“Forty-eight women came forward,” one complainant in the Sloka case told me. “That should matter. An acquittal doesn’t mean nothing happened, it means the system couldn’t meet its own threshold…we have to ask whether the system is failing to recognize patterns of harm.” #onpoli
Dr. Jeffrey Sloka was acquitted on sex assault charges. Why did the criminal courts let him go free, while the College of Physicians and Surgeons found his behaviour ‘deplorable,’ Luisa D’Amato asks. therecord.com/opinion/column…

This is something I have been worrying a lot about. We have psychopaths waging this war. We have seen Netanyahu gleefully carry out a genocide in Gaza reducing it to a nuclear bomb site. Why would he not go further now in Iran? There has been absolutely no consequences for his war crimes in Gaza. Trump has only assisted them. This has got to stop. As the citizens of the world we have to stop this. They can not be allowed to carry out a nuclear strike on the millions of innocent people of Iran. These are our fellow human beings, regardless of their leaders. This is insanity.
I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation as the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran.
This is a picture of Tehran. For you uneducated, untraveled, never-served, warhawks licking your chops at the thought of bombing it. It's not some low population desert. There are families, children, family pets. Regular working class people with dreams. You're sick to want war.
Tehran is a city of nearly 10,000,000 people. Imagine nuking Washington, Berlin, Paris, London, or beyond, bombed with nuclear weapons.
I gave up my diplomatic career to leak this information. I suspended my duties so as not to be part of or a witness to this crime against humanity, in an attempt to prevent a nuclear winter before it is too late.
Yesterday, nearly ten million people protested “No Kings” in the United States. The possibility of the use of nuclear weapons must be taken very seriously. It's dangerous. Act now. Spread this message worldwide. Take the streets. Protest for our humanity and future. Only the people can stop it. History will remember us.

Avi Lewis: "When Israel commits a genocide in Gaza, we call them out. When the US and Israel start an illegal and reprehensible war against Iran that sets the world on fire, we say Canada should have absolutely no role in it whatsoever."

“I was called a terrorist yesterday, but when I came out of jail, many people embraced me, including my enemies, and that is what I tell other people who say those who are struggling for liberation in their country are terrorists.”

During the 2024 election cycle Taylor Swift stood up in front of a stadium full of fans at the Eras tour in Chicago and told them to all vote for progressive candidates who supported LGBT rights. For some reason people want to pretend that just never happened it’s super bizarre.

The living Israeli hostages held in Gaza have been freed under the first phase of Donald Trump's peace plan, alongside a Palestinian prisoner release. The deal may become a signature achievement of Trump's second term, and it could mark a strategic turning point for the Middle East time.com/7325156/trump-gaza-…

Trans people can’t “figure out how to live together” with people who don’t want them to exist. That’s not a reasonable thing to ask of them.
Keira Knightley said that before joining the voice cast of Audible's “Harry Potter: The Full Cast Audio Editions," she was "not aware" of the fan boycott of all things "Harry Potter" over J.K. Rowling's statements about the transgender community:
"You know, I think we’re all living in a period of time right now where we’re all going to have to figure out how to live together, aren’t we? And we’ve all got very different opinions. I hope that we can all find respect."

Rolling Stone on the online backlash around “The Life of a Showgirl”:
“People turn off certain parts of their brain when they hear [Taylor’s] voice […] Some of the online discourse around this album has been downright ludicrous, rooted in bad-faith misreadings of lyrics by listeners weirdly determined to paint Swift as some kind of trad-wife MAGA fanatic, despite her open support of Democratic candidates, including an endorsement of Kamala Harris just last year.”
