Marna Nightingale — ICE gets the skates.

Oh, military gentlemen, they bluster, roar and pray. Nine sailors on the Nancy, boys, made fifty run away. The powder in their hair that day was powder sent their way By poor and ragged sailor men, who swore that they would stay.

today, like every day, is a good day to challenge the absurd leaps of logic underpinning the "we don't need more homes, actually" argument

"the U.S., along with its ally Israel, is once again prosecuting war in the Middle East. Only this time, America’s case is built not on one lie but a stack of lies — & Prime Minister Mark Carney thus far has seen fit to rationalize all of them"

What a moronic idea.

There’s loads of available land and space never mind existing convention centers. Filling in a lake and creating a traffic disaster seems like a really stupid idea.

"Instead of Googling Epstein, Aaronson, then 29, turned to what he considered an even more reliable source: his mother. She did some checking. “Be careful not to get sucked up in the slime-machine going on here.... Since you don’t care that much about money, they can’t buy you.”"

Today I want to talk about Jess’ Rule and Martha’s Rule, two new initiatives across NHS England that I think are really important and you should know about.
Tl;dr: if your symptoms are not improving or getting worse, at home or in hospital, you have the right and Drs the responsibility to review.

Justin Ling: Trump’s war in Iran shows Carney has lots to learn about the new world order — one thing most of all The U.S. case for war is built upon a stack of lies, and Ottawa has seen fit to rationalize every one of them.

Two decades ago, Canada declined to go to war based on lies.

Today, Cabada wasn't even invited to the war — and yet, for some reason, we're participating in the fiction. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

This is the conversation that goes through my head every day when my shitty neighbor smokes his skunk weed on his porch and my entire backyard and house smells like weed.

I want to punch him in the face but I don’t want to send him to jail.

Really hate this iteration of the world where people are unable to hold both notions that Iran was under a fundamentalist dictatorship which needed to go to benefit the people but the US attacking Iran was only to benefit western imperialism and not the Iranian people.

Black-and-white portrait of Stompin Tom Connors standing against a white background. He wears a dark cowboy hat, a dark fringed jacket, and a patterned shirt. An acoustic guitar is slung over his right shoulder, and his left hand grips the neck near the headstock, where a small keyring or tassels hang. He faces the camera in a three-quarter pose.

Devastating. Just absolutely devastating. To see the complete silence from the right is expected but even lawmakers on the left don't seem especially bothered by.

Ofc they did, because it's never their fault. Just like deporting American citizens, or stealing a bunch of files and taking it to Mar-a-Lago, or killing innocent ppl on boats…yeah, that can't be their fault.

gavin newsom is a very useful weathervane because he believes in nothing save the fact that he should be president

that he's making these noises about israel support should tell you how incredibly over it is for israel within the democratic party going forward

Inside the Pro-Israel Campaign to Stop ‘The Voice of Hind Rajab’ From Winning an Oscar A group led by top Hollywood executives and linked to the Israeli government is trying to smear a film about a little girl killed by Israeli forces.

I hope this gets more people to see this important and heartbreaking movie.

Bullying people won't work. People have a genocide in real time on their phones and a majority of Americans want it to end.

This is a good analogy. Very useful in carefully controlled settings for specific usages, but unfortunately being widely inserted into everything and used without training or PPE and poisoning a lot of things and people and we’re going to pay a tonne of money to remove it safely in the future

She was on metro morning just now talking about how much the chief is doing, above & beyond, and how great a local cop near her is. She’s the fucking chair of the only real oversight board and she sounds like internal police comms.

This is an untenable situation.

The mayor needs to yank Shelley Carroll off the police board today. This is bananas. Here’s a gift link. Are there any elected officials in Toronto standing up for residents? She must go.

Fifth, this is already the third time in 25 years that the US has unilaterally rewritten the N American governance bargain (post-9/11, Trump I, Trump II).

That’s all on top of the basic fact that this president is a liar whose word is worth less than nothing.
US treaties ain’t what they used to be.

Third, in a Great Power world, a diminished US will need to lean even more heavily on Canada for economic and physical security, raising the cost of getting out of line. Fourth, extreme US polarization means we can no longer count on policies and even treaties to persist across administrations.
