Why These Iranian-Canadians Strongly Oppose U.S.-Israeli Aggression

🚨 BREAKING: Oman's Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr Al-Busaidi says a peace deal is "within our reach." He says Iran has agreed to: 🔸 Zero stockpiling of nuclear material 🔸 Down-blending current stockpiles of enriched material to lowest level possible, a "neutral level," and converted to fuel. And that fuel will be irreversible. 🔸 Claimed that Iran is now open to the idea of allowing American inspectors access to its nuclear sites, a major shift from previous stances. When Brennan noted that Iran had refused American inspectors even under the Obama administration, Al-Busaidi responded that this is a "much, much better deal" because Iran is now "open to the idea in a way that... never had been the case in the past". 🔸 The Minister emphasized that while broad terms could be agreed upon almost immediately, a 3-month period is necessary for the technical work required to make the agreement "watertight." “In 3 months, implementation of agreement can be in place.” Within that 90-day window, Oman’s Foreign Minister stated that negotiators would hammer out technical details regarding the handling of Iran's existing enriched material. They would also finalize the protocols for verification and compliance, and establish the specific details for international (and likely American) inspectors to access Iranian nuclear facilities. He urged President Trump to give the negotiators and diplomacy the time and space to reach the deal. Technical teams from both the U.S. and Iran are scheduled to meet in Vienna next week to continue these discussions.

Do you condemn illegal war?
So excited to see this out! My essay entitled “Between Pleasure and Precarity” is included in this issue! The article tells stories about migrant gender/sexual non conforming workers. If you like my essay, you are in for some treats! I am writing a book about these workers’ cruising practices!
Just saying. It is disheartening to see the tragedy turning into anti trans narrative.
Deeply disappointed and enraged! As someone who is in the field, I am sending solidarity to folks at Texas A&M.

To understand the logic behind these warehouses and this new horrific carceral regime, you can’t do better than Ruthie Gilmore’s The Golden Gulag.

Friends, don’t miss this amazing online panel: youtube.com/live/qNreEQJ...
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.
Accurate analysis!
Why do Chinese gay men eroticise the heteropatriarchal masculinity that oppresses them? Examining online S&M subcultures centred on the worship of straight-acting men, Bingchang Sun challenges interpretations that frame these practices solely as abjection or resistance.
This looks wildly similar to my book. 1) who at Yale invited him 2) will anyone challenge him at the talk?

New — I wrote about ChongLy Scott Thao, the elderly Hmong American wrongly arrested and forced out of his home by ICE in his underwear during the punishing Minnesota winter, what witnesses saw, and DHS's racist claim that he fit the description of another Asian man they were looking for.
My story:
Canada’s richest 1% now hold almost $1.25 trillion in wealth, nearly as much as the bottom 80% combined.
Meanwhile, poverty is on the rise and about 1/4 of Canadians now live in food-insecure households & regularly skip meals, Oxfam Canada report says.

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve.
Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body.
This is not new but it is expanding.

I'm sorry, but I just think it's very telling when we differentiate between ICE's killing of American citizens versus undocumented immigrants. And I'm seeing that a lot right now.
Images of murderer in immediate aftermath of the murder he committed. He wears a POLICE FEDERAL AGENT badge on a black utility vest over a black coat and a brown neck gaiter covering his face at and below the nose. He had receding brown hair and on top of his head and gray hair on the sides, cropped close. White man, pronounced dark brows.

He's halfway across Wisconsin by now, I'm sure, but this is the murderer.
