. Which section of either one gives you the right to ban books? I’ll wait.

Today, children in the U.S. at Annunciation Catholic School were shot while praying. Two were killed in the pews. If your answer is “thoughts and prayers,” save it. These kids had prayers on their lips when bullets tore through them. #SchoolShooting #Guns #news
