Saw the post by @TheDejazmach on @globeandmail's Geoffrey York, who chose sanctimony and smugness when confronted. Typical BS excuse: "You don't understand journalism." Well, I DO -- I've worked in it some 40+ years in TV, radio, mags, books.

Let's deflate the York balloon... York wants to lecture others on empathy. When he covered the 🇨🇦 hearings on the TPLF war he ignored @ECNAS_CA's Tihut Asfaw & others making Ethiopia's case but was happy to promote a creep who calls Ethiopians "horrible people." As he's doing again -- along with Brad Sherman.

I plan to cause as much trouble as I can in the weeks and months ahead.

People keep dying. The most beloved 🇪🇹 cultural elements are under attack.

I asked when the civil rights campaign will start and I am sick of this shit so I plan to start leaving fuses all over the place... I will write to inspire. I will write to provoke and to ridicule and to nag. And I will do it because I have to believe there are millions who want peaceful change and their democracy to be more than just window dressing.

🇪🇹 is for all of you, not one party, not one ethnicity.

It is not good enough to care. Anyone can care.
What are you going to DO about reports of people being brutalized, forced from their land, murdered?
We don't have to tick a box for consciences: "I care" -- who gives a shit? 😠
Me, I want to see these people free, safe, alive. 🇪🇹 How will it be put right, folks?
When does the civil rights campaign truly begin in 🇪🇹?
They attacked your church. They attacked #Adwa.
They are slaughtering a whole ethnic group.
No one ever wins their rights by asking -- you have to demand rights, fight for and win them.

So, this is bizarre. People having an all-out insult war against the guy who owns the platform, treating it as if it's a public utility. Except it's not. And I can't really give 2 fucks bc NONE of you ranting gave a damn while my African friends got screwed by the old management. For as much as some of you want me to beat my chest with you over your complaints about the new owner, I noticed many Americans have NO problem with this being a global platform in which the NSA worked with Twitter to fuck over those of us advocating for African, Asian causes.

Just finished watching the American Experience documentary on the Iran Hostage Crisis. Overall great, but thanks a lot, @PBS, for screwing us over and ignoring how Canada saved your diplomats' asses. Seems you guys always forget the favors we do you... 🙄
international.gc.ca/gac-amc/histor… And I get that the focus was on THE hostages, but if you had all that time (and you did an excellent job in part 1) for explaining how the U.S. wrecked democracy in Iran, you could have spent 5 minutes on our help.

And WTF? No mention of Reagan's dirty dealing in the crisis?!!
