The paradox with Carney's thinking on the rules based order is that while he says it's dead, he also aligns himself - most recently, with the war in Iran - with the very states who are destroying it, one war crime and violation of the UN Charter at a time.
Good thread on the importance of a Settler Colonial framing for understanding and describing Israel's Jewish-supremacist expansionist enterprise.
The reason the category of settler colonialism is so vital to the Palestine/Israel discussion is that you simply cannot understand contemporary Israeli policies without it, e.g. in West Bank. Otherwise people resort to talking about the problem as one of "fanatics" - and that's just unconvincing.

Left can't resist being on wrong side of a war Whether it's Jeremy Corbyn or Zack Polanski, their foreign policy stances terrify voters outside core supporters
Well, here’s the thing about being antiwar as an ethical belief: it means you end up opposing most wars. Almost all of them, in fact. This is quite common in people who have consistent beliefs but looks insane to people who have none, or mostly just believe superior people should make the decisions.
2 une du The New York Times : The New York Times – Les États-Unis et Israël attaquent l’Iran L’Iran affirme (à confirmer) que des dizaines ont été tuées lors d’une frappe (pas de responsable) contre une école. 9 morts (un fait) dans une ville israélienne près de Jérusalem après une frappe de missile iranienne (auteur désigné).
Sur le traitement de l'info :
L’Iran affirme (à confirmer) que des dizaines ont été tuées lors d’une frappe (pas de responsable) contre une école.
9 morts (un fait) dans une ville israélienne près de Jérusalem après une frappe de missile iranienne (auteur désigné).
Ça c'est aussi de la guerre...
We can be fierce champions of democracy & human rights in Iran while, at the same time, firmly rejecting unilateral & unlawful military action by one state against another. Both are, after all, grounded in the same values & the same vision for humanity. Both take us in the same direction.
You're telling me that word association tools trained on internet comments don't know how to deescalate?

Billions to the Ukraine. Peanuts to Cuba. halifax.citynews.ca/2026/02/25/c...
A million Canadians visit Cuba annually (or did, pre-pandemic). 1.4M Canadians are Ukrainian. We are giving Cuba 0.032% of what we have given to Ukraine.
A whole $8M going to Cuba, the day after Canada upped its 4-year contribution to Ukraine to $25B.
The NB gov’t wants to privatize my university.
Mount Allison is consistently ranked the #1 undergrad uni in Canada.
Here is a thread that lists all of the proven and overwhelmingly negative impacts of privatizing a public uni.

This is a presidency that hates women. It especially hates women who aren't home with children.
The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mention Trump.

This is extraordinary. The presenter (Stefan Renna) explains how the Israeli athlete (Adam Edelman) supported IDF actions in Gaza & asserts this violates the International Olympic Committee’s rules on political statements by athletes. Mentions Heraskevych. The presenter practically offers footnotes!
Incredible victory! After years of organizing across Canada, Scotia Bank has divested from Elbit Systems!
Elbit is Israel's largest weapons company, arming the occupation and genocide of Palestine.

If we understand this type of thing as hypocrisy we are misunderstanding the emerging world order: a network of ruthless, powerful men who help only those who can give them things they want.
The denial of tenure was never about scholarship. It was a retaliatory move from @texastechlib.bsky.social to send a chilling message: dissent that threatens institutional power will be punished. Shame on Ron Hendrick, Brendon Creighton, Lawrence Schovanec turned tenure into a political tool!
LAC was already limping along on life support for years and now this.
Mia Valentina Paz Faria A 7-year-old from Venezuela who was living in Austin, Texas Detained for 70 days “I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”
UPDATE: Staff at the ICE concentration camp in Dilley, Texas have begun raiding the dormitories of kids and their parents to confiscate and destroy letters from the children. This is in response to the ace reporting by @micarosenberg et al for ProPublica:
“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”
- 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas.
Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children.

“Jackson is arrested in 1993 after blocking 5th Avenue as part of a group protesting against the Clinton administration’s policy of maintaining a detention camp for Haitian political refugees who were HIV positive”
Remember this history as we remember this man.
I often think about the fact that if the FBI et al had not killed Fred Hampton, he would be 78 today. Younger than Jesse Jackson was. Must have felt strange to outlive many of your contemporaries by decades.
I was denied tenure.
Palestine is an ancient term for the land in question dating back thousands of years. Removing this word from museum displays at this time serves only the genocidal interest of Israel as it seeks to destroy the Palestinian nation.
Funny/not funny. Ontario government calls Ring of Fire minerals ‘the most ethical on Earth,’ while passing legislation that suspends treaty rights, species protections, and human rights — to benefit extractive industries.

Very deliberately evoking and extoling Columbus, whose sadism, once hidden or at least considered a narrative inconvenience, is celebrated as virtuous and necessary by the debased scoundrels who now lead America.
For five centuries, before the end of the Second World War, the West had been expanding – its missionaries, its pilgrims, its soldiers, its explorers pouring out from its shores to cross oceans, settle new continents, build vast empires extending out across the globe. But in 1945, for the first time since the age of Columbus, it was contracting. Europe was in ruins. Half of it lived behind an Iron Curtain and the rest looked like it would soon follow. The great Western empires had entered into terminal decline, accelerated by godless communist revolutions and by anti-colonial uprisings that would transform the world and drape the red hammer and sickle across vast swaths of the map in the years to come.
Rubio just straight up extols the European colonial project and blames “anti-colonial uprisings” for the continent’s decline.
