BREAKING: Israel’s government just approved the first phase of the ceasefire deal and a ceasefire is supposed to go into effect immediately.

Israel killed at least 29 Palestinians today, according to Al Jazeera.
CNN headline: Israeli government approves Gaza ceasefire resolution CNN article screenshot reads: Where things stand • JUST IN: Israel's government has approved the US-brokered Gaza ceasefire and hostage release resolution, according to the prime minister's office. Officials have said the ceasefire will take effect immediately. • US presence: The United States is sending 200 troops to be on the ground to monitor the plan's implementation, a senior US official said. "No US troops are intended to go into Gaza," another official said. Al Jazeera update reads: Four killed al-Sabra attack, bringing day's death toll to 29: Wafa The Palestinian news agency has reported that four people have been killed in the Israeli attack we've been reporting in the Sabra neighbourhood in Gaza City. That brings the day's death toll in Gaza to 29, according to the news agency, despite the ceasefire breakthroughs.

And by tweak, you mean fully rescind the legislation, fire the ridiculous fentanyl czar, and redirect the $1.3 Billion for border security to health and housing—right?

You’re going to do that, right?

In the face of heavy blowback from opposition parties and civil liberties groups, the Carney government is expected to table new legislation soon that will tweak its massive “Strong Borders Act.”
Carney government expected to replace controversial border bill
An analysis by the Justice Department concluded the original version of the bill could have affected several rights protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

We're not at war with Venezuela, these boats are many hundreds of lines from our waters, much less our shores, there is no threat, this is just murder.

I really do think everyone from the SecDef to the guy who pushed the button should be tried for murder on this.

Don’t believe anyone who tells you that intelligence shows anything “without a doubt,” but even if the intelligence was water-tight, this strike was still murder. No law permits the deliberate, premeditated killing of civilians.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

I also have no nostalgia for the road to fascism, which is a trap I think a lot of liberal and progressive folks are falling into—romanticizing the conditions that preceded this moment of acceleration. The path that led to this mess is not the way out.

j.k. rowling should be understood, first and foremost, as a misogynist. she just sometimes cloaks her misogyny by accusing others of sexism. see how she denigrates emma watson as an ungrateful, spoiled, bratty princess. this is solely because watson refuses to be a transphobe

this is the most miserable woman alive. she’s alienated herself from everyone who ever loved, respected, or trusted her and sees any attempt at conciliation as an underhanded attack. she is in a mind jail of her own creation that will just grow more and more isolated as she marches to the grave

Gives me the fucking creeps how these people are making fake women using AI and choose to give them extremely child-like faces. 🚩
Variety article headline reads: Al Actress Tilly Norwood Draws Backlash From Melissa Barrera, Lukas Gage and More Hollywood Names as Creator Defends Her as a 'New Tool' and 'Not a Replacement for a Human Being' Image shows the AI actress, a pretty smiling brunette young woman with a child-like face. Article begins: "The creator of AI actress Tilly Norwood has released a statement following a weekend of heated backlash over the news that talent agents were already interested in signing the digital character."

If ever there was a time not to normalize Trump’s authoritarian fever dreams, this is it.

This should be impeachable. ‘War ravaged’ Portland? He’s insane - & insanely power hungry. The script is set - call an imaginary group a terror group and then send in the troops.
