Israel and the US dropped so many bombs directly among civilians that more than 7,800 people have been completely evaporated. Nothing left. Monstrous.
The Gaza Civil Defense reported that 7,820 bodies either completely or partially disappeared due to Israeli airstrikes since October 2023, accounting for roughly 10% of total casualties.

The intensity of the explosives caused bodies to melt or disintegrate in targeted areas. 1/2

It’s funny to hear this report list all the ways Chinese data collection could be a threat when the US does the same things and poses a much greater threat given Trump’s 51st state comments. There’s only a brief acknowledgement at the end that the US isn’t trustworthy either.

Everyone in Alberta knows, whether they will admit it or not, that if you are seriously ill, you are just as likely to die waiting to see a doctor as you are to be treated by one. It is absolutely that bad. The pandemic wasn't as bad as now. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli
From the DM’s…

Healthcare in Alberta has apparently been so badly broken by the UCP that patients with deadly cancer aren’t able to get time critical surgery…

And are evidently put in hotel rooms for lack of space.

Unbelievable that we still talk about withholding HIV funding as a form of political maneuvering rather than an act of social murder, as if the 80’s + 90’s never happened and we didn’t lose an entire generation to this already.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

I find it utterly baffling how "Low birth rates must be solved!" alarmists never consider the reality that social media has given mothers the unprecedented ability to be real about how much it sucks ass to be a mom and the rest of us are reading it and thinking "Why would I want to join your club?"

Pro-natalism will always get a 👀 from me.

And Robyn going off about the need for a pro-motherhood Canada without talking about fatherhood at all is... a choice.

And the complete lack of analysis on race is also telling. It's WHITE babies this crowd wants, let's be real.
