This is a human rights violation.
You could say that a leader could do what they want to their own citizens, but Duterte tried that and he's waiting for ICC jail.
The regime and Bukele belong in ICC prison. They should be tried for crimes against humanity.
Gross. Everyone should watch this.

"I would not rule out treachery" is a hell of a thing for a writer at the notionally respectable Atlantic to say without relating any attempt to find out the truth of what happened IN A PIECE ARGUING FOR MORE OF THAT.
From the Atlantic attempt to justify Bari Weiss' decision. What's Canadian for "perfidious Albion?"

Bari Weiss is a fascist sympathizer, pass it on.
The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas.

This was a fun day on the internet. People are passing around a segment of 60 Minutes like the old Star Wars Christmas special tapes.
Global has now pulled the episode that was live earlier on its website, but it's OUT THERE now.
Fascinating little sliver of time.

No one should be surprised by the existence of this letter, assuming they have heard of the “Access Hollywood” tape.
DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:
"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

What I really don't understand is where all of the people come from who populate these settlements? Surely there can't be that many people who are ready and willing to move in as soon as the land is wrested from its rightful residents.

Surely, Minister @manindersidhu.bsky.social, at the very least we must suspend our free trade deal with Israel, which perversely extends its benefit to these ever-expanding, illegal, war crimes settlements in the West Bank.

Speaking of empties, it's dismaying to read about the hash that's being made of bottle recycling by the Ford government. Glad to read staunch circular economy advocate Valérie Leloup's cautions on where we're heading.
Ottawa Beer Store closures raise new questions about deposits, recycling
More empty alcohol containers are ending up in the blue bin, which isn't as good for recycling them as you might think.

We’d all been told throughout 2020-2021 that certain groups were ‘high risk,’ & those at higher risk were still encouraged to mask when mandates were dropped.
First in that high risk group listing was people over 50. (1/7)

This week, flu activity remains very high, especially among children, youth and older adults. Out of all the flu tests performed in the last week in Ottawa, about 40% are positive.
