A brief thread on the interference with humanitarian aid to conflict zones.
Interfering with the ability of people trapped in conflict zones, to access food or healthcare,
is
a
crime
against
humanity
under the Rome Statute. This applies to anyone, acting from anywhere.

These unbelievable cowards
Alex Norris explaining that the govt is passing legislation that means if someone asks Grok to produce an image of a woman in a bikini they will be committing a criminal offence. Whereas when it comes to taking action against X, we're told thats a matter for Ofcom not the govt.

I said: your work speaks for itself, and we can mark it to market (it is often the sort of thing that the passage of time allows us to check more thoroughly... we mark the value of your work to the information market that develops). You'd have every reason to feel you do well at that.

Oh I trust no one, certainly not about that, who the hell knows. One hears tell that everyone out there and his sister funds y'all but you don't seem lavish to me so I dunno. What you guys do is "the work speaks for itself and can be marked to market" type stuff.

This system is unfair to trans, two-spirit, gender fluid, gender non-binary and intersex Canadians, who, frankly, can't get a NEXUS card from Trump's anti-trans government. They are Canadian citizens, with protected Charter rights. That cannot be allowed to stand. #transrightsarehumanrights

Good call from Senator Simons. That needs to change; and it's simple enough to duplicate the program domestically.
If Canadians, travelling domestically, want to use the "good" security line at the airport, they need a NEXUS card, even if they aren't going to the US. And they need the blessing of Donald Trump's Homeland Security apparatus to get one. I'm calling on Canada to end this absurdity. #Canada #NEXUS

Did they find them a stop? One of the strangest things I regularly see on my narrow little side-street (one half block from a wide boulevard!) is a Flixbus bus cutting through to go north with barely room on either side. They don't know what the hell they're doing and I hope they get help.

Yeah I can't understand why Canadian conservatives aren't touting this country's enormously more successful (on the numbers) and low-violence system for immigration and customs enforcement. It's even a conservative success story if they want to use a cheeky lens. They don't, what babies.
