A tweet from the Daily Mail with a headline saying "Four biblical signs the world has entered the end of days as US bombs Iran

This perfectly illustrates my point that the British tabloids are aiming at a US audience. There like 5 people in the UK who think about this. But it is huge among US evangelicals.

British politicians need to ignore UK tabloids, as UK tabloids are talking to an audience in the US for clicks.

I was a very effeminate little kid and absolutely nobody tried to get me to transition, they just tried to get me to be More Manly. It's an entirely imaginary problem created from whole cloth by bigots.

Tell Carney: Oppose Illegal Attacks on Iran

As Trump and Netanyahu drag the region into war, Canada is shamefully cheering them on. Join us in emailing Prime Minister Carney and Foreign Minister Anand to demand that they retract their support for illegal US-Israeli attacks on Iran and impose sanctions on Israel. share.nwmd.social/s/gPDRSbL8

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

Tell Senators: Vote NO on C-12 Speak up against this attack on migrants

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Send a letter to Senators: Stop C-12. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/send...

There is another Terry Fox statue in Toronto Music Garden on the harbourfront

This is unconscionable. Evil.

But it happened in May 2023, when Biden was president.

So no, we don’t “reform immigration detention,” we destroy ICE, CBP, and DHS. We can’t reform this soul sickness.

Good was not similarly marked. The same ideology that casts all Black men as dangerous predators tends to identify white women as their most vulnerable targets. White supremacists would have you believe that they’re trying to protect people like Renee Good from people like George Floyd. Instead, Floyd and Good were both sacrificed to the same false god. Already, members of the Trump Administration and their allies in the media have been editing their taxonomy so that Good falls into the same category of disposable persons as Floyd. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem described her as a domestic terrorist. Right-wing pundit Erick Erickson called her an “AWFUL (Affluent White Female Urban Liberal).” Presumably it’s the UL that authorizes her liquidation, not the AWF. But in a sense, it doesn’t matter why they say she’s been retroactively assigned to the administration’s proscription list. The point is simply that they can do it, and they can do it to whoever they want.

Working people do not benefit from war, corporate greed, or the violent theft of another nation’s resources. CUPE condemns the U.S. military attack on Venezuela and the kidnapping of its elected leaders, an illegal act driven by profit, not democracy. Canada must stand up for Venezuelan workers.

I know it's not mainstream conventional wisdom but I think "Abolish ICE" is a perfectly reasonable response to this and you can get the public to buy in. Most people don't want masked murderous thugs roving their streets

This is what our government has sent into cities across the country to arrest normal, nonviolent working people. Insanity.

so in the first week of 2028, the Trump administration has kidnapped a foreign leader, threatened a sovereign nation, and just straight up murdered a US citizen

Mark Carney did not join NATO allies in signing this joint statement reaffirming the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Denmark and Greenland:

Also personally think that bullying absolutely does not necessarily make the victim a better person. That is not how trauma works.

"Adults are able to make hard choices and articulate them and stand behind them. People who are not yet adults engage in magical thinking and think they can eat their cake and have it too," says Perks, of Bradford's motion that'd reduce revenue without saying where he'd cut services or find offsets.

this is not behavior becoming of a FIFA Peace Prize recipient.

This is a really appalling editorial error on BBC Question Time

"Apparently one in three children don't speak English as a first language, why does this matter?"

Chair says "have English as a second language"

Caption changes the meaning entirely
"Don't speak fluent English"

Enjoy! I imagine there are less cruises full of elderly Brits in Charlottetown in December than there were in September haha

Honestly this has nothing to do with the "European free speech model". The US also proscribes organizations in incredibly opaque ways and takes legal action against people who donate to them

so this is like, one of the biggest free speech infringements by a western democracy in our lifetimes right?

if you steal a cell phone or wallet in paris they kick you out of the french thieve's guild for insufficient whimsy

Scrapping the two-child limit *is* welfare reform. Defining ‘reform’ solely as ‘cut’ is one reason why it’s proved so difficult

Best two runners up get playoffs. Suriname beat out Honduras by having scored more goals (they had equal goal differential)

good god, if you're going to u-turn on the tax promise surely it has to be by making it more progressive, not the opposite

Unfortunately based on the projection it would be Farage vs Davey

tbf, having looked it up, am surprised GO doesn't reach as far as London

Idk that this comparison works. Regional rail is the comparable service to UK nat'l rail in practice and is a bit less reliable, but also *a lot cheaper* (at least in ON)

There are areas of public infrastructure that it's clearly true of (social housing!) but I think UK isn't clearly ahead overall

Somehow still found not guilty 🤷

The UK right is fully into "remigration" now, and Labour is just trying to sell it's own harsher immigration policies as more practical, rather than challenging this extremist policy head-on

Talks happening 'at pace' over decision to block Tel Aviv fans, says Downing Street Followers of the Israeli club will not be allowed to attend the Europa League game after a decision by Birmingham safety advisory group.

It’s deeply wrong that Israeli teams are even still in UEFA competitions, yet now we essentially have the PM giving 0 thought to the safety of a largely Muslim neighbourhood in Birmingham, so that Maccabi fans can attend a match
