I'm pleased @FrontBurnerCBC shared this interview, which sheds light on a persistent fallacy of Western media: accepting narratives shaped by the Israeli government/army as absolute truth. It was striking how the journalist persistently framed my statements as mere "beliefs" instead of what they are—evidence-based expert opinions grounded in facts & int'l law. Even the Nakba was labeled “contested” simply because the State of Israel dismisses it. Since when legal interpretations and obective assessments depend on the validation of those involved?

Please read this. It's literally been 8 years in the writing.
The first wave of tech disruption of democracy 2016-2024 is over. What starts now is something much, much worse: the age of information chaos.

I really, really want to leave this platform. Threads is out of the question bc of Meta's news ban in Canada. I'll be trying out bsky gabrielaper.bsky.social and J-Source is there, too.
Without consulting educators, the AB government released curriculum guidelines saying students should learn about Alberta’s (made up) reputation as ‘most ethical producer of oil in the world’ @IJFMedia

Unbelievable, but plainly clear from early on. The facts haven't changed. But our attention has to.
Hope is a discipline. Not caring is the easy road. <3
Read @RebeccaSolnit and absorb that hope is not a bird in the sky you hope lands near you, it’s an active orientation. You find it in the care for someone else or something else outside of yourself. It’s bigger than you. It’s an act of cultivation. Rub two sticks together.
Unbelievable. Wasn't Canada "back" in the int'l stage?

I had the privilege to interview @CarolOff_ recently about her new book. After last night's results in the US, I can only say her book has become that much more urgent. Our conversation is available on @jsource

These are facts. This is not an opinion. It's actually happening. Let's see it reported as what it is: The truth of an all out, indiscriminate and brutal assault on people trapped in a strip of land, with no way out. Aided and abetted by several governments, including #Canada
More accolades for @thenarwhalca! This is an excellent publication. Some good news in the world of journalism.
so proud to be a part of this team & to work each day with another First Nations journalist like the brilliant @Sevawood is such a gift. ❤️🙏
We need to hear much more about these grassroots efforts to end the assault on Palestinians. Journalists' routines over-rely on official sources & so we hear from military and political voices, and consistently miss out on people-led efforts for peace
More than 3,000 Israeli citizens have signed a new open letter urging "global pressure on Israel to force an immediate ceasefire."
Hear from scholar @nevegordon about why he and other @icfitp signatories are calling for international sanctions on the arms trade to Israel.
This is a reminder that journalists and media owners are often not one and the same. In fact, journalists are almost always the warriors in the front lines defending the public interest against their own employers

This is a good analysis of what happened

🧵 CNN just removed a far-right panelist for a racist remark against progressive commentator @mehdirhasan.
This was the right decision. But as a former TV booker, what happened is part of a much bigger problem...
A must read for those following AB politics and the new legislative agenda: @TheTyee thetyee.ca/Analysis/2024/10/…

Israel has launched an all-out attack on the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza. @democracynow reached the acting director of Al-Awda Hospital, Dr. Mohammed Salha, last night as he described scenes of carnage and urged the world to "stop the genocide."
So well deserved! Amazing to see top environmental journalists recognized.
