Can I please ask any of you who reads this to please have this story in mind, to not pass it by: Toomaj Salehi is a rapper who stood for all of us. He is perhaps the bravest person in Iran. Stand up for him. Organize and join protests in front of Iranian embassies & consulates.

This woman introduced an amendment with the word 'Transcarpathia' in it yesterday. I've sat across a hearing room from her for long enough to know she couldn't spell that word before this week, let alone find it on a map. We all know what's going on here.

People of Iran do not want war against Israel. We have absolutely no reason to be in conflict with Israel and, having seen the worst of war from 1980 to 1988, we don't want it to repeat. War will only benefit Khamenei and his regime. Stop the escalations! Find an off-ramp now!
Oof
I listened with interest to the interview of the famous Slovenian philosopher, cultural critic, psychoanalyst of the Lacanian school Slavoj Žižek with the British TV presenter Piers Morgan. He explains what makes Putin dangerous. What do you think about this video?
Total charade; Putin's "election" -- really just a re-coronation of the czar -- "takes place against the backdrop of a ruthless crackdown that has crippled independent media and prominent rights groups and given Putin full control of the political system." apnews.com/article/russia…
Quite a few Americans like the idea of strongman rule. Why not a dictator who will get things done? My latest piece: "The Strongman Fantasy: And Dictatorship in Real Life" Link in image below
BREAKING: ABC News reports that Boeing whistleblower John Barnett, who died this week, told a close family friend 'I ain't scared, but if anything happens to me, it's not suicide.'
Some people say NATO is no longer necessary while the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia stands in front of a huge map of the planned imperial conquest of Eastern Europe 🤷🏼♂️
It helps to know history. It gives you a sense of dignity and confidence amidst the propaganda of war and genocide. Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski demonstrates this here at the UN.

Putin has no intention of stopping. Those who think Minsk 3 would be the end of this war are showing gross naiveté, and that’s me choosing the most polite words I can. The only way to end this war is with Ukraine's outright victory, so we must come together to make that happen.
Trump: I’d encourage Russia to do whatever the hell they want to NATO allies who don’t meet 2% defense spending targets. If this doesn’t wake up European leaders still dragging their feet on arming #Ukraine & boosting 🇪🇺 defense production, nothing will.

More consistency from South Africa would be nice. Its genocide case against Israel is important for Palestinian civilians in Gaza, but why is it an apologist for the Chinese government's crimes against humanity targeting Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang? x.com/Yaqiu/status/1…

The lawyers for South Africa and Israel didn't address all the toughest evidence against them, but when you put it together, South Africa has a good chance of prevailing in its quest for provisional measures against genocide -- and saving lives. I explain: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

"The evidence of genocidal intent is not only chilling, it is also overwhelming and incontrovertible.” South African lawyer Tembeka Ngcukaitobi delivers a stirring testimony in South Africa's case against Israel for genocide in Gaza at The Hague.

I… I realised I don’t have suicidal thoughts anymore. Been a while, at least 🥹💚
Just as it's important to "be connected" and know what's going on in the world, it's equally important to be disconnected. And to be in stillness, with friends, and in peace. We cannot change anything around us if we're dysregulated and unable to cope.
We need an end to the first past the post system. What happens when an extreme minority are in control? In Alberta, it puts the most vulnerable at risk.
What Russia needs is a reckoning with its own history and a wholesale rejection of the imperial idea. But this process can only begin once Russia is defeated in Ukraine. Helping Ukraine achieve victory is arguably the most important task facing the world today. THE END
There’s a reason why the “Putin’s War” narrative promoted by Russian opposition leaders doesn’t gets much traction in Russia’s former colonies. Ukrainians, Estonians, Central Asians know that Putin is but a symptom of an old malady that Russia has yet to confront – imperialism.
