The man below standing with indicted ICC fugitive Netanyahu and holding a Barak sniper rifle to be sent to IOF genocidaires is the man UNSG Antonio Guterres has just appointed as the new head of the UN World Food Programme. He is Luke Lindberg, a former Trump administration official and vocal Israel regime supporter who publicly praised Netanyahu in the middle of the genocide in Palestine (wishing him “godspeed”), and who is the son-in-law of Israel lobby darling US Sen. John Thune. In the meantime, WFP has announced it is cutting food aid to half a million genocide survivors in Gaza, as winter approaches and their situation grows ever more dire. This is the UN on its knees before the US empire. It will find the courage to stand up, or it will fade into permanent irrelevance. #Shame

Ok, I didn’t expect a story time on Saturday, but here we go. What I’m about to write is TRUE. It is insane, stupid, and very dumb, but it is true. Earlier today Donald J Trump, the p[resident of the United States, posted that he had offered the job of Press Secretary to Dana White. Well, it was the wrong Dana White… 🧵

Vassy: Why is that (investment mega-deduction) inherently a bad thing? Avi Lewis: Does creating more wealth in Canada trickle down to actually benefit all of us? We've been pursuing this fairy tale since Brian Mulroney in the 1980s. It has never worked.

The @BlueJays and @Rogers cut ties with Anthony Bass over his anti-LGBTQ social media post. So @BlueJays: Will you apply the same standard to Santander over his anti-Muslim social media activity? If not, why not? Does accountability depend on which community is targeted? @MLB
