Sorry. White people in Canada have no conscience or solidarity with Indigenous people while all of their parties trample and run all over Indigenous rights. Why should I be concerned about the feelings of a privileged and entitled group?

When asked about the Yemeni people killed in the bombing that was discussed in the Signal group chat, Jeffrey Goldberg was dismissive, and eager to change the subject. I argue this orientation to US killings is why he was in the group chat to begin with.
Jeffrey Goldberg Dismissing Yemeni Deaths Is Why He Was in the Group Chat to Begin With
As someone who launders pro-Israel, pro-US government talking points for a living, Goldberg being on Trump officials’ speed dial makes perfect sense—and is everything wrong with US media.

Look, I get it, Biden can have a little corruption as a treat or whatever, but liberals do realize he is personally responsible for putting tens of thousands of poor people in jail for drugs right? And that pardoning his son specifically is blatant, open, textbook corruption?

There is a very simple reason why the UK government refuses to acknowledge the genocide in Gaza.
If they did, they would be admitting their own complicity in one of the greatest crimes of our time.
End all arms sales to Israel, now.

#Israel’i air strikes just flattened these residential apartment blocks in #Beirut. You can hear shocked screams of people in the street below as the missiles hit & the buildings collapse in just seconds. This is the daily reality of life in #Lebanon’s capital now.
