Sad truth: they are indeed trying to use the exact same playbook to manufacture consent for this war. Uplifting truth: there wasn't social media then. Public response to this is SO MUCH different than back then. Don't underestimate how important it is that they can't control the narrative now.

When I returned from #GlobalMarchToGaza, a handful of community members surprised me with a welcome back home - with Palestinian flags, watermelon balloons, and chanting “Free free Palestine!” As we left the airport, bystanders smiled and thanked us. The tide is clearly changing.

Y'all are going to have to realize that using the word felon as an insult doesn't do what you think it does. Most people in for felonies are not dangerous or bad, they just got caught on the wrong side of a fucked up set of laws. Many/most with felonies are decent, if unlucky, folks in your class.

I was imagining today what the world would be like if there were no borders at all. If hoarding wealth was so looked down upon that no one even thought of it. If those who were able took care of those who were not. If all the good things we imagine we want for ourselves, we made sure everyone had.

Trump's bombing of Iran serves no larger political or security purpose. He just didn't want to look like a loser as he was goaded by the war criminal Netanyahu. Canada must separate ourselves from the reckless violence of the gangster regime in Washington.

Netanyahu has suckered the United States into a dangerous war with Iran. It is all about distracting us from the death camp that is Gaza. Israel is committing mass crimes against humanity. The world has gone along for the ride and now we are seeing the dangerous results of unchecked criminality.

An update - I want to let you know that Manuel Tapial has been released from detainment and questioning by the Egyptian authorities, after over 24 hours since his initial arrest by plain-clothed police. He was deported from the airport in Cairo, and is on his way back to Canada.

I received this message after the political assassinations in Minnesota. Many people have encouraged me to contact the RCMP. But I've been through the routine many times. Nothing happens. I'll just add it to my extensive file of stupid haters. They are cowards. I carry on.

The Canada Disability Benefit Application is finally coming out on the 20th of June. But we know that isn't going to be soon enough for things to roll out in July and so many of our community members are being left behind. 1/2

This morning, I joined NDP colleagues @loriidlout.bsky.social and @alexboulerice.bsky.social writing to the Liberal House Leader to stop fast-tracking Bill C-5 without the scrutiny it deserves.

This Liberal Government announced the Canada Disability Benefit would be open for applications in June for delivery in July. It’s already June 13th and Persons Living With A Disability are still waiting. #FIXIT #canada #healthcare #disabilityadvocate #disabilityawareness #disabilityrights

The Liberals are bulldozing Bill C-5 through Parliament — and the Conservatives are helping them do it. When the two largest parties team up to silence debate and block scrutiny to hand unchecked powers to Cabinet, it’s a serious concern for all of us.

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

Investigations are now underway into officers and ICE agents who fired crowd-control munitions at dangerously close range. In case after case, the situation only escalated when force was used against peaceful protesters.
