Do you use Waze? You might want to rethink it

When you submit a report it appears on Waze's public map. Attached is the username of the person who submitted it. String enough of these together & you can build a detailed profile of where someone lives, works and the routes they take.

‘Venezuela didn’t kill my son, the Sackler family did.’

The Grayzone's Kei Pritsker speaks to Dede Yoder, whose 15 year old son was prescribed Oxycontin – the drug deceptively marketed by the Sacklers' Purdue Pharma – and died six years later of a fentanyl overdose.

This would be funny if it was a skit but unfortunately this is real. This happened last year in Sydney Australia where police were sent to investigate anti-semitism claims after a man displayed a small watermelon on his car.

This consultation is a fulfillment of the promise we (the ad hoc civil society working group) made to the Canadian public, in this open letter to the "AI Minister" Evan Solomon, protesting the rushed and biased 30-day "consultation" to form a "national strategy" on AI: bsky.app/profile/cyn-... #PCAI

This is the colony. These are the people of the colony. Their supporters and funders in the West also hold these views. The same people who are our neighbours and colleagues, and who share this grotesque level of supremacy and inhumanity.

A society that is the leading killer of babies, children, and the brave people who try to report on it, doesn't deserve anyone's support or loyalty. Neither do any of the many complicit news media outlets, like @en.afp.com

In 2026 "Israel says" is clear journalistic malpractice.
Israel is the world’s LEADING KILLER of JOURNALISTS, they killed one of YOUR OWN @afp.com and you STILL REGURGITATE “Israel says” to try to JUSTIFY KILLING JOURNALISTS, like its a FACT.

WHAT A SHAMEFUL POST

WHAT SHAMEFUL!!!

JOURNALISTIC MALPRACTICE!!!

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

Call me old fashioned but I don't think it should be news that a US president won't use force to acquire a long-standing international ally.

The fact that *it is* news is the news.

Haaretz reports that Israel’s FM intervened with Cndn authorities to secure the release of genocide cheerleader, Guy Hochman.

What could the foreign minister of one country say to the authorities of another in a criminal file? What authority does he have?

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.

Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.
