I am *entirely* siding with the TTC union, they deserve all they are asking for + more. I hope they make out like bandits, bc its a hard job that only got harder through the pandemic. #solidarity

the speaker is French MP @alma_dufour
here is an English dub
at the end, where the dub stops, she says:
"Rafah is not just a border, but a mirror”
"If you don't do it [impose a trade embargo on Israel and call for peacekeepers] my question, Mr.
Prime Minister, is how will you be able to look at yourself in the mirror?"
What an amazing life, and what an incredible contribution to Canada and the world Ed Broadbent made. Grateful, too, for his most recent book documenting a lifetime's worth of engagement with ideas and the ideal of social democracy – something we can carry with us now. RIP
It is with the heaviest of hearts that the Broadbent Institute announces the passing of our founder, Ed Broadbent.

It's really striking how little attention is given in American media to the criticisms Israeli hostages and hostage families have made of Netanyahu.

a lot of people seem so shocked and betrayed by the fact that not everyone believes arab and muslim people are inherently destined for war... that these children aren't the "children of darkness"... and that each and every life - even a brown life - is an entire world

I was working @nytimes on The Daily in May 2021 when Israel began another deadly bombing of Gaza
While recording the show, I pushed back, called out the wishy washy pro-Israeli slant. In response, an editor outright said “you shouldn’t work on this bc you’re Palestinian” 🧵
In their first broadcast interview since being forced out of @NYTmag for signing an open letter condemning Israel's siege on Gaza, award-winning writers @jazzedloon and @jamiekeiles speak out about their decisions to leave the publication.

.@BeccaBalintVT has joined the call for ceasefire: the first Jewish member of Congress to do so.
Thank you Rep. Balint for bravely joining tens of thousands of #JewsForCeasefire across the country. Time for other Jewish members of Congress to follow her lead.
In her own words:
ALT I’m one generation removed from the horrific trauma of the Holocaust, which impacted my family and reshaped the world. Like me, there are thousands of American Jews that share a deep emotional connection to Israel because of what it meant for the survival of the Jewish people in the face of extermination. This same history also drives so many of us to fight for the protection of Palestinian lives. I do not claim to know how to solve every aspect of this decades-long conflict. But what I do know is that killing civilians, and killing children, is an abomination and categorically unacceptable — no matter who the civilians are, and no matter who the children are.

We interrupt this public mood of denial: Although many Canadians act as though the pandemic has ended, #COVID19 continues to evolve at an amazing pace with devastating consequences.

Isr*el press is publishing horrific images of crimes against humanity by its soldiers: torture, brutality and even an army bulldozer deliberately running over a Palestinian man.
I don’t know if their publication demonstrates a sense of impunity or they are archiving evidence

Journalist @samhusseini just put a Pentagon spokesman on notice that he and other Biden administration officials face prosecution of war crimes and genocide.
