Canadian labour leader pressured to resign for anti-Israel post
Fred Hahn, President of CUPE Ontario and a long-time supporter of Palestinian rights, has been slandered by pro-Israel groups and Canadian politicians as "antisemitic" following a post he made on social media criticizing the involvement of Israeli athletes who served in the Israeli army in the Paris Olympics.
Despite reiterating that his "intent was never to associate Jewish people with the violence enacted by the state of Israel," the CUPE National Executive Board has called for Hahn to resign from his position as VP.
Stand with Fred Hahn - Send a Message to CUPE Now!

Support Capital Pride in their solidarity with Palestine
On August 6, Capital Pride, the LGBTQ2S+ organization that organizes Ottawa's annual pride parade, released a statement expressing solidarity with Palestine.
Following their statement, Capital Pride was slandered by pro-Israel groups, who falsely claimed that the statement was exclusionary and antisemitic, making some in the community unwelcome.
Following their lead, the Liberal Party of Canada, the University of Ottawa, the Bank of Canada, and the Ottawa Hospital, among other institutions, have shamefully decided to withdraw their participation.

Basic Income study: What was the effect of giving 1000 poor people in Texas and Illinois an extra $1000/month?
I'm not usually a fan of Sam Altman, but this is something cool he funded.
This study gave 1,000 people in Texas and Illinois $1,000/month over 3 years and collected large amounts of data on employment, health, housing, schooling, time use, entrepreneurship, and more.
The results are remarkable, a very strong argument for universal basic income.

I'm at big name pharmacy, asking for a quick covid test because I have symptoms. The pharmacist tells me almost nobody has had any for a while...
Not even if you pay for it... Just unavailable. She tells me they treat it like something you take Tylenol for so no tests...
Outrageous

A piece of "trivia" everyone should take note of about the Baltimore Francis Key Scott bridge collapse
I have long wondered how automatic windows replacing manual were ever approved for safety windows as they make the vehicle into a death trap if the electrical system fails
Six construction workers were drowned while taking a break in their vehicles when the bridge collapses. Two survived, one in serious condition when rescued The other....
"He survived because his window was manual. He was able to roll down the window and escape."

Israeli forces are reported to be firing randomly at everything moving in the besieged Tulkarem refugee camp, according to Wafa, and have also besieged the Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital and the al-Israa Specialised Hospital.

His TikTok account was like a glimpse of light in the darkness of an ongoing genocide.
They killed him, but they could never kill his free spirit. His happy videos, his cooking videos and his funny videos about his life under Israeli bombings were one of the nicest ones I watched almost every day.
Fuck Israel and anyone still supporting it.

It seems to me some analog must have been occurring during the colonization of Africa and Turtle & Condor Islands. This grotesque behavior can't be entirely new.🤬

Imagine reading my post and the image and then comment like that.
I guess the problem with Israel is not just Netanyahu, but a large percentage of its population and millions of racist, christian Zionists and JewishISIS around the world.

That time when I took a photo of the Orion nebula with my Pixel 4a that I got for free from Aaron and installed CalyxOS on it :). Of course the photo is taken through my telescope, but still is quite impressive. #orion #nebula #nightsky #astrophotpgraphy #pixe4a #calyxos

The story of Alberta's endangered boreal #caribou
There is no political will to curb the resource extraction (oil and gas we should never burn) in what's left of the caribou's habitat. So instead a brutal wolf cull keeps the herds alive for now, while millions of dollars are spent on research and data gathering to give the appearance of concern.
