NYSE Blowing Bubble
In cities around the world, let’s drape ATMs with garlands, decorate them with flowers, crucifixes, votive candles, incense burners, little statues of the Virgin of Guadaloupe. Let’s surround them with mementos of all that we sacrifice in the struggle for economic survival: our time, our families, our freedom, our joy. Let’s dress up these ATMs with photos of friends and loved ones who took their own lives because they could no longer live with unemployment, homelessness, or hopelessness. Let’s adorn them with little postcards of Jesus whipping the moneylenders out of the temple, and visions of a better, fairer world. Let’s transform these soulless machines into symbols of the fight for a new kind of meaning . . . And after a while, those ATMs no longer belongs to the bank. They belong to us. We the People. The children of a dark future and the next-generation architects of salvation. Happy F**kitall Friday. Make mischief.

CBC Forced to Retract False UN Hamas Terror Claim
Victory! The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation backed down and issued their retraction on the evening news. On Tuesday, CBC News' The National claimed that “Hamas is labelled a terror group by the U.N.” Either the CBC had fired their fact-checkers or it was deliberate, because that claim was an outright lie. We launched a mini-campaign to get the CBC to retract their false claim about the UN and Hamas, and it looks like enough of you called, emailed, and otherwise badgered them that the CBC was forced to retract. Thanks to everyone who pitched in! It can feel hopeless, going up against media behemoths sometimes, and these victories are small, but in aggregate they make one hell of a difference. Every time the CBC has to retract an outright falsehood, they'll be that much more circumspect the next time they run a segment on Israel/Palestine. Keep their feet to the fire!

CBC rejects ad calling out journalistic double standard.
REJECTED by CBC ! The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) rejected our 15-second spot criticizing them for their biased coverage of the Israel/Hamas war. They said their Advertising Standards Rulebook prohibited them from accepting “any advertisement that could place the CBC at the centre of a controversy or public debate.” Sounds like standard bureaucratic doublespeak. Let them know what you think of their journalistic double standard here: https://www.adbusters.org/#cbc-rejected

Ambulance in Gaza
The reality on the ground in Gaza is ethnic cleansing. Netanyahu's goal is not destroying Hamas. His goal is destroying Palestinian resistance. And as long as a single Palestinian exists. There will be resistance. Boycott, divest, and sanction (#BDS) Israel and #FreePalestine. #CeasefireNow #Gaza #Palestine #Israel #Hamas

What happens when we ignore centuries of wisdom about how to care for our common home? The Yanomami are facing a crisis made by capitalism. Miners spreading disease, killing communities, and razing the common home that the Yanomami rely on to survive . . . and on which all of us rely. These are the stakes.
