Israel has today announced it is once again openly violating international law and resuming genocide against Palestinians by blocking the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza. How will we respond? I hope differently than what we've seen over the last 17 months. www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

Last year #Niagara Police went up to Toronto to support the "Walk With Israel," the biggest such event outside Israel. (From their 2024 annual report on the "Public Order Units")

While Trump claims credit for "ending" the war his envoy is helping Israel break the ceasefire and make things worse for Palestinians www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/3/...

While many in UK deny it is #racist the UK goverment is using #racism as a selling point to keep Albanians away

In western Saudi Arabia when KFC is next to Al Baik the KFC is always dead, people wait for hours in the hot sun to get Al Baik. Here's why! www.youtube.com/watch?v=brFk...

I voted on the issue of #Palestine today, so that's a vote you could have had, those who sided with genocide and colonization because they thought it was more popular.

Doing a few Election Day media hits today! The first is on CBC Radio's Here and Now at 3:45, talking about barriers to voting for homeless folks and what our recent @ocrhp.bsky.social campaign has been up to!

Palestine IS a provincial election issue! See where #Niagara candidate stand on Palestine issues in the #Ontario election such as income and OHIP support for Palestinian refugees, BDS, lifting the "keffiyeh ban," Anti-Palestinian Racism in Ontario's curriculum, and more.

Even though rebel govt told Israel it will kick out resistance groups, Israel destroyed what was Syrian Arab Air Force and Navy and is grabbing more Arab lands. This is why there is resistance and why overthrowing resistance govts won't bring peace but more colonial wars of conquest and catastrophe.

#Niagara Transit claims to be saving money through through merging private contracts but it's just handing over power to corporations to squeeze more from @atulocal846 drivers and riders with disabilities who are being shut out of the region. Transit should be public not profit!

Hundreds of Palestinians held in Israeli jails released in Gaza as part of the ceasefire agreement once again showed signs of emaciation and abuse. Read here: aje.io/y4xup8

Last night #NiagaraFalls was lit in the colours of Palestinian flag. (for Kuwait but the colours are the same Arab national colours) Something #Niagara Regional Council was too scared to do after having done this for #Ukraine, but no harm came from it after all. (1st pic IG @booksarenotenough)

While Musk-endorsed fascists came 2nd in the German election, the Left Party came first in Berlin by becoming left again: real rent control and being pro-immigrant, unlike the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) that broke from them to attack immigrants under a left-wing cover. (From Victor Grossman)

Tonight #NiagaraFalls was lit in the colours of the Palestinian flag. (for Kuwait but the colours are the same Arab national colours) Something #Niagara Regional Council was too scared to do after having done this for #Ukraine, but no harm came from it after all.

Some #Niagara ridings might have more than one Conservative candidate! A donation is not throwaway money, it's a serious political commitment.

We've seen this "everything is on the table" movie before, a reckless march of military escalation into World War III when the majority wants peace not more wars globalnews.ca/news/1103228...

Too right AOC!

Tuesday Feb 25 at 10pm Niagara Falls lit in #Palestine colours for 15 minutes (well, for Kuwait but same colours) Bring flags and signs and take a picture!

Double standards to #Palestinian #Gaza refugees compared to others, by both #Canada and #Niagara Regional Council www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

As a former central banker (in two governments!) Mark Carney should know a government is not like a small business or a household, they can do exactly what the other two can't: spend based on need, not bank account.

Instead of defending immigrants UK Labour is cracking down on them Trump-style to lean into xenophobia instead of standing up to it www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor reports that the terrible health conditions in which many Palestinians were released from Israeli prisons indicate a pattern of systematic torture and abuse until the very last moments. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/ak1znz

Trump's deal with Eric Adams is letting him go to crack down on immigrants. Nixon's Saturday-night-massacre-style resignations until they found someone at DOJ who would go along with it. slate.com/news-and-pol...

YES! Kenya already won reparations, CARICOM is asking for it too, and California and LA are finally looking at it. ""It is about... ensuring future generations inherit a world that acknowledges their past and propels them towards a brighter future."" www.reuters.com/world/africa...

We've seen this movie before with the Bush Administration (Baby Doc not Papa Doc) and their invasion of Iraq (and Afghanistan), how did that turn out? #DOGE

"Jews say NO to ethnic cleansing! We’re proud to see so many members of the JVP Rabbinical Council represented among the 350 rabbis who took out this full-page ad in the New York Times today, using their voices in this moment to oppose Trump’s plans for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza."

SexPlus Week is recognized in Canada from February 10 to 16, raising awareness about sexual health to combat the spread of sexually transmitted infections. Canada as a whole has seen a rise in documented STI cases, but one region stands out among the rest.

Post-Mugabe Zim govt caving to Trump pre-emptively paying off white farmers after #LandBack who now live in Europe. Trump turning back clock decades but not just him, leaders of colonized lands caving in from Colombia to Zim (& Canada!). Mugabe would not have caved! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJ5F...

The blockade's noose tightens back as payment processors are on the list of sanctioned entities, something that Biden continued until his last days and could have undone much earlier. Trump is continuing what Biden allowed to continue from Trump earlier. resumen-english.org/2025/02/us-r...

Marx said everything in history happens twice: first as tragedy, then as farce. But maybe the Ontario election has this reversed: first the farce, then the tragedy. Clipped from a Conservative Party of #Ontario provincial #election ad for the #Niagara Region

The Pointer coverage of #Niagara Police finally moving on body cams after earlier saying they needed provincial directive first, which Region and #StCatharines Councillors bought into and repeated when they voted against recommending them thepointer.com/article/2025...

Finally moving in the direction of a negotiated peace instead of reckless military escalation promoted by the war hawks in NATO countries like Canada kyivindependent.com/ukraine-war-...

Sunday Time suvery on Gen Z showing on 20 yrs ppl have woken to the truths about white supremacy, immigration, and the police

Afriforum, Afrikaaner pressure group, lied that white South Africans are oppressed, behind Trump's claim they are refugees, but now say life in SA better for them than US. MK Party congratulated Trump as a "beacon of hope." Real Land grabs were by white colonizers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOiW...

"The forthcoming liberation of Marineland's marine mammals comes after years of impending closure rumours, protests, petitions, animal welfare investigations and even actual criminal convictions for animal cruelty." www.blogto.com/sports_play/...

Interview w Dr. Ndlozi post-EFF (1) Vote drop from entangling w other forces which he opposed, so claim he's w them "Biblical absurdity" (2) but going to MK not betrayal bc on same side of picket line (3) EFF made #LandBack mainstream (4) EFF still force for good www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se8q...

Even Zelensky said what anti-war activists been saying: no military solution, need negotiations. Now ex-spox in op-ed, interview says majority support peace even if give up land as 1st step Don't listen to hawks promoting death, destruction. time.com/7210702/ukra... www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhsA...
