It’s time to talk about Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein, and how much harder questions need to be asked about his foundation. Great to get @timschwab.bsky.social’s insights!

In a couple weeks, we’ll also be talking about Epstein’s relationship with Elon Musk.

I've heard politicians and assorted folks in the right-wing media refer to "professional protesters" my entire life. And yet, I've never actually met one.

The Northern Community Land Trust’s Project 1086 in Whitehorse is proof that when we kick corporate developers and real estate speculators out of the equation, we can build permanently affordable homes and restore housing as a human right for everyone.

1/ PM Carney: you can and must categorically rule out participation in this illegal war.

Your unqualified support of Trump and Netanyahu’s war was bad enough. It’s unconscionable that you’re now considering putting Canadian forces in harm’s way.

Canada to be leading supplier of LNG

Canada to be leading supplier of LNG

Perhaps there is something horribly appropriate and enormously telling in the fact that the leading figure in this environmentally destructive rampage is a former UN climate envoy and an apostle of 'inclusive capitalism.' #Carney #LNG

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.
Sahar Delijani, Iranian author

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

New Israeli poll shows young Jewish voters most right-wing, fanatically religious, and pro-genocide in Israeli history A poll conducted by Israel’s Channel 12 found that half a million new young Jewish Israeli voters are the most right-wing and religiously fanatic in Israel’s history. They’re voting in the upcoming Kn...

'These young new voters are part of this genocidal turn. They are not just entering the electoral picture β€” they’re entering the army. Military service is also likely to further radicalize them. They are poised to live by the sword.' #Israel

For Mark Carney, the leader of a democratic country, to back a war his counterpart Trump started without the approval of the United States government, should raise serious questions for Canadians about the value our own Prime Minister places on our democratic process.
