Un journaliste tenant un micro rouge portant le logo « Le Petit Journal » interroge un homme et un jeune enfant dans un espace public. L’enfant, vêtu d’une veste grise à capuche orange, est assis sur les genoux de l’homme tandis que le journaliste se penche vers eux. Des personnes se tiennent en arrière-plan, légèrement floues. La scène a été filmée dans le contexte des réactions publiques après les attentats du Bataclan

The word “ZOHRAN” appears in large uppercase letters with a red shadow effect, while “FOR” is in a smaller italic script, and “MONTREAL” is in bold uppercase block letters. The overall design resembles a campaign-style logo or promotional graphic.

A woman stands outdoors eating a frozen dessert with a small spoon. She is wearing a large, exaggerated bonnet-style hat made of brown and white gingham fabric. Her long blonde hair is partially tucked under the hat, and she is dressed in a light mauve blouse with cream accents. In the background, people are gathered for an event with purple and white balloons, likely a graduation celebration, based on caps and gowns visible on other attendees. The scene is well-lit and festive.

Mon Mothma's speech on #Andor 2x09: "Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, (...) we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest."
Fellow Senators, friends, colleagues, allies, adversaries. I stand before you this morning with a heavy heart. I’ve spent my life in this chamber. I came here as a child. And as I look around now, I realize I have almost no memories that pre-date my arrival and few bonds of affection that cleave so tightly. Through these many years, I believe I have served my constituents honorably and upheld our code of conduct. This chamber is a cauldron of opinions and we’ve certainly all had our patience and tempers tested in pursuit of our ideals. Disagree as we might, I am hopeful that those of you who know me will vouch for my credibility in the days to come. I stand this morning with a difficult message. I believe we are in crisis. The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil.  When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest. This Chamber’s hold on the truth was finally lost on the Ghorman Plaza. What took place yesterday… what happened yesterday on Ghorman was unprovoked genocide! Yes! Genocide! And that truth has been exiled from this chamber! And the monster screaming the loudest? The monster we’ve helped create? The monster who will come for us all soon enough is Emperor Palpatine!

Twelve years later, today I’ve finally cleared out my Halifax apartment for good. Now just waiting for my flight back to Montreal.
An empty apartment room with light wood flooring and white walls. Two black suitcases are on the floor near the bottom of the frame. The far wall features large windows with closed blinds, partially revealing an urban cityscape with high-rise buildings and bare trees outside. A baseboard heater runs along the wall beneath the windows. The room is undecorated and unfurnished, suggesting it is being vacated.

Story time: Vancouver airport, April 30, 2013 After eight months studying abroad in Kamloops, B.C., I spent my last Canadian coins on a 40-pack of Timbits. That box was my 'meal' on the flight. I keep it in my room in Barcelona, full of random memorabilia from my first time in Canada.
Twelve years ago today, I posted a photo of a 40-pack box of Timbits resting on my knees at an airport. In the background, you can see terminal signage, a duty-free store, and an escalator. My caption from April 30, 2013, reads: “I've invested my latest Canadian loonies & toonies on Tim Hortons' Timbits 40-pack.”

Dia de #SantJordi a Montreal: he anat a la llibreria feminista L'Euguélionne i he comprat aquest llibre, recomanat per una de les llibreteres. Al marxar, estaven organitzant un recital de poesia en francés i anglès, m'hi he quedat.
I’m holding a navy blue book titled Comparution by Angelina Guo, published by Le Quartanier as part of the "Série QR" collection. My thumbnail has chipped black nail polish, and the book rests on a fabric with green splatter patterns. In the background, there are rows of black chairs and blurry bookshelves.

My first protest in Montreal On my way back from a hike up Mount Royal, I came across a large pro-Palestinian protest in downtown Montreal. Organized by Montreal4Palestine, it’s been happening every weekend, each time following a different route. Full post: www.instagram.com/p/DIH2CINR5RY/
A protest scene in downtown Montreal with people holding Palestinian flags and signs. The central sign, written in French, reads "L'État d'Israël ne représente pas tous les Juifs du monde" ("The State of Israel does not represent all Jews worldwide"), with a web address "www.nkCanada.ca" below. Another sign in English and Arabic reads, "Land that you have to kill for is not your land. Zionists have America. Palestine has Allah." The background includes modern high-rise buildings and a green Metro sign, clearly identifying the location as Montreal.

In 1991, Donald Trump hosted the New York launch of Cobi, mascot of the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona. A Catalan reporter said Trump had "ruined the Plaza Hotel, other casinos, apartments, and 40% of the Boston–DC–NY shuttle." He also just paid 2 billion pesetas at the time to divorce Ivana Trump.

Various posters include slogans like "Immigrants Welcome, Fascists Fuck Off" and "Racistes Décâlissez."

ALT text: A promotional poster for *Andor* Season 2, a *Star Wars* series on Disney+. The image is split into two halves, symbolizing the battle between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire. The left side features Cassian Andor (played by Diego Luna) at the center, along with other key Rebel characters, including Mon Mothma, Saw Gerrera, and B2EMO. The Rebel symbol is in the background, with X-Wings flying above a jungle temple. The right side represents the Empire, with Imperial officers, stormtroopers, and spaceships such as TIE fighters and Star Destroyers. The Imperial symbol is in the background, and the Death Star looms in the distance. The release date, "April 22," and the *Disney+* logo are at the bottom right.

Posters by @springmagca.bsky.social, a "magazine of socialist ideas in action," have appeared in downtown Halifax to highlight the challenges migrant workers face and the rise of anti-immigrant sentiment in Canada, pointing at who promotes it and why. "Blame billionaires, not immigrants!"
A black metal pole on a city sidewalk with a poster attached to it. The poster has a bold blue and white design with capitalized text. 

The main message reads:

"CAN'T FIND A GOOD JOB?
BLAME BOSSES NOT IMMIGRANTS"

Below this, additional text explains:

• "Bosses exploit migrant workers because their immigration status gives them fewer rights."

• "This erodes working conditions for everyone—more than 36% of Canadian workers are now in precarious jobs."

• "Granting migrants equal rights raises the floor to improve working conditions for all workers."

At the bottom, a smaller line of text states:
"All workers must stand together."

Parts of another similar poster are visible on the same pole. The background includes a street with a parked car, a bus, and some bare bushes. The pole is worn, with remnants of older stickers and peeling paint.
