I am following with concern the grave humanitarian situation in Yemen, particularly in the city of Taiz, where the population is suffering from a lack of food, water and medical care. I make a heartfelt appeal for hostilities to cease and for the Yemeni people and all the peoples of the region to be guaranteed the right to live in peace.

.@MarkJCarney is ecstatic today and is about to ram through the most carbon-intensive, climate-destroying projects we've seen in years.
Congratulations, @LDoerkson, on your election victory. I look forward to working with you as Premier to get more homes built, unleash our full potential as an energy superpower, and build a stronger British Columbia and a stronger Canada for all. Thank you, Premier @Dave_Eby, for your service and all we’ve accomplished together. Major infrastructure projects launched. Export markets unlocked. Jobs protected. I wish you and your family all the best in this next chapter.

Digesting #BCElection2026 & worrying about what it means for DRIPA, truth, justice and reconciliation, Indigenous land rights, & our human rights obligations. Waking up to messages like this is exactly why. We must work even harder to resist the erosion of Indigenous rights.

University students at l'École Normale supérieure have set up tutoring courses for high school students to enable them to continue carrying their demands without being penalized for their finals ❤️
🇫🇷🎒 À l’École Normale supérieure, transformée en université populaire après les blocages, des étudiants ont mis en place des cours de soutien pour les lycéens afin de leur permettre de continuer à porter leurs revendications sans être pénalisés pour leur bac ⤵️

Red alert in Salvador 🚨 🇧🇷 Bolsonaro’s allies are shutting down public bus service in order to suppress the popular vote: one of the dirtiest tricks in the authoritarian playbook.
🚨 URGENTE! A Justiça acaba de determinar a prisão do Secretário de Mobilidade de Salvador, apoiador de Bolsonaro, por reter a frota de ônibus em garagem, dificultando o transporte de eleitores. Nossa campanha recebeu relatos de práticas semelhantes na periferia de Maceió e em outras cidades. Vamos pra cima desses canalhas! Se tiverem algum relato, informem aqui para tomarmos as medidas cabíveis!

Trump told us he needed Greenland to keep China and Russia out of the Arctic Circle. Then he gave away Alaska's North Slope to Russia. Just ... invited his buddies in. ft.com/content/e9cfbfbb-e65a…

The Heritage Foundation adviser who recruited 12 bishops to pray over Trump in the Oval Office claimed a Ph.D. from an Italian university that doesn’t grant doctorates. His listed bachelor’s school is a high school. A Vatican official called the meeting an insult to Pope Leo XIV. thelettersfromleo.com/p/heri…

The Butcher of Beirut – Israel’s alternative to Netanyahu. Peter Oborne – just returned from almost a month in the Occupied Territories – came into the Double Down Newswatch studio to talk about the Israeli election, Britain’s feeble surrender to the Israelis over the consulate in East Jerusalem and the ongoing horror in the West Bank and Israeli prisons.

The hotel scandal is wild to me. not a huge amount of money at the end of the day, but absolutely brazen behaviour from Ford’s grifter MPPs. And I’m calling BS that any of these ghouls “paid it back.” Every single thing this government does is both incompetent and corrupt.
#ONpoli Stan Cho in 2019: again saying how he will treat taxpayer money with respect… before spending over $16,000 on hotel rooms 6km from his house.

I want to take a moment to honor to the last of the beautiful Orcas off the west coast. Those pods are done. There will be none to ever see on these coastlines again once the Cons and liberals get their greedy way. Its a time to reflect on other life. And to be deeply hurt. 🪶

So many conservative governments across Canada and people cannot understand why healthcare and education is fucked.
Ottawa needs to be careful, very careful.

In Paris 🇫🇷, I talked to Uber Drivers, Cafe workers, Teens, & various people in the city about the protests. Almost EVERYONE told us the same thing this man is saying. Everyone believes the police & paid agitators are the ones causing the violence in city

I know this is generally how commodities markets work (and housing has become a commodity) but when it’s explained so plainly, it really does have the shape and cadence of a scam

Canada is complicit in the US murdering 250 fisherman in the Caribbean, and are now upset that the US is patrolling Canadian waters with drones? Now you're mad that Canadian boater data is being collected? You cannot appease a facist
“This is a huge slap again to Canada on our sovereignty, and the lack of communication,” said Mike Bradley, who saw the unusual watercraft, and wondered what it was. "Sarnia Mayor Bradley raises concerns as U.S. deploys drones on Great Lakes waterways." ctvnews.ca/london/article/sa…

This is absolutely nuts and only hitting German papers so far: leaked emails show that seven politicians from Germany's far-right AfD travelled to Syria to meet with Assad regime officials... facilitated by Hezbollah AND Russian intelligence. handelsblatt.com/politik/deu…
