  1. One of the most hilarious escape clauses a country that is not the US has in their adoption of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty is that it is automatically voided in case of war.

    Makes total sense. Someone might donate a nuke or two, or you might grab a couple of the enemy's. True optimism.

    Most importantly, you don't want to be sent to secondary inspection by St. Pete.

    #OnionLake #CreeNation to proceed with its legal challenge of #Alberta sovereignty act

    By Lisa Johnson The Canadian Press, May 15, 2025

    EDMONTON - "Alberta’s bill lowering the bar for a separation referendum has spurred a #FirstNation to push ahead with a legal challenge against the premier’s flagship sovereignty act.

    "Danielle Smith has said her Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act is needed to push back on what the province believes is unconstitutional federal encroachment into provincial jurisdiction.

    "But Onion Lake Cree Nation Chief #HenryLewis said that law has always been about undermining federal authority and asserting provincial control, which goes against his community’s #Treaty6 relationship with the Crown.

    " 'I want to respectfully remind the premier that this land that we stand on today is #Treaty land and is not yours to take or make sweeping decisions about,” he said at a news conference in Edmonton on Thursday.

    "He announced the legal challenge is moving forward a day after Smith’s government passed a bill significantly lowering the threshold for citizens to prompt a referendum, including one on seceding from Canada."

    "Australia does have a serious problem with social cohesion, but it’s no good pretending it’s recent."

    "Since the voice to parliament referendum emboldened the right, racists and bots swarm like flies on a turd to any Indigenous topic."

    "The terror and violence usually happens on a case-by-case basis these days."

    "When the Bondi royal commission was announced, there were loud calls for anti-Indigenous racism to be addressed, as well as antisemitism. The racism we endure, is, after all, as Australian as meat pies and Holden cars."

  19. My verto disability officer (who is from London) was asking me how my trip to the UK was, and then she started talking about how "it's changed because ✨the population✨ has changed".

    She then went on to talk about how she has friends who live there who told her how some of ✨the new population✨ moved into their village and are changing everything. She complained about how hundreds of years of tradition were being undone by ✨new people✨ moving in and bringing their own traditions with them and how horrid that is.

    Russia said on Thursday it regretted the expiry of its last remaining #NuclearArms treaty with the United States but was still ready to talk, raising the possibility of a last-minute deal to preserve limits on deployment of the world's deadliest weapons.

    [No word from #Trump who probably relishes the idea of a nuclear weapon stockpile]

  33. Oh look, NSW laws being used to silence the protest against Aboriginal deaths in custody.

    Shocked.

    _____

    Protesters in Sydney have vowed to return for 'Invasion Day' rallies on 26 January after being dispersed at a rally against Indigenous deaths in custody on Sunday.

    In the lead-up to the event, demonstrators said they were planning to march in defiance of the NSW government's controversial new protest laws.

    However, moments before protesters were set to march from Hyde Park, police told event organiser Paul Silva to ask the crowd to "disperse in a peaceful and orderly manner".

    Silva then told the crowd of about 200 people — according to the Australian Associated Press — that he thought it would be "the safest option if we disperse".

    "I don't want anyone being attacked and, unfortunately, these laws will allow that," Silva said.

    Following the Bondi terror attack, NSW passed new legislation giving the state's police commissioner the power to restrict protests for up to three months after a designated terrorist incident.

    Police say they're now negotiating with organisers over the rallies planned for 26 January, Australia Day. A spokesperson has said the NSW Police commissioner has yet to make a decision on whether to renew the ban, which is set to lapse on Tuesday 20 January.

    Trump withdraws from #UN Framework Convention on #ClimateChange (#UNFCCC) and 65 additional UN and other multilateral groups, mostly linked to the environment, renewable energy, development, education, and the promotion of democracy and human rights.
    A year after Trump, who last year branded climate change a “con job,” announced that he would pull US from the 2015 Paris climate agreement for the second time.
