Men and boys still need to be taught consent and the hockey trial sure didn't help.
As a young woman a friend I went to TO for the weekend with asked a couple of guys back to our room for a drink after the bar closed (against my advice). We had a drink, chatted a bit and the asked them to leave as we were going to sleep. They became very angry...
"I witnessed the Israeli Defense Forces shooting at the crowds of Palestinians." "I witnessed the Israeli Defense Forces firing a main gun tank round ... into a crowd of people, destroying a crowd of civilians that were simply driving away from the site." — Ex-U.S. Green Beret
The IDF "never found proof that [Hamas] had systematically stolen aid from the United Nations ... according to two senior Israeli military officials and two other Israelis involved," reports the NYT. A war crime built on a lie.
The obligation to prevent genocide, including through starvation, binds Canada. Israel is deliberately creating conditions of life calculated to physically destroy Palestinians in Gaza. Canada is failing in its duty to take all reasonable measures to prevent Israel’s actions.
Canada condemns the Israeli government’s failure to prevent the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian disaster in Gaza. Israel’s control of aid distribution must be replaced by comprehensive provision of humanitarian assistance led by international organizations. Many of these are…

Catching up on the "hockey trial" in Canada, and Judge Carroccia is not coming off as a serious or credible person. The questions she asked and assumptions she made about the accuser are shocking. The Canadian legal system is a hostile environment for sexual violence survivors.
This is not a country that is well.

Wow. Carney didn't consult with chiefs before passing the megaprojects law, said he would consult after. Now during "consultations" he says their feedback won't change the law.
Prime Minister Mark Carney tells Chiefs there will be no amendments to Bill C-5 in closed door talks. aptnnews.ca/?p=273935

"10 children per day lose one or both of their legs"
And 10 children per day lose one or both of their legs. 20 months of intense hostilities have destroyed the protection environment for persons with disabilities and older persons. Protection Cluster outlines 5 key protection risks in this regard requiring immediate attention.

Ali Younesi, who won gold in the 2018 International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics, was forcibly disappeared from Ward 4 of Iran's notorious Evin Prison on 18 June 2025, with no news of him since. #Where_Is_Our_Prisoner? CC: @drmaisato @WGEID @volker_turk @AgnesCallamard
Following the violent attack on #EvinPrison, political prisoner #AliYounesi was abducted from Ward 4 by agents of the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence. It has now been 11 days with no information about his fate. We urge the @WGEID UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary…
By sanctioning a UN Special Rapporteur, the US may be in violation of the 1946 Convention on Privileges and Immunities of the UN. As an expert on UN mission, SR Albanese is entitled to immunity from legal process of any kind. Which UN member will take the US to the ICJ over this?
What is shameful and illegitimate is this move by the US to retaliate against @FranceskAlbs for her principled, courageous and effective work as UN Special Rapporteur. This is part of the broader pattern of Trumpian frontal assault on international accountability institutions.
