"Israeli military says more than 1,500 Canadians were serving in IOF ranks last year"

This is enraging. Canada is listed as one of top ten countries of dual nationals in the IOF (after US, France, Germany)

Not only is Canada arming Zionist enemy, Canadians are authorized to commit genocide in Gaza
Israeli military says more than 1,500 Canadians were serving in its ranks last year
The news comes after the RCMP confirmed it would collect reports from the public about possible war crimes by Hamas or the IDF.

Two days after the deadly sea collision, ~1,000 people demonstrated in central Athens, chanting slogans such as “Athens – Minnesota we fight together, against the system that murders us,” “open borders for refugees,” and “we live together, we work together with the migrants, fight the nazis.”

Visa and Mastercard are posterchildren for the post war economic order from which Americans take a little taste of most transactions.

Throwing that away for memes or whatever is just something my social science training did not prepare me for.

After years of being exposed to the most horrific images of war and human cruelty on social media, I didn't think I could be shocked into revulsion anymore... and then you all started posting those RFK Jr and Kid Rock photos. 🙈

When folks tense up at the word 'moist,' I like to remind of the great 1990s Canadian alt rock band. Just envision singer David Usher, one of the hottest men to ever walk this earth, when you hear 'moist.' It changes your whole relation to that word.

Every day I read a lecture on here about how the left has to better tailor its message. By which they mean compromise it so it’s not the left’s message anymore. Buddy you are already filling that role I’m not doing your job too.

it really was a supreme act of cowardice and political stupidity that democrats didnt turn trans rights into a policy pillar like gay marriage after the massive nationwide backlash against north carolinas bathroom ban in 2016

The legitimately innovative thing about AI is that it is a completely bottomless pit. It's swallowed up:

- all energy sources
- all our data
- all investment dollars
- all new jobs
- all capex
- all attention
- and now, all hardware components

with absolutely no end in sight. Nothing will satisfy.
the AI junk that nobody - including the people making it - have enough real uses or profitable demand for is screwing up all the things that have real uses and decades of profitable demand

Listen up pals. When the budget graphics don’t have any numbers, you need to flip the fuck out.
We're making careful choices and investing to secure BC's future and protect what matters most to British Columbians. Budget 2026 priorities are protecting core public services, growing the economy, keeping taxes low and reducing the deficit responsibly.

lol, it’s a lot easier to form a tenants union when everyone in the building is in the same group chat
MAJOR: Twin Cities Tenants joins five labor unions, together repping 25,900 members, to launch a rent strike drive, vowing to withhold rent March 1 if @governorwalz.mn.gov fails to deliver an eviction moratorium and rent relief. If launched, this would be the largest US rent strike in 100+ years.

This whole fight over transgender stuff happening on X is so weird to me. The most notable thing about trans issues in the last 5 years has been the enormous, coordinated anti-trans activism campaign across the right, aided by moral cowards in the center.

But that campaign is *never mentioned*.

New 'elbows up' just dropped: Protecting our sovereignty by destroying our capacity to tell our country's history.

Ask any Canadian historian and they will tell you that things were already extremely dire at Library and Archives Canada. Not sure it will even be functional after this.
