Way too many people still think that whatever happens to people as a result of American imperialism abroad *cough Palestine Sudan Congo cough* is acceptable, fine even, not our problem, as long as the lesser evil wins in the United States.

And it's not. I'm sorry. It's just not.

The UK prime minister was between the two men while this was going on and as usual looked like he wished he could be unborn.

The US president called the Canadian prime minister "president" and asked where he was, and the prime minister president who was on stage with the real president had to raise his hand like he was in an elementary school class. I am not making this up.

Is writing "lethal kinetic strike" a vile old man's substitute for having topless teens on his lap?

Our public broadcaster is rotten.

All of the Israelis held by Hamas are called “hostages,” including the IDF soliders.

All the Palestinians released, though, are “prisoners,” including the many victims of Israel’s widespread arbitrary detention - meaning they are legally innocent, detained without charge or conviction.

Disgusting.

Late in life, I just realized the salute is an erection. Perhaps Nazi wishful thinking.

Canada has an obligation under the Genocide Convention and domestic law to prevent genocide. All Canadians must grapple with the fact that we failed in our duty to do so. #cdnpoli

One thing to keep in mind about Trump invading Canada, if they win, they'll make us have Thanksgiving in November when the weather is miserable.

One thing for them to keep in mind is that the last time they did it, in the 19th century, Brits pretending to be Canadians burned down The White House.

There's much to support here but, rather than be sent to Hague, those who have committed #genocide, armed it or otherwise made it possible, should face justice before a court that is convened in a #freePalestine.

Their work highlighted the harsh realities of the aggression and the risks journalists face on the front lines."

I don't know why Canada stole Thanksgiving from the US and has it a month ahead of them, but the how is easy: Americans occupied with the notion that other people don't quite exist didn't notice.
