This is the face of a war criminal.
The IDF say they are rooting out terrorists. Instead their soldiers are terrorizing people out of their homes and then setting themselves up in the abandoned homes and stealing their food.
Israel is a terror state.
The Saudi posture on the Iran War is clear enough for the moment. The public posture is to be opposed to war, sanctions and military action. The actual posture behind the scenes is to foment US/Israeli attacks on Iran. This strategy is changing the balance of power in the region.

Does this look like democracy to you?
"The majority of [RM of Sherwood's] council members were appointed by the province… only 10 days ago. Monday was their first regular council meeting.
4 of the 7 current councillors do not live in the RM and were not elected by the residents…" #SkPoli #Sask
Danielle Smith is not a conservative, not a libertarian conservative, and not a libertarian populist as she has claimed.
She is something Canada has never seen before.

I've just realised something sinister: all of the AI assistants that are answering the phone have been given the voices of young women. Let's have a think about the social and cultural messaging here.
Huge thanks to 30 Liberal MPs who refused to oppose C-233. Your choice shows that the movement to close Canada's arms export loophole is growing. 🇨🇦
Govt has power to fix it. Don't let up—keep organizing and keep the pressure on. We won't stop until Canada is no longer complicit in war crimes.
Oil companies are set for $90B in windfall profits while the bottom 40% of Canadians hold just 3% of wealth.
I asked the Liberals for a "Yes or No" on a windfall tax & gas price caps to stop the gouging. They gave me a non-answer about "tools."
Canadians need relief, not "reviews." #cdnpoli
WELL NOW, would you look at that?
A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.
This is horrific. I feel physically ill.

Christ, we’re all old farts.
Love the song and all of Peter Gabriel’s work, though.
Are they conspiring with the orcas?
Mask vending machine at JFK
So great to see JFK airport still has mask vending machines, which have 3M Auras!
"He did not spend his time sounding obsessed with floor crossings, Ottawa gossip or childish political theatre. He came forward talking about the cost of living and about the concrete pressures Canadians are feeling every single day. Food prices. Energy prices. Online pricing tricks."
I am so tired of men telling me that I am not assessing the situation correctly when they haven’t assessed the situation at all.
The year is 1969. Man lands on the moon. Back on Earth, the Concorde flies its first test for a commercial supersonic airline.
The year is 2026. Man circles the moon and will, a few years later, land. Back on Earth, there is a concept of a plan for commercial supersonic flights.
Get you a transportation secretary who doesn’t use oxymorons like “land-based flight.”
What a great, thorough piece about the role of benches in our public spaces. As long COVID and its associated fatigue gets more common more places to sit are going to be essential for letting folks participate in public life and all the dynamics in this article will come into play in the process.
The military campaign launched by the United States against Iran is part of a broader effort to contain China.
However, so far, the results appear less favorable for the U.S. and more advantageous for China.
Why are Canadian media reporting on Canada Post as if they've all been given a script to follow? Journalists are interfering with the union's contract ratification vote by parroting Canada Post management's talking points and telling Canadians that it isn't viable.
💔Kostiantynivka, Donetsk region, is being wiped off the earth by Russia.
Pilots from the Phoenix border guard unit recorded another Russian strike on the city carried out with heavy aerial bombs. Several powerful explosions hit simultaneously, literally shaking the entire city.
Of course US-Iran negotiations have gone nowhere. The Iranians are prioritizing national interests. The Americans are prioritizing presidential image management.
My latest in @foreignpolicy.com:
Democracy is at heart a consensus-making process for governing society while respecting human rights and individual freedom.
These disinformation campaigns - whether intentionally or purely for profit - must be seen as attacks on democracy and, as a result, attacks on humanity.
Just a little reminder 🐾🤍
Pope Leo in address to World of Culture: “The problem does not lie in knowledge, but in its deviation toward an intelligence that no longer seeks to correspond to reality, but to bend it to its own measures, judging it according to the convenience of those who claim to know.”
