I am posting from inside Iran, bypassing several layers of blockage to post this. The Iranian people want this regime gone and are willing to pay the price, because the price of the regime staying in power is higher. That is all. That's the tweet.

I am the Ukrainian skeleton racer who was wrongfully disqualified from the Olympics last month because of my “Memory Helmet.” Tonight in Milano-Cortina, the Paralympic Games are opening. The Committee has bizarrely permitted Russian soldier-athletes to participate under the Russian flag. The head of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) literally stated that they don’t care about what Russian soldiers did in Ukraine. The problem is that we do care. They are killing Ukrainians on the battlefield, bombing our cities, and committing genocide. Now, with this step of allowing them to compete, the IPC is giving them the opportunity to continue committing genocide by spreading Russian narratives with Russian flags and symbols. They try to manipulate the situation by pointing out that the movement started after World War II, but during World War II the Olympic Games were cancelled, and German athletes were not invited and did not take part in the Games until 1952. It looks like the head of the IPC doesn’t know the history of the Olympic and Paralympic movement at all. What a shame. This whole story is just getting worse and worse.

It's like the beginning of an apocalypse: Russia has attacked Kostyantynivka with banned phosphorus, which incinerates all living things, and dropped a FAB-1500 bomb on the city. Terrible.

“2,200 American servicemen killed at Pearl Harbor — we go on to kill 3.5 million Japanese, including 100,000 in one night. 2,800 Americans in 9/11 — we go on to kill 400,000 people in Afghanistan and Iraq. We weren’t accused of genocide. If Mexico had elected a jihadist cartel to run their country and they incurred into Texas, and on a per capita basis killed 35,000 people, a population of the University of Texas, and on the way back, took the freshmen class at SMU hostage and hid them under tunnels, what would we do? It’d be the great Sonora radioactive parking lot. But Jews are not allowed, and Israel is not allowed to prosecute a war. And they are prosecuting a war more humanely than we have done. The ratio of combatants to civilians — of civilian death to combatant mortality — is lower than it was in Mosul, lower than it was in Japan, lower than it was in Germany. So there’s just a different standard for Jews and Israel when it comes to prosecuting a war. They’re allowed to fight back to a truce. But unlike America or any other Western nation that is attacked as viciously, they're not allowed to win a war. It's a double standard.” — @profgalloway, April 23, 2024

I find the views of the intolerant far right as offensive as the views of the intolerant far left. But this sort of commentary has no business coming from a university. I am profoundly troubled that a prof from @uvic , where I have been employed since 1992, posted this.

Glastonbury. The UK’s biggest music festival. Over 200,000 in attendance. On stage, Bob Vylan screamed: “DEATH! DEATH TO THE IDF!” And the crowd screamed it back. This is how mainstream Jew-hatred has become. Absolutely disgusting.

The Embassy of Israel in the United Kingdom is deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival. Freedom of expression is a cornerstone of democracy. But when speech crosses into incitement, hatred, and advocacy of ethnic cleansing, it must be called out—especially when amplified by public figures on prominent platforms. Chants such as “Death to the IDF,” and “From the river to the sea” are slogans that advocate for the dismantling of the State of Israel and implicitly call for the elimination of Jewish self-determination. When such messages are delivered before tens of thousands of festivalgoers and met with applause, it raises serious concerns about the normalisation of extremist language and the glorification of violence. We call on Glastonbury Festival organisers, artists, and public leaders in the UK to denounce this rhetoric and reject of all forms of hatred.

"My name is Eduard Bykov. I'm a serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, I'm reaching out to @Apple with a request to add the Ukrainian language to Siri. In April 2024, I was wounded, lost an arm and a leg, and I'm still unable to see. Currently, the only way for me to use my phone is through the virtual assistant Siri. Unfortunately, Siri doesn't support the Ukrainian language. This is a vital need for many Ukrainians. Please share this video and tag Apple in the comments. Glory to Ukraine!" 🇺🇦

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US.

If you saw the train wreck interview Stephen Quinn did with John Rustad yesterday on The Early Edition (or you saw the clip that is going around) and you think it's reprehensible, or irresponsible, or just plain bigoted, email CBC and say so. <[email protected]> #bcpoli

BC Conservative leader John Rustad finds his voice and finally annihilated this CBC interviewer today who was obviously sent to try to squash John. This is the BEST interview John has done to date. Take a look at this CBC fake news absolute FAIL. CBC does not even bother to hide the fact anymore that they are working for the radical left NDP in BC. This is the John everyone wants and needs...

This would probably ring with more sincerity if the @bcndp hadn't pushed out @AnjaliApp from the leadership race, Selina Robinson from cabinet, and Indigenous leader Annita McPhee from the Stikine nomination for @nathancullen
