མི་ནག་ཚེས་སྲོག་རྩ་ཆེན། this was my attempt at trying to translate “Black Lives Matter” in Tibetan. it actually says “Black lives are precious.” tried to strike that balance between being accurate in translation but also achieving resonance in Tibetan (in my view).

Russian and Belorussian hockey players can’t come play in Canada but dual citizenship IDF soldiers can roam freely and get an iced latte with no issue
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney delivers a blunt message to Russia: “You cannot bomb Ukrainian cities and then send your junior players to Alberta to play hockey as if you were civilised people. No Russian or Belarusian teams at the World Junior Championship. Not under your flags. Not under any other flags. Period.”

there are no bigger losers than the Trumpists from last night but Jesse bless his heart is trying to make it competitive.
Jewish Democrats are hopeful today that with U.S. funding to Israel ending and AIPAC politically diminished and no longer funding candidates, the hatred will stop. Here in Canada we have no AIPAC equivalent, and our funding to Israel is insignificant. The hatred is worse.

Mark Carney has let Netanyahu fly over Canada repeatedly, in violation of the ICC arrest warrant he’s bound to uphold. He’s now refusing to let Russian athletes into Canada, citing the Ukraine war. Carney will punish teen hockey players, but let a genocidal leader off the hook.

Doug Ford's grifter ass got on here and accused students of stealing OSAP, not paying theIr school fees (which is impossible to do) and spending money on gratuitous items when 8 FUCKING THOUSAND OSAP APPLICATIONS WERE SUBMITTED FROM THE SAME 3 IP ADDRESSES???? They knew
Another bombshell on the billion dollar OSAP scandal. Over 8,300 OSAP applications came from just THREE IP addresses. The Ford government was warned as early as 2023 and received over 220 tips, complaints and referrals since January 2024. They had the warnings. They refused to act until Oct 2026. Now students are paying the price. We need a full forensic audit. cp24.com/politics/queens-par… #onpoli

Since Ronald Lauder, the sole heir to the Esteé Lauder Companies, stated last month, "I am still a Zionist today, I still love Israel, I will do everything I can to help it succeed," here is a list of all the brands owned by the genocide-enabling cosmetics company. 1/

Pasternak travelled 10,000 km on an all expenses paid trip to Israel and now says we should keep issues 10,000 km away from the City of Toronto. Okay James, are you going to stop attending the Walk for Israel then? Or does this only go one way?
I would agree that a robust effort must take place to build bridges and heal wounds between @MayorOliviaChow and the Jewish community combined with a fresh approach to law and by law enforcement. The Middle East conflict is 10,000 km from @cityoftoronto. It should be kept off our streets and out of the classrooms of Toronto.

The audacity of this OpEd should be rewarded. Private Toronto Jewish groups on Facebook are calling for Chow’s death and instructing on how to do it and “she needs to find ways” to help Jews in Toronto with their anxiety?! Take a good look @JohnLorinc

my Halloween fit was gonna be Haley Stevens’ fiancé, for the record.

Breaking my own rule and writing a Twitter essay... Two days before the midterms, Haley Stevens, the beneficiary of AIPAC’s record-setting $30 million in her primary, appeared with Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers at Perfecting Church in Detroit where she claimed that Rogers would “take on” investing in Black-owned businesses. She then endorsed him. This attempted ratfuck is galling for any number of reasons, but what disgusts me most is the willingness of these genocidal white politicians to use Black voters as human shields for their racism against Abdul El-Sayed. Rogers has run one of the most racist Senate campaigns this century, and yet, Stevens is now climbing aboard while ostensibly professing concern for Black voters. This is an instructive moment in understanding why Zionists must be purged from the party: as believers in a supremacist project themselves, they view Black voters as a faction to be weaponized, not as constituents who deserve genuine representation. They are saboteurs in the broader fight for racial justice. A belief in an ethnostate sustained through apartheid, force, genocide, and domination is fundamentally incompatible with an anti-fascist, anti-racist coalition. Good luck browbeating the Democratic electorate into supporting some pro-Israel corporate centrist in the 2028 presidential election after this saga.

I hadn’t heard or seen Haley Stevens’ fiancé until now and… wow. peak “if I speak” ts
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: HUGE problem looming for Abdul El-Sayed ... Rep. Haley Stevens is ready to pull her support for the Michigan senatorial candidate and no-show an important campaign rally if he doesn't disavow a couple of controversial political ads ... and the warning is coming straight from Haley's fiancé.

abdul el sayed and every muslim person around him has been called a radical islamic jihadist terrorist every single day by the entire political spectrum since he won the primary and i haven’t seen a single think piece or major media interview of an arab voter abt how this makes them feel. arab and muslim voters combined make up almost 4% of the electorate. jewish voters make up 1.4% & many of those jewish voters aren’t zionists or will let israel get in the way of preserving american democracy. so we’ve heard endlessly from a tiny group of potential spoiler voters who aren’t getting their way on a deeply unpopular issue- why?
If you're trying to understand why so many Michigan Jewish Democrats are defecting, I wrote in August about it. It's not, per se, about foreign policy. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…

despite the best attempts of the corporate media we have in the biggest city of Canada (including the feckless, limp Toronto Star), the people of Toronto have resoundingly rejected technocratic opportunism and nihilism. so proud to be part of Toronto, Davenport and Parkdale. 🥳
