I am not sure why Israelis are pretending anything is going to change under new leadership. Trying to give people the impression something will is strange because we have the internet.

Next week is Israelโ€™s election ๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ and the choices are grim. As Carneyโ€™s government continues to keep the state close, here is a run down of the state of their politics.

If Carney were actually for a properly democratic Canada, he would break up foreign media ownership. A democracy must preserve at least its own news media from local to national newspapers, radio, and tv/video. Foreign control should never have been legal in the first place. #CdnPoli #CanPoli

โ€œThe biggest lie in Canadian politics is that the mainstream media is โ€˜left-wing.โ€™ Conservative-backed, U.S. hedge-fund-owned outlets dominate Canadian news and endorse the CPC election after election. โ€œThe media isnโ€™t biased against Pierre Poilievre โ€” it tried to get him elected.โ€

AI is telling Toronto voters that this claim is overblown. AI should never be relied upon for legal or election advice. #topoli

Multiple lawyers, including renowned Joel Bakan, confirm that the Bradford plan to commercialize water in Toronto very much opens the door to privatization: www.thestar.com/news/gta/cit.... Shrill denials from Bradford and his billionaire backers are a clear tell. #toronto #canlab

๐Ÿ“ŒThere's no way all this is just some damn coincidence: 1. Ukraine whacks Russia. 2. Lindsey Graham leads bipartisan efforts hitting Russia w/ more sanctions. 3. Graham suddenly drops dead. (Like so many of Putin's enemies.) 4. Trump immediately cancels sanctions, and buys Russian diesel. <more>

The people organized and came out to defeat the far right in Brazil. This election is an incredible example of how grassroots democratic action can beat the oligarchs, the tech bros and the far right. I love the Swifties for Lula youth contingent.

Brazilians understood what the Meta algorithm was doing to democracy and Lula called it out, and students called each other away from their online timelines, and Brazil ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท beat technofascism. There is a lesson in there for Canada ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ.

We are making the oil oligarchs rich. We are making Trump and his cronies rich. It is literally at our expense every day. Thereโ€™s no trickling down happening. And Trump is bragging about it knowing nobody in the Republican Party will stand up to him and say enough.

Carneyโ€™s world tour - 26 foreign visits in his first year, twice as much time abroad as his predecessor - included much widely touted non-binding discussion of trade, but almost no actual signed agreements. What stands out is forging closer ties with rights-abusers. 2/ thehub.ca/2026/03/11/m...

People tend to think women are hysterical alarmists and those of us brave enough to warn people are continually met with a level of disrespect that very few of us bother anymore. Then when the thing we have warned about happens, men insist they knew all along and there was nothing anyone could do.

You really believes Jeffries would allow this after taking all of this money from Elon? Does he plan to give it back? I think this is going to be a fake investigation, where Ds pretend that they are fighting as hard as they can, but ultimately let Elon slide. readsludge.com/2025/02/24/d...

Elon Muskโ€™s net worth is approximately the national net worth of the entire Philippines. This is both appalling and also, if I was the Philippines, I probably wouldnโ€™t declare war on the US government. Have fun bucko

In the bedrock of my soul I know he started out thinking the press pool was a literal pool and has been seething with disappointment since he discovered the mistake

President Trump has pushed to move briefings out of the White House press room. Aides say he wants an indoor swimming pool instead. nyti.ms/4eoW3AV

thereโ€™s no middle ground position on this. either musk is forcibly rooted out of government infrastructure or every war proceeds at the whims and dictates of a generational buffoon
