I take evasive maneuvers when in big box stores in particular. Most use multi-layered surveillance to track individuals throughout their stores, even from the parking lots.

Take note of the mass protests and demonstrations taking place around the world. In addition to those against rape culture and anti-immigrantism in the United States, protests are taking place led by young people in India against election fraud, rapes, and regimes,

I’m sure the dictator with secret police who kill and disappear people, who has cheated at everything his entire life, surrounds himself with a permanent National Guard detachment, and who already tried to overthrow the government, and was somehow still re-elected, will definitely follow the rules.

Bobby Flay opening a chain of burger joints in a very unfunny rip off of beloved television series "Bob's Burgers". At The Well on Spadina in Toronto. Not cool. Very not cool.

I don't say this lightly, but Pete Hegseth deserves to be impeached. I understand just how serious a vote to impeach is from experience, and I still believe impeaching him is the right thing to do. The Iran war. The purge of senior ranks. The boat strikes. The case is overwhelming. (Link below)

The language of 'defensive' support is a smokescreen - the PM has committed the UK to this conflict Thousands have been killed by the Saudi-led coalition. Weddings hit, markets destroyed. International Humanitarian Law breached. The UK must not back the murderous Saudi regime.

Trump’s ICE thugs shot 28-year-old Wilber Rafael Garces Perez through his car window as he was delivering food yesterday in Austin, Texas. His wife and lawyer were reportedly denied access to see him in the hospital, and ICE is now trying to deport him. This violence must end. Abolish ICE.

For Americans saying, “What do you expect us to do?”. This. This is what the world expects from you. Except A LOT MORE of you. Looking at the video it’s obvious to see that it’s mostly people from immigrant backgrounds protesting. Immigrants doing all the hard work again.

It's overwhelming. And not in a good way. I agree, we aren't evolved for this. It messes with your head and heart and psyche. I would rather be doing almost anything else right now. If you're a halfway decent human, the responsibility is heavy and the abuse is crushing.

One of the aspects of 9/11 that changed the world forever was the mass normalization at the highest levels, of anti-Muslim sentiment. It predated 9/11, but became systematized after.

More Palestinians have been killed (1,300) since the so-called ceasefire began in Gaza on 10th October 2025 than Israelis were killed on 7th October 2023 - including ten times as many children (300!) as were killed on 10/7. This is what a 'ceasefire' looks like for Palestinians.
