Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado says she presented her medal to Trump She did not answer reporters' questions as to whether he accepted it
Hard to imagine behavior more pathetic than this.
Political pickme
If there is a single thing I’d like you to takeaway from @pressprogress.ca’s journalism, it is how many people in positions of power in Canada start making R2D2 short-circuiting noises when you ask them to elaborate on their statements
Rob Shaw: "Politicians who won't post on X anymore, but keep posting on the platforms that ban Canadian news organizations (Meta) and contribute to the country's disinformation problem, without doing anything about it. 👍"
Rob Shaw is nervous that if the politicians he writes about start fleeing the non-consensual sex image generation website he posts on, his account with 33,000 followers will be useless
Kinda incredible it was only four days ago that the US launched an unprovoked attack on another country, kidnapped its head of state and announced it was now “running” it and there have already been 2 or 3 other crises since then that have bumped it from the top of the news cycle

Israeli occupation forces distributed warning leaflets in Tubas, in the northern occupied West Bank, this morning, threatening Palestinian residents that posting, sharing, or publishing online content critical of Israel would be treated as a terrorist offense, potentially resulting in arrest or imprisonment. The leaflets stated: "We are monitoring what you do online. Disseminating, writing, or publishing inciting content online is considered a terrorist crime in every sense and may lead to arrest or imprisonment, as has happened in this house. We have warned you."
"We’re monitoring what you do online. Disseminating, writing, or publishing inciting content online is considered a terrorist crime in every sense and may lead to arrest or imprisonment. We have warned you."
Israel warns Palestinians that posting about their suffering will be considered terrorism.
How many more statements of meaningless denunciation - empty of one single consequence for unrelenting genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity - must Palestinians endure Minister @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social?
They’re now calling this a K-shaped economy. Guess which part of the K most of us are?
Normal behaviour.
Two cabins were torched over the weekend at the Mi’kmaw Land Protectors Hunter’s mountain camp.

British Columbia's newest far-right party has become embroiled in conflict, after suddenly removing its leader.
OneBC’s implosion appears to stem from the firing of a staffer accused of posting neo-Nazi propaganda:

The BCOne collapse is basically this Community meme.
Or maybe it’s Casablanca, and BCOne leadership is shocked, shocked! To see anti-semitism sneak into their wholesome Injun hating genocide denialist group.
So Trump is asserting Reiner’s son murdered his father because he was angry about his father’s views on Trump?
And… He doesn’t actually condemn his supporters murdering their parents..?
It is, and I really mean this, indefensible for the University of Oklahoma to remain accredited as an institution of higher education.
