in order to be an environmentalist, you have to be anti-imperialist, anti-zionist, and anti-capitalist. anything else is just cosplay.

the fact that we witnessed this in real time and yet the world is still so silent is absolutely enraging
Wikipedia now describe some cities in Gaza in past tense.

Actually a lot of people predicted this, and were largely mocked as unserious
If someone had predicted before the last election that if Trump won, federal officers would be shooting Americans in the streets, he'd have been dismissed as an alarmist.

It really doesn’t take much courage to say “we won’t fund what ICE is doing right now” so how are we supposed to believe Dems will stand for anything?

Federal agents in Minneapolis wrestled Alex Pretti to the ground and secured the handgun he was carrying moments before shooting him multiple times, according to a Washington Post analysis of video footage. Read more: wapo.st/4qGOx8M

I spoke with two armed men present last night at the Alex Pretti vigil/autonomous zone, who agreed to speak on the condition I obscure their eyes. One, identified as Comrade Loon (the MN state bird), explained the reasoning for their presence and had a message for conservatives:

Mark Carney can give all the speeches he wants but it's meaningless if we're still helping to arm the American gestapo death squads

Renee Good’s killer: 10 year ICE officer Alex Pretti’s killer: 8 year Border Patrol officer We can’t pretend this is all the result of Trump’s sloppy training. The entire agencies are rotten to the core.

Canadian company owned by an Israeli who served in the IDF selling armored vehicles to ICE agents trained by the IDF to use on American citizens.
Absolutely sickening to see Canadian company Roshel’s Senator armoured vehicles being used in ICE’s deadly attacks on Minneapolis today. The Canadian government should never have allowed this rush order to go through, but this is exactly how Canada’s arm export regime functions.

Renee Good’s last words were “It’s fine dude I’m not mad at you” and she was met with murder and “fucking bitch”. Alex Pretti’s final words were asking the woman he was defending “Are you okay?” And he was met with murder and “boo hoo”. These ghouls have no humanity, no soul
AP reports that an officer said “Boo Hoo” in response to angry protesters after a 51-year-old man was shot and killed by federal officers in Minneapolis. (apnews.com/article/immigrati…)

He said other people should respond who won’t sometimes shoot the husband and wife
This is essentially Sharia law. Husbands are allowed to beat their wives.

This is what Palestinians college students have had to deal with for decades. No matter how hard they try to better their lives, to put their heads down and study and work hard, Israel reminds them that they’ll never be free until Israeli occupation and apartheid is dismantled.
BREAKING 🇵🇸 Israeli regime forces have stormed Birzeit University (@BirzeitU) campus in the Occupied West Bank, injuring 41 students, including 9 with live bullets.

AI is being used to strip workers, women, children, artists, and communities of their autonomy. Meanwhile Mark Carneys AI Minister, is more interested in rubbing shoulders with tech billionaires than regulating. Our NDP will take on AI with people-first policy.

The US has attacked a country, kidnapped its head of state, and is seizing its oil. Trump has invoked the Monroe Doctrine. This is a moment for Canada to stand up: condemn this act of imperialism. Reject impunity and the politics of brute force.  State clearly that we will not support a US invasion in any way whatsoever – and that includes our oil companies and weapons industry. This is my position as a candidate for leader of the NDP.  Canada’s response has shown why we need the NDP: Poilievre applauds Trump. Carney's government cannot muster a single world of criticism.  Whatever you think about Maduro, Canada cannot be an accessory to this blatant violation of international law.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Government of Canada has not recognized Maduro as the legitimate "head of state" of Venezuela since 2019 because it does not believe he was legitimately chosen in a free and fair election. canada.ca/en/global-affa…
