The videos of Australian police beating protesters reminded me of IRGC and Basij in Iran.


But hey, no one dares to condemn those criminal police brutalities that are becoming the norm against antiwar, anti military and anti genocide protesters worldwide.

Ww have come to a whole new world. With fascism is now an acceptwd part of the "civilized west" when it comes to dealing with protesters.

Isn't it lovely to live in the free world?

We have all the freedoms in the world, aa long as we don't criticize Israel, capitalism, greenwaahed corporations and of course the 1984 style police state building up around us.

"[Rafah] is uninhabitable … the army has been hitting all its main central squares and destroying water wells, educational facilities, universities, and all evacuation shelters that Palestinians had been using pre-incursion."

Secretive steps toward privatization of health care in Alberta, Canada by United Conservative Party government


Early this year, the government opted to pause the long-awaited renovation and expansion of the Airdrie's existing urgent care centre while they reviewed an undisclosed proposal to add One Health—a private partner—to the public facility. After much public outcry, the government announced the public project would resume. But mere weeks later, they confirmed they had quietly provided an $85,000 grant to One Health to develop a business plan for a new private health facility which would include a second urgent care centre in Airdrie. The full details of this proposal have still not been shared with the public.
...It sure looks like Airdrie is being used as the test case of a new for-profit model of acute care, which would be a major shift in how we deliver health care.

Why are these SLAPP suits allowed?


"When a federal judge dismissed the suit, the company filed a new one in a North Dakota state court."

If any of you read the #Narnia books as children, do you remember a scene in "Prince Caspian" when Aslan is returning to Narnia and they come to the Bridge (formerly Ford) of Beruna where a river god calls out "Hail, Lord, Loose my chains". Something like that really happened for the Klamath River in Oregon! Check out the latest Planet Snapshots medium.com/@planetsnapshots/is… #PlanetScope #Klamath #DamRemoval

The #UNRWA flag on the school made it a target instead of protecting it from Israeli bombardment.

“From the beginning of this genocide … [UNRWA] has been a target by the Israeli government for what it represents.”

“UNRWA represents … the right of return for the Palestinians refugees who were kicked out of their homes in 1948. So UNRWA represents a cause – a right of return for refugees – and this is what Israel has been trying to eliminate.”

Israeli raids destroyed water supply for 35,000 Palestinians in #Jenin

45 homes were left “completely uninhabitable” by Israeli forces, displacing 297 people, including 102 children.

Israeli bulldozers and heavy machinery tore up approximately 25 kilometres of roads, around 70 percent of all the city’s roads.

The destruction of the roads also damaged underlying water and sewage pipes, leaving approximately 35,000 residents without a #water supply since August 28.

Petition for a decent and humane Disability Benefit in Canada


From deeply unreasonable eligibility requirements to a measly maximum of just $6 a day – the Canadian government’s current proposals for the CDB fall short of their promise to lift millions out of poverty.
