The fallout wasn't just diplomatic—it was physical. Within weeks of Oct 7, the US had to redirect tens of thousands of 155mm artillery shells to Israel that were originally bound for Ukraine. It triggered an immediate supply drop on Ukraine's front lines.

The timing immediately drained the political "oxygen" and media attention from Ukraine. As a European diplomat told POLITICO, it was "the best birthday gift for Putin" because it forced the West to split its intelligence, diplomatic focus, and military aid.

Was the October 7 attack on Israel a geopolitical "birthday gift" to Vladimir Putin? While there's no smoking gun proving Moscow ordered it, the date alignment and strategic fallout make it a highly credible theory among intelligence experts. Let’s break down why 👇

Russia is relishing — and partly fueling — chaos in a series of global flashpoints that divert the West’s energies from Ukraine.

100% endorse this thread. I teach consent, violence prevention & bystander intervention for a living - It is my area of expertise. There is *no* evidence of the existence of an "Oops, my bad!" rapist. "Sexual assault is a miscommunication" is a myth without any evidence. It is an intentional act.

The two places where adult men experience the highest rates of sexual assault are in the military and while incarcerated. That fact alone proves that sexual assault is about power, domination and humiliation. It's about making someone "your bitch" - proving the inherent misogyny involved.

Also, THEY WON'T. We've seen pretty clearly that men will talk a big game about being "protectors" but don't even have the courage to denounce a friend via text in a group chat. And the state killed Eileen Wuornos. So, y'all can stop acting like we're actually putting these men's life in danger.

University presidents are so rarely on the right side of history because they only make it to that position because they brought in a lot of money which means they appeased a lot of rich people whose only concern is PR. The position is incompatible with student safety.

For what it's worth, I'm referring to men who've been assaulted by men AND those who were assaulted by women! Hell, I've also heard from women who were assaulted *by other women* and they also don't criticize our work to end rape culture. The cacophony of "What abouttism" comes from the unharmed.

Men commit 97% of sexual assaults and men are statistically more likely to be raped by another man, than falsely accused of rape by a woman. Boys and men who've been sexually assaulted understand that rape is about power, domination and humiliation. They know it's rooted in misogyny. They get it.

I've been working to end sexual violence for 20+ years and I have never, ever, not once, had a male survivor tell me they were offended by my work or felt excluded by my work. The "What about men?!" crowd does not actually care about boys and men who've been sexually assaulted.

Comprehensive sex education does reduce sexual violence perpetration. But the most effective programs are in a K-12 environment. This is a fight we should be having with public school districts and state legislatures.

Graphic titled “IMMIGRANTS ARE PART OF THE SOLUTION – THE FACTS.” Four facts explain the contributions of immigrants and newcomers in Canada and Alberta. The first says newcomers make up 23% of Canada’s construction workforce, including 20% of roofers and 16% of electricians. The second says immigrants make up 25% of registered nurses and 37% of physicians across Canada, while Alberta ranks last among the 10 provinces in per-student education funding. The third says 90% of immigrants file income taxes in their first year and contribute to provincial revenues from Day 1. The fourth says recent immigrants contribute more than $5 billion annually in Alberta taxes and concludes that they already pay for services. A row of brightly coloured pencils fills the bottom of the graphic, representing people contributing their skills and work to the country.
