1·2 hours agoIf you think the Government is breaking the law, the solution isn’t breaking the law.
In Britain, you can sue the Government if you think the government is breaking the law.

Also, what country do you think is respecting international law? Should citizens of all countries start attacking military bases? How does that end?
That’s a crime for the people who broke into a base, not a reason to ban an entire organization. Lots of activist organizations have had members do illegal things. If that’s all it takes for the government to ban them, that’s an easy bar to manufacture and/or selectively activate.
Their lawyer can appeal the decision in court.
If you start breaking into military bases to target jets, consider yourself lucky you don’t get shot.
“Charged with supporting” RIP democracy.

2·19 hours agoThe United Nations special representative Pramila Patten released her full report on sexual assaults on October 7.
She concluded that sexual violence did indeed take place. The NYT didn’t publish anything false.
The fact Hamas committed bad thing doesn’t mean the NYT vilified Palestinians.
The NYT told the story of a Palestinian grandmother who refuses to leave her home in Gaza during bombardments because she already lost her home once, in 1948:

The NYT wrote stories about a Palestinian child orphaned by the air strike that killed dozens of her family members :
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/18/world/middleeast/gaza-children-israel.html
There’s no story that is more fiercely contested than Israel-Palestine drama , more mired in competing zero-sum narratives. It is nearly impossible to produce fair, accurate coverage without making all sides angry.
What you are doing is called moving the goal post. But I’ll answer.
1. Hamas is not “The Palestinians”. Saying Hamas committed bad things doesn’t mean “demonizing palestinians”.
2. The french media confirmed there were acts of sexual abuse on October 7. This is a very strange hill to die on.
3. The NYT has published stunning investigations into Israeli crimes:
An Israeli Soldier Killed a Medic in Gaza. We Investigated the Fatal Shot.
Autopsies of Gaza Medics Killed by Israeli Troops Show Some Were Shot in the Head
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/06/world/middleeast/gaza-medics-killed-israel.html
4. She wasn’t a NYT journalist. She was a freelancer. She helped make the movie “Waltz with Bashir” and was described as a leftist. Her Facebook profile picture declared in Arabic that “Jews and Arabs refuse to be enemies’”. The like was in question was posted on October 7. Upon learning this, on March 2024, the NYT ended her employment.
5. You are quoting The Intercept. That small newspaper also has reporters involved in ethical scandals. You want me to list them all?
6. The New York Times has published opinion pieces by several Palestinians and Israelis.

Benjamin Netanyahu doesn’t like New York Times very much.
From december 2022:
Israel’s Prime Minister-elect Benjamin Netanyahu slammed the New York Times on Sunday after the paper’s editorial board warned his administration would undermine democracy and cater to extremists.
In particular the NYT and CNN deserve much more distrust imo. It is clear that they are agenda driven, usually against the interests of the middle class.
I’m a paying subscriber of the New York Times.
I find your criticism deeply unfair. Yes, the NYT sometimes gets thing wrong. No news organization is perfect. But, overall, it’s a good newspaper. And they aren’t anti-middle class. In fact, I would argue the opposite. It’s one of the only big media organization in the US that regularly publishes pro-union opinion articles. When was the last time you saw USA today or CNN do that?

The real pro-oligarchy paper is the Wall Street Journal.
The WSJ never published a single opinion article saying good things about labor unions.
WSJ editors are explicitly told that if they do that, they will be fired. This is a direct order from the owner, Rupert Murdoch.
In fact, the WSJ has published countless opinion pieces praising right-to work laws, attacking labor unions, and calling for taxes on the rich to be massively slashed:

Joe Biden named Lina Khan, an anti-monopoly activist, to head the FTC.
If you read the NYT, you will find several opinion articles praising Lina Khan for taking on huge corporations:

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/23/opinion/lina-khan-antitrust-harris.html
If you read Murdoch’s WSJ, every single opinion article ever published attacks her and defends big corporations:

What’s the typo?
53·1 day agoAlmost half of the country almost voted for a guy defending single-use plastics
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/poilievre-scrap-plastics-ban-1.7514037
Look at Justin Trudeau. He actually tried to take small measures.
For instance, he banned oil tankers of the BC coast. Many scientists would tell you he didn’t do enough for the environment. Under his leadership, Canadian oil production actually increased.
You read that right. Canadian oil production increased under Justin Trudeau.
Despite this, he was demonized. The opposition claimed he humiliated Alberta and ruined the oil industry. Every small decision he took was publically denounced.
Now Danielle Smith and Scott Morison, two powerful Premiers, are publically demanding this:
- Repealing/overhauling the Environmental Assessment Act
- Eliminating the proposed oil and gas emissions cap;
- Scrapping the Clean Electricity Regulations;
- Get rid of the BC coast oil tanker ban
- Stop requiring companies to sell electric vehicles
- Repealing any law or regulation that regulates carbon emissions, plastics, or the commercial free speech of energy companies.
The law against green-washing? Gone. Limiting single use plastics? Gone. Banning huge tankers of the coast of British Columbia? Gone.
It’s not just the oil companies.
It’s the politics.
Brazil is like a small version of the United States. It’s one of the most unequal economy in the world. A very small group of rich families control the entire Brazilian economy. There is a very powerful Christian Evangelical movement that denies climate change. There is a TV channel (Globo) that is basically a corporate empire. The Brazilian Congress was violently stormed after a hard-right candidate denied the results of an election.
But the comparison stops here.
Brazilians take their democracy seriously. They are taking the former President to court for planning a coup. They told Elon Musk his businesses must respect the law or they will shut them down. The billionaire screamed like an animal. He insulted them. He ended up complying. The naive Europeans are still asking “respect the law Elon, please please, or we will give you a fine”. They don’t understand the game has changed.
Now the US publically targets Brazil. Because I think President Trump sees himself in the events in Brazil. The Brazilian Evangelicals are also asking the US Evangelical movement for help.
I’ll assume this is a false flag
Yeah. This is like totally unhinged. Israel isn’t going around attacking Jewish Museums. Especially not in the United States. Being caught means an unprecedented diplomatic crisis.
40% of people in Mike Johnson’s Louisiana District depend on Medicaid.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/house-speaker-mike-johnson-medicaid-cuts-louisiana-district/
Mike Johnson just voted the largest Medicaid cut in US history. (1) (2) (3) (4)
These people are going to lose their healthcare.
I think they would still vote for him. Why? He is a Pastor.
Mike Johnson is a Congressman for Louisana. People in Louisiana absolutely love him.
Louisiana is a deeply religious american state. Mike Johnson is a Pastor.
I’m not saying the content of this article isn’t real.
But people should be aware the Middle East Eye isn’t a real newspaper. Try to find their official address. You will find they don’t have any address. That’s not normal.
That’s because Middle East Eye is run by the Qatari embassy in London. When Qatar was in a crisis with Saudi Arabia, the MEE published articles violently attacking Saudi Arabia and praising Qatar.
France: 70 million people. 348 Senators. 5 year mandate. Each French Senator represents a small region of France. Senators are banned from having any second job in office.
Britain: 70 million people. 831 Lords and Barons. Overwhelming from Southern England. No second-job ban. Several are lobbyists. Lifetime job security. Many in their 70s and 80s get paid just to show up, have tea and play cards with friends.
Tesla senior executives are meeting right now. They are ready to unleash a deluge of social media attacks to discredit the court decision. Attack. Attack. Attack. It’s all they know.
But in 2023, the New York Times magazine spent weeks investigating Tesla .
As a paying NYT subscriber (yeah, we exist), here is the full investigation:
It’s very clear that Mr. Musk knowingly lied about the safety of his Autopilot system.
As a result, innocents were killed. He simply believed he would never be caught.
I’m not Canadian but I lived there for a few years. I went back to my home country, but I still follow Canadian politics closely.

If Alberta politicians are too incompetent to manage traffic safety or prevent measles, what makes people think they can manage a new country…???
No offense, but this would be a Failed State on day 1.
This is a mask-off moment.
