Irene Montero: No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression — Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Afghanistan. It will not happen in Iran either

When they want to sell their oil wars, their wars for profit, their imperial wars — they hide behind women’s rights to justify them

"Canada has long been complacent about foreign policy and national security: it could afford to neglect the pressures and incentives of the realities of power, comfortably sheltered as it was by a mostly benevolent United States."

Israel launches huge strikes against south Beirut after mass evacuation order Residents fled Lebanese capital in panic before assaults on claimed Hezbollah targets while Tehran continues to launch retaliatory attacks

Forcing half a million people to leave their homes and then destroying their homes is ethnic cleansing.

No one could have foreseen this.

(Reminder: the Gulf states are Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE. The reason we may end up in war with Iran is because of Carney's trade deals with human rights abusers.)

Minab school bombing: how the worst mass casualty event of the Iran war unfolded – a visual guide A strike on Shajareh Tayyebeh school during the US-Israeli bombing campaign killed up to 168 people.

168 killed, dozens of them children.

The school was located next to an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) barracks, but there is no indication that the school was involved in the IRGC.

These people and these girls would not be dead if it weren't for the USA and Israel's illegal war.

It's impossible to describe the kind of moral violation it is to leave shipwreck victims in the water with no help, even when you're the one that caused the shipwreck. At sea ships help each other and sort out the diplomatic bullshit later because at sea you can only rely on each other.

Das Bild zeigt Kathi, als sie noch gesund war.

Worte, von denen ich (Johanna) niemals dachte, sie verfassen zu müssen, und die ich nun in tiefer Trauer niederschreibe.
Kathi ist heute Mittag von uns gegangen.
Kathi war ein absoluter Freigeist und hat sich - obwohl sie so unbedingt leben wollte - den Wunsch, wieder frei zu sein, selbstbestimmt erfüllt.
Nach jahrelangem Leiden in Dunkelheit ist sie heute in den strahlend blauen Himmel gezogen und wird ab jetzt auf eine andere Art und Weise bei uns allen sein.
Mit ihre letzten Worte waren, dass sie ihre Freund:innen liebt und sich wünscht, dass wir unser Leben in vollen Zügen leben und genießen.
Freu dich nicht zu spät
RIP Kathi

Carney calls for 'rapid de-escalation of hostilities' in the Middle East to protect innocent civilians | CBC

In new comments, Mark Carney misled and lied about Iran’s nuclear program and the history of negotiations — blaming failures on Iran, rather than Trump’s withdrawal.

He condemned Iran for its retaliatory strikes, but not the US and Israel for their initial attacks in violation of international law.

Pips lost her mother to lions in September 2025. A few days old. Giraffes are skittish and not inclined to trust people quickly. Pips was all of that. Then she decided Keeper Peter was probably safe. Now he has to leave his coat behind when he runs errands.

I'm glad Sean Carroll and others knew to say no to Epstein

But why aren't we platforming/applauding the women, queer, and POC scientists who were calling out this bad behavior over a decade ago?

It's time for reparations. We need more funding for minority researchers & science communicators

Fun fact: because of how they both relate to a small ball, the words ballot and bullet share an origin in the Latin "bulla," a knob or similar small round object.

Malcom X didn't explicitly refer to this but it's why the wordplay works in his famous "The Ballot or the Bullet" speech.

World at War: Canada Must Speak Up On the first day of the Iran war, they bombed a school and murdered 165 children, seriously injuring 95 more.

On day one of the war 165 children were murdered in a terror bombing of a school.
At one time such an atrocity would result in widespread condemnation.
Not any more.
We remain silent at our peril.

56 students are now back in the classroom. Teachers are continuing lessons with adapted materials, including repaired Braille machines.

Learning continues, even in challenging conditions.

Here's story we did, laying it out:

Derek Chauvin had a body-cam not only when he killed George Floyd, but also when he knelt on necks of others, including a 14-year-old. The boy's mother begged, "“Please, please do not kill my son!”

Supervisors ignored it all

Headlines moved on quickly from the schoolgirls in Minab. We don’t know their names; no media profiles about their lives and aspirations. No smiling photos attached to quotes from mourning families.

How unfair that some dead are memorialised while others are relegated to ‘estimated casualties.’
