    Instead of spending money to provide homeless people with shelter, Waterloo region water close to $2 million in costly legal fees attempting to enforce its hateful encampment eviction bylaws, and still lost the case. There are short and long term solutions to homelessness if our politicians just ceased their hate-on for poor people. #Kitchener #Waterloo #Homelessness #MunicipalElection2026 #Ontario

    &amp;quot;The state of Israel is committed to the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. These are facts. The question now is, so what do we do those facts?&amp;quot; - Tareq Baconi, author &amp;quot;There is no good version of the project. Like there was no good slavery. Just like there was no good segregation.&amp;quot; - Ta-Nehisi Coates, author Landmark conversation between Coates, Baconi and Nesrine Malik at London&amp;#39;s Southbank Centre last week.

    Lubna Speitan, British-Palestinian author of the Green Party motion “Zionism is racism”, spells out the central obscenity of our age – the grotesque inversion whereby the Palestinian victims of ethnic cleansing, apartheid and genocide must constantly fend off accusations from their zionists tormentors that it is they who are the racists. #Palestine #Genocide #Israel #Britain #GreenParty

    One of the Serbian student organizers who helped overthrow the corrupt, fascist 14 yr government of Aleksandar Vučić, said this last year: &amp;quot;&amp;quot;This isn&amp;#39;t just about Vučić. We&amp;#39;re protesting to build a new system that won&amp;#39;t allow this scale of corruption again. We&amp;#39;ve archived everything we&amp;#39;ve done how we made decisions, organized logistics, built support so others can replicate it. We want everyone, from communities to factory workers, t...

    Researchers in Japan from the RIKEN Pioneering Research Institute and the Institute of Science Tokyo, have developed an experimental technique that tricks cancer cells into producing a toxin that kills them from the inside. Lab tests revealed that normal cells were left unharmed. Cancer cells naturally produce an excess amount of carbon monoxide gas compared to healthy cells. The peer-reviewed findings were published in Nature Communications (Volume 17, Article 9603) on September 17, 2026....

    There&#39;s a giant NDA up as a Nuit Blanche art installation, calling out the silencing of curators and artists who&#39;ve spoken critically of Israel. It&#39;s in the alley off Spadina south of Richmond leading to Cinecycle. By No Arms in the Arts.

    &quot;I never again want to hear of the Jewish state or of the state of Israel. For me it&#39;s the Zionist state, based on a colonial, racist, apartheid, criminal, and ultimately genocidal ideology. I say this as a Jew.&quot; - Moni Ovadia, Italian author and activist

    Pretty sure we would not be struggling with the scourge of Zionism today if Roosevelt and Churchill had not been a couple of white supremacists. Historian John Broich explains how the racism of those two leaders went a long way to shape the world that we inherited and live in today. #WW2 #FDR #WinstonChurchill #WhiteSupremacy

    Fantastic piece from the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust about the return from the brink of extinction of Ithumba&#39;s Wild Dogs! &quot;Each individual coat pattern is completely distinct, but collectively, their colours allow them to blend as one with the bush. To their prey, the pack in pursuit must be a chilling sight indeed — as though the landscape has sprung to life in an amorphous force, snapping at their heels.&quot; #Africa #Wildlife #WildDogs #Nature #Animals https://mailchi.mp/sheldrick...

    Happy Stanislav Petrov Day! Many people have received the Nobel Peace Prize for doing a lot less than him. On this day 43 years ago, Stanislav Petrov was a lieutenant colonel in the Soviet military, the commanding officer of a USSR nuclear early warning site. On Sept. 26th 1983, he watched in disbelief as the monitoring software showed that the US had launched 5 nuclear missiles. Why would America send 5 missiles when they had thousands? It didn’t add up. Petrov stayed calm. His job was to...

    📍 Jalpaiguri, Bengal A baby elephant was swept away from its mother while trying to cross the swollen Teesta River in India. Fishermen spotted its trunk above the water and chased it for nearly 4 km against the powerful current before pulling the exhausted calf to safety. Then, after a two-hour search, they found the mother. She rushed to her baby, took it back and began nursing it.

    Respect to our Jewish brothers and sisters who refuse to be complicit in Israel&#39;s crimes. &quot;Zionism is a political project that shrinks Jewish identity into a violent regime.&quot; #Zionism #Judaism #Israel #WarCrimes #Genocide #Palestine

    The cost of living crisis is not a ‘crisis’, it’s a transfer of wealth. Prices didn’t rise because life got harder — they rose because capitalists used Covid as an excuse to hike them and now we&#39;re paying their excess profits forever, all while our politicians look the other way. #Inflation #Prices #CostOfLiving

    Broadway actress Allie Trimm, who recently starred as Glinda in the hit Broadway show &quot;Wicked,&quot; is calling out the show&#39;s producer, Marc Platt, for censoring everyone who spoke out in support of Palestine. “I was told verbatim if I talk about this then I won’t work again and that the show can create any rationale to justify those choices to not work with me.” See her full statement on IG: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdVM1n0hkjJ/ #Zionists #Israel #Genocide #Palestine #Broadwa...

    The West has dehumanized Palestinians to such a degree that simply advocating for their liberation from apartheid and occupation is described as “hurtful” to the people who want their oppression to continue. By not taking sides Ed Sheeran has sided with the oppressors. Respect for Macklemore, Free Palestine 🇵🇸
