Watching genocide unfold live: we know what is happening & can act. We're on the verge of a holocaust: more than half of people in Gaza are currently being starved.
Waterloo Region hosts weapons companies/manufacturers aiding genocide - we must act now to stop this genocide.
According to Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, the genocidal Israeli regime has now killed more than 10,000 infants and children since the start of its attack on the Gaza Strip on 7 October.

Western media: “What could the 'Houthis' possibly want?”
Yemenis: “Stop bombing us. Stop besieging us.”
Western media: “Their motives remain unclear.”

Oh well then.
NEW: A newly declassified report reveals that the CIA was actively involved in resettling Nazis in Canada and that a leading CIA officer in charge of resettlement operations was later the CIA’s representative in Ottawa.

Why would a school board supervisor meet with concerned parents when they can meet with… *checks notes*… real estate developers?
TDSB supervisor’s calendar shows more than twice as many meetings with $20B real estate arm as parent groups thetrillium.ca:443/news/educ…

The Saudis broke the ceasefire in the first place and attacked the Houthis in a Yemeni airport. Condemnation only goes one way with this government
The Houthi attacks on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and in particular the strike on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, are abhorrent.
There can be no justification for attacks on civilian infrastructure. No political or military objective can justify the deliberate targeting of innocent people.
Canada condemns these reckless acts of violence in the strongest possible terms. We extend our deepest condolences to the families of those killed and wish a full recovery to those injured.

The con-man Mark Carney told the Davos crowd that his government would apply the same standards to allies and rivals.
Carney has not uttered a peep of criticism of Saudi attacks on Yemen, which have killed vastly more civilians than Ansar Allah has killed.
Not one peep.

A reminder that OpenAI’s Sam Altman’s sister is suing him for sexual abuse. We hardly hear about it since violence against women is not only tolerated but a predatory, ritualistic ethos of male success

Protests that started in Spain and then spread to France and Brazil have now started in Belgium.
People are sick of being told there is 'no money' by billionaires who are becoming trillionaires.

Do not keep quoting International law when Israel hasn’t signed on to be subjected to most of them.
And don’t selectively ignore the rulings which have reaffirmed Palestine’s right to ARMED resistance.
Centrists waiting for court rulings to liberate us from imperialism.

Love how Israeli media is openly like "yes, we run torture camps" and Western media is like "nah, no you don't."
Thousands are held in Israeli torture camps. This is what happens inside haaretz.com/israel-news/isra…

Gaza is the laboratory for so many of the evils exported to the rest of the world
Coming soon to a school near you: AI monitoring of classrooms for signs of “antisemitism”
A U.S. charity in Gaza is worried that teachers at its schools might stray from a curriculum it says promotes peace and tolerance, so it plans to record classroom conversations and use artificial intelligence to flag speech deemed “hateful” or “inciting.” apnews.com/article/gaza-chil…

The uber-zionist con-man, Mark Carney, has issued a statement condemning the Hamas attacks of October 7, but I guarantee you that will issue no statement condemning three years of genocide by the child-murdering Israeli regime.

A thousand people protest in a socialist country, and Western media screams, “Communism has failed.” Two hundred thousand protest in capitalist France, and not one of them dares to ask whether capitalism is the problem.

Looking at what’s happening across Latin America, you can see exactly why states like China and the DPRK reject social democracy and function the way they do. A genuine socialist government can't survive when it's being constantly pressured by imperialist interference. Social democracy doesn't have the structural defences to stop fascism; it compromises too much and ends up paving the way for it. Castro and Chávez understood this too. They knew that open, relaxed systems are way too vulnerable to economic sabotage and coups, which is why they argued that you need a strong, unified revolutionary state to fight back.

Yet again, Mark Carney has proven himself to be a con-man, a fraud and a snivelling vassal of Washington.

This is where social democracy fails. Electoralism isn't some neutral terrain where the working class can contend with the capitalists on equal footing. As long as the institutional and political power of the capitalists is left unbroken, they will always win sooner or later.
