I think it’s pretty near. Just quieter. And with less reporting on it. Which is probably worse.

Maria Ressa going on the Daily Show and being like, "we tried to warn you [colonizers] this shit you created is bad and self-destructive [but you never listen brown people and women]" is basically the story of "western civilization" in a nutshell

Anyone else feeling like the world is completely falling apart?

I’m officially scared.

Because of this ONE tweet being afraid of potential reverberations of right wing political violence from this — something many others have said — I’m now the first result on a website called “charliesmurderers.”

This is putting me in genuine danger.

What the fuck do I do

This is a serving politician QTing a young woman journalist — someone already subjected to a sustained and dangerous hate campaign, including rape and death threats. Doing this at such a volatile moment can only add to her risk.
Ironically, @rachelgilmore.bsky.social is also expressing her views.

Variety describes Bari Weiss as “a well-regarded opinion writer who has tilted at extreme views, particularly those who are emblematic of the progressive “woke” movement.”

Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

NEW: The Carney government invited President of The Heritage Foundation, those behind Project 2025 to address cabinet. Though the ostensible reason was to gain insight on approaching US trade talks, a deeper look reveals far more. Carney's policies uncomfortably echo Project 2025. #cdnpoli

Why Does Carney Value Project 2025?

A meeting of the minds or thoughtful diplomacy?

Frm intro to convo to the end leans into the fact that the pandemic never ended.Titles are more for length than anything else but as someone with lived experience of long COVID and suffering still, I can tell you it’s a whole other pandemic on its own and deserves to be.Thank you for listening! :)

Hmmm…it’s like three female journalists raised the alarm on this in 2022 and then were subsequently shut down. I wonder who they could be…

These threats have been happening to female reporters and of colour yet nothing substantial was done

So many armchair generals out here tweeting war games & strategy (while clueless) as Israel escalates strikes across the region & the world sits at a dangerous crossroads.
Giving“little boys playing in the sandbox” energy at a critical and rather shameful point in history.

Media outlets framing Israel’s strikes on Iran as “pre-emptive” might want to look up the word? What was being “pre-empted”? Maybe stop quotes-based reporting now that we are at this critical point in history and let’s do some journalism.

Very unlikely that any military action by Israel is ever taken without the knowledge and consent of the U.S.

Carney & the Liberal govt’s new border bill is tightening immigration laws, expanding security enforcement powers & limits refugee rights. Critics say it also risks violating Charter protections. Are we following the U.S.–Trump playbook on immigration?
