What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?

Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.

It undermines police and the law.

Many media outlets hid the full truth of Trump -- his background in organized crime, his Epstein ties -- out of fear, only to be obliterated by him in the end. Had they not self-censored then, they might not be state-censored now. When you hide the truth, you face the consequences.

Instead of recognizing Israel’s genocide in Gaza & upholding its commitment to the International Humanitarian Law & Genocide Convention, Canada banned artists who speak the truth to the power & labeled them as “supporting terrorist organizations”.
Instead of sanctioning the actual terrorists.

Three days after the UN inquiry declares "genocide" in Gaza the Carney government says they are still waiting for "all the evidence" before taking a stand.

there weren’t any witches either; still, many accused “witches” died terrible deaths.
It needs to be understood very clearly that there is no such organization as "antifa" in the United States. Trump is inventing out of whole cloth an organization to create a moral hysteria. The danger is that he's now able to designate any and all protest organizations as belonging to "antifa."

It's easy to scoff at Trump designating as a "terrorist organization" something that's not an *organization* at all.

I have different view.

When you declare an idea rather than an organization to be terrorism, you can declare *anyone* a terrorist.

And that is what he will do.

This is horrifying.

Why is there no discussion in the US government about why we are spending billions of taxpayer dollars starving children in Gaza?
