Five years after detaining and threatening to arrest a Gitxsan reporter at a Wet’suwet’en land dispute, the RCMP apologizes | @karynpugliese.bsky.social

Terrible reporting from #CBC. Israel has been violating ceasefire by not allowing promised aid in "Hamas's threat to hold off from releasing more hostages followed its accusation that Israel had blocked tents and temporary shelter materials...Israel rejected the accusation" www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7460415

Dear Elon, we’re out. The Tyee will no longer be posting to X (formerly Twitter) and we’ve removed the X sharing buttons from our stories. Here’s why.

Pete Marocco, designated by Marco Rubio to head USAID, was a participant in the insurrection of Jan 6.

And there it is. The Department of Justice has frozen all case activity in the civil rights division. This is the mechanism of enforcement for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and so much more.

It will be easy to fall into a pattern of dunking & reacting in these times. Performing disapproval can be a consuming pastime & it is not enough. Refuse to abandon vulnerable people. Build a rebellious culture of care. If you need help, @prisonculture.bsky.social and I wrote a book to assist you.
