Incredible news from Nigeria: Ogoni 9 pardoned. They should never have been sentenced and killed.

Gaza is a ‘killing field’ where people are being starved. How long will the world tolerate this?

Insane. Climate change means more water and this mine has frequently had problems managing water. How has the province taken that into account, without measuring it?! And since the disaster, Imperial Metals gets to use Quesnel lake as its discharge dumping ground. This mine is an ongoing nightmare.

This is one of many very loud warning bells at the nexus of public science & rising U.S. authoritarianism. U.S. monitoring of air pollution was essential to transparency in countries where it lacked. The cessation of these monitors sends a message: the US represents the interests of polluters.

And let’s remember Poilli*^re wants to destroy the publicly funded CBC while we’re at it.

Listening on the CBC to the US President spout his vile deeds as if they’re great accomplishments. Listening from Canada is witnessing and standing in solidarity with all those who the Republican Administration and its flunkies hate.

Hey Canadians! If you’re worried about the looming federal election and don’t support PP here’s a gentle reminder to support your party/candidate with money and volunteering according to your ability ASAP. The election could be called any day and we will need to be ready!

We should really resist normalizing this. And any Canadian leader who thinks they’re somehow ‘special’ and would fare better should think twice after this display of arrogance and narcissism.

Infosec 101 for Activists Website: https://infosecforactivists.org/ Introduction America has a strong tradition of activism, dating back to slave revolts and indigenous uprisings even before the founding of the United States. ...

If you are taking inspiration from movements *please study them.* 20th Century Civil rights organizers were very hard core about security. You should be too.

Here's some very basic guidance -- I don't know who made this site, but it checks out --

German authorities must stop their crackdown on speech and protests and the discriminatory restriction of freedom of expression and peaceful assembly.

I was so disgusted by Moe Sihota & the Conservative woman cheerleading for Woodfiber/LNG. So short-sighted and foolish to sink money into this, effectively tying a carbon bomb around all our necks, pretending it’s a pretty bow of ‘economic reconciliation’. As you said, ‘Shock doctrine’ indeed.

This kind of NIMBYism & propaganda is what is tearing the United States apart right now. I am appalled that this group is peddling its hateful agenda and lies to residents of the Comox Valley, asking homeowners like me to punch down on the unhoused. Not going to happen.
