#BREAKING: “Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said Canada has suspended 30 permits for arms sales to Israel and is taking the rare step of blocking a contract with the U.S. government to send Quebec-made ammunition to Israeli Defence Forces.“
“I will not apologize for sharing publicly available information about library access with my students,” the former teacher posted on X. “My livelihood will never be as important as someone’s life or right to read what they want.”
Elisabeth Hasselback: “That’s the commander-in-chief, potentially, that’s the emotional response of the leader of the free world is to binge-eat a bag of Doritos? Are you kidding me?”
Me: [stares at the page, thinking. Is it the choice of snack? Is it because she doesn’t like Doritos? Is it because she’d rather the response be yelling, insulting people, and rage tweeting? Does Hasselback prefer alcohol and drugs?]. Yeah, I’ve got nothing.
Lots of reasons for Trump to be freaking out this week. Rally size goes to the heart of his ego, but the bigger things are the endorsements Harris/Walz have earned, of demographics he needs, now against him in states he is going to lose. Big ones.
& Culinary Union in #Nevada : “The path to victory runs through Nevada, and the Culinary Union will deliver Nevada for President Kamala Harris and Vice President Tim Walz.”
@heidilifeldman IMO from Monday to today the look behind her eyes has gone from inviting “this is what we’re fighting for” to projecting “for real, we’re going to do this”. I’d say it’s not even about confidence, it’s a look of deep seated knowledge, she sees the path. I’d suggest Obama had it late in his campaign too.
Kamala Harris is going to wipe the floor with him, and not just once, in November, but over and over before then, and I am here for it. Fingers crossed his ego leads him to agree to another debate. Buckle up.
I’m going to keep repeating this - calling right-wing extremists who are armed, organized, and threatening violence, “militias” works to their goal of establishing legitimacy. They are terrorists. Call. Them. Out.
And if you’re in media and calling them “militias”, but refer to Daesh, ISIS, Al-Qaida, or the Taliban as “terrorists”, you should really think about why that is and the bias that you’re internalizing in your work.
““Israeli” right-wing extremist and Heritage Minister, Amihai Eliyahu, called on Friday to “wipe out” the month of Ramadan, adding that “our fear of this month must also be wiped out.” …
Eliyahu, who is part of the “Jewish Power” right-wing and anti-arab fascist party, previously stated in November that “dropping a nuclear bomb on Gaza is one of the options.”
He further claimed there are “no civilians in Gaza” and rejected the entry of aid completely into the Strip.”
The number of people who believe - and unabashedly say, publicly, - “the murder of these people is okay because those other people were murdered first” is unbelievably astounding, and scary as hell.
PS - If you’re thinking of coming into my replies to justify the collective punishment and mass starvation of an entire population forcibly displaced and corralled into inhumane conditions by a state military offensive, one million humans of which are children, ONE MILLION CHILDREN, don’t.
