Private lands are unreachable for First Nations. Public lands are accessible though, and the target of landback strategies. The NDP's plan will take the best pieces of OUR land and permanently alienate them from us by turning them into housing. www.ndp.ca/news/ndp-wil... 1

Jimmy Carter on Israel 🇮🇱 & Palestine 🇵🇸.

I was planning to stay offline this week, but I am too upset by how Christmas was the deadliest day yet for Palestinian journalists, five beautiful men killed by US-Israel: Fadi Hassouna, Ibrahim Al-Sheikh Ali, Mohammed Al-Ladah Faisal Abu Al-Qumsan and Ayman Al-Jadi—201 in total!!!

Zionists: “The ICC is anti-semitic” 94 year old Polish Jew and Nazi death camp survivor Theodor Meron was among the key advisor’s of international law experts that advised the Judges to issue arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant. The advisory report resulted in those warrants being granted.

The age group most killed during this ongoing genocide in Gaza are children aged 5-9 years old, confirmed by the United Nations. I don’t know if the many friendly and smiling children I met are still alive or not. Shame on us all for allowing this to happen and continue.

Please don’t turn a blind eye to this.

I think today is the day to share this again. Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility!

It's worth noting that Daily Bread can do FAR more with $20 one gives to them directly than $20 worth of Loblaws-priced-food. Cash allows them to: - buy exactly what's needed, not figure out how to use what was donated - buy in bulk from wholesalers. and cash never goes stale on the shelf.

Jon Glazer rocks, no qualifiers needed, gai cocknif en yom to all the zionists and cowards. to be honored by your peers for the power of your art is a triumph; to use that honor to speak plainly for the voiceless is a mitzvah.

Government testing of the BTNX covid tests we have in Ontario suggests they are prone to false negatives except when someone is "highly infectious." (The story covers many aspects of how we got here but the one I'm immediately concerned with is told in the last two columns of this chart.)

It is possible to think that the Israeli apartheid must end now, and that the bombing of Gaza is a war crime, and also think that Hamas indiscriminately murdering civilians is a war crime. It's not even a paradox or a logic puzzle, it's a basic consistent moral position.
