No closure for Israel, even without this excuse anymore they will still keep up the siege, starvation and killing policy of genocide against Gaza, and still with support from 🇨🇦 because why?
Nearly two and a half years after the horrific October 7 terrorist attack by Hamas, the remains of the last hostage, Ran Gvili, were finally returned. We hope that this will offer a measure of closure to his loved ones.

It kinda makes me wonder if people speak out to gain social acceptance?
Pretty much everyone on IG who has been carefully quiet about politics is speaking out.
It’s. Weird.
I’m not on there all that much, but I think people have finally been given social permission to say the uncomfortable thing.
I think they realize not speaking up will be read as acceptance.

For the new and preexisting fans of Carney - and also for those who oppose him - look at this graph of the cuts by Trump.
Then realize that some of the new public service cuts by Carney - to institutions like Health Canada and Statistics Canada - are well over 10%, getting close to Trump territory.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Over 130 actions in cities across the country, all organized in the past week.

Tell that to the families of 850 soldiers from 19 non-US NATO countries who died fighting to defend the United States in Afghanistan - the only occasion Article 5 was ever triggered.
