If only Carney had the courage to say something like this on behalf of Canadians...

Prime Minister Sanchez of Spain:
“Because the question is not whether or not we are in favour of the Ayatollahs. No one is. Certainly not the Spanish people and of course not the Spanish government. The question, rather, is whether or not, we are on the side of international law and therefore, of peace.”

instead we get waffling and backtracking.

Trump keeps insisting that his endorsements automatically dictate the results of elections, especially in Republican primaries.

And reality keeps telling a very different story.

Trump’s endorsement isn’t nearly as potent as he likes to pretend

The president keeps insisting that his endorsements automatically dictate the results of elections, but reality keeps telling a very different story.

Once Israel and the U.S. launched their war on Iran, Israel closed the crossings into Gaza and cut off all aid. Palestinians in the Strip now fear a return to famine amid food shortages and soaring prices.

This is what the US looks like to the rest of the world.

Breaking | Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian praised Spain’s stance opposing the blatant human rights violations and ongoing military aggression carried out by a “criminal coalition,” stating that Spain’s position proves moral conscience still exists in the West.

NEW: A group of hacktivists calling themselves "Department of Peace" claims to have hacked an office wihin the Department of Homeland Security.

The hacktivists leaked data on more than 6,000 contracts between DHS and ICE and private companies to the transparency website Distributed Denial of Secrets.

🚨 My father needs your help

His medication is about to run out, and missing even a single dose could be dangerous for his health.
I need to raise $200 to buy his medicine. Any amount, no matter how small, will help keep him stable.

Help Sehwel family with their medical treatment

I'm Joe in the UK, I've been in touch with Aseel from the Sehwel family for over a year now and have been following their difficult struggle to afford medication, shelter and food in Gaza. I'm creating this Chuffed campaign for the family to help afford these things and hopefully help them get out of Gaza when the opportunity arises. Here's Aseel's writing:

Chuffed
Admissions so far: 1) They were lying abt threat from Iran. 2) They were lying about good faith of negotiations. 3) They begged UK for help immediately (and Ukraine offered needed expertise). 4) They're escalating on Day Two.

#Denver #Colorado becomes the latest city to ban masks on law enforcement, including #DHS. Now they did this in LA months ago, and the LAPD has not enforced it. This could be different, though. The Denver police chief has said his officers will protect citizens from #ICE using excessive force. We will see how this goes.

Regardless, pressure matters. Seeing more and more resistance is exacting a toll on the Nazis. These are not brave people.
