Last week, students at 11 campuses across Canada held actions calling on their schools to kick #RBCOffCampus until @RBC stops funding fossil fuels & the #CGL pipeline.
As long as @RBC finances climate chaos & colonial violence, they will struggle to win this generation's support

This is not ok. Invoke the 25th amendment. Impeach. Remove.
This unhinged lunatic must be removed from office.
ALT Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Immediately pause all Canadian military accords, officer exchanges, training missions, joint naval deployments & weapons sales to US military so long as this fanatic is charge

After bombing a school and massacring young girls, the war criminal in the White House is threatening genocide.
It's time to invoke the 25th Amendment. This maniac should be removed from office.

YouTube deleted all my coverage of Israeli soldiers shooting civilians, including children targeted on a live stream, along with my entire account.
No community guidelines violated & 3 separate excuses given to me. Then Google deleted my email & won’t respond to appeals.

The death of Dick Cheney, who, like Kissinger before him, never spent a day in prison for massive crimes against humanity causing the destruction of whole countries and the deaths of millions, is a symbol of the impunity that is at the root of much of the violence in our world today. Trump, Biden, Netanyahu, and countless other ruthless criminals have so deeply absorbed this lesson that they have openly perpetrated a live-streamed genocide, confident that they will never be punished. It is the duty of all decent people, if we are not to sentence the world to generations of further horrors, to hold these blood-soaked monsters accountable.

Yes, it’s only one candidate in one race. But tonight, in the largest US city, @ZohranKMamdani defeated not only the former Governor, but also the most powerful and nefarious political forces in the country, tens of millions of dollars in anti-Zohran spending, an unprecedented campaign of racist and Islamophobic attacks, lies, and smears, the billionaire oligarchs, the real estate lobby, the Zionist lobby, the Wall Street robber barons, the corrupt Democrat and Republican parties, the super pacs, corporate media, and the US President, proving that the rapid US slide into fascism is not inevitable, the empire is not invulnerable, and it is not too late to fight back. This is what they feared most. Congratulations to Zohran. Now it’s time for millions across the country to pick up the torch.

Israeli soldiers are now regularly and systematically massacring Palestinians at their "aid" sites. They do it nearly every day and more than 400 people have now been murdered this way. It is sincerely one of the most evil things I have ever seen.

Gaza death toll close to 400k.
A number of us have been warning of this all along. It is a holocaust, the White Empire's holocaust.
The US, UK, EU, & Canada are all complicit. They have forfeited any future role and influence in international rule setting and enforcement.

Dear PM Carney, Canada is bound by UN Charter & cannot attack or threaten to attack another sovereign country like Iran.
Israel violated UN Charter when it pre-emptively & illegally attacked Iran. Israel has been claiming Iran is close to nuclear weapons for decades. The most reliable reports suggest it's Israel with nuclear weapons. Keep in mind, Israel is the one that has not signed non-proliferation treaty.
Canada cannot engage in or support lawlessness. Please don't create grave risk to innocent civilians in the middle east (or here at home) by supporting or acting in concert with US & Israel's illegal attacks on Iran (or Israel's ongoing genocide & illegal occupation in Palestine).
Canada must stand for better than following an unstable, war-mongering US President into war - the same President that is in a trade war with Canada & the rest of the world. If you are going to lead the allies, lead them into peace & prioritize human rights, climate action, respect for international law & a safe, sustainable, Indigenous-rights respecting economy that supports everyone.

Iran’s nuclear programme is a grave threat to international security, and Canada has been consistently clear that Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon.
While U.S. military action taken last night was designed to alleviate that threat, the situation in the Middle East remains highly volatile. Stability in the region is a priority.
Canada calls on parties to return immediately to the negotiating table and reach a diplomatic solution to end this crisis. As G7 leaders agreed in Kananaskis, the resolution of the Iranian crisis should lead to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza.

I cant believe this is really happening everyday and no one is moving a finger to stop it!

The Constitution is clear: Congress holds the sole power to authorize offensive military action.
The American people do not want another forever war, and the Trump admin does not have the authority to pull us into one. I'm co-sponsoring this resolution to prevent that outcome.
I just introduced an Iran War Powers Resolution with @RepRoKhanna to prohibit U.S. involvement in the Israel-Iran war.
This is not our war. Even if it were, Congress must decide such matters according to our Constitution.

Things that have been normalised:
- Killing children
- Killing journalists
- Killing medics
- Killing aid workers
- Starving people to death
- "Aid massacres"
The world doesn't turn back from here.
This is now our reality.

Starving people in a concentration camp, then letting tiny amount of food in, then shooting hundreds of desperate people dead when they try to get the food—it’s the most sick, evil shit many have ever seen. We see what’s happening and will never look at things the same way again.

If Bill C-2 passes, RCMP and CSIS can secretly compel any service providers and their referrals including doctors, banks, landlords, even therapists - to disclose information about Canadians without a warrant or judicial oversight based only on vague "reasonable grounds". 2/

The area in Tehran that Israel is saying they’re about to bomb is where my uncle and aunt live. It’s a densely-populated area of homes.
Israel has normalized attacking civilians and destroying homes because world “leaders” did nothing. Just total impunity for a genocidal state.

Hi everyone. Reactivating twitter to share this
I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA at the end of last week because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests
I arrived back in Melbourne on Sat 6am and had my phone handed back to me upon landing
Michelle Marcus retweeted
This is insane. European leaders are lying to you. Israel perpetrated an unprovoked attack, a war of aggression by criminals wanted by the ICC, while simultaneously committing a genocide. It is Israel and its Western backers that are the main source of regional instability.

Canadian officials must press for Manuel’s release
Update: The lead organizer for the Canadian delegation of the @globalmarchgaza has been arrested, and his whereabouts remain unknown.
Manuel Tapial was detained and arrested by police alongside another person at their hotel over 11 hours ago at approximately 4pm local time.

Sanctions are urgently needed to force Israel to end its illegal attacks on Iran and its genocide in Gaza. Join 12,000+ Canadians in demanding that @MarkJCarney and @AnitaAnandMP follow through with sanctions on Israel: cjpme.org/tell_carney_to_san…
