I wrote in before the show started .... did you? It seems a lot of people did... so glad to see this. Links to the show in the article

I was on those protest lines and am so glad to see justice happening at long last here

No One Knows How This Will End (But I Do Not Think It Will End Well for Them) I can sum up the Trump/Musk/Vance theory of power in five words: "We have power; you don't." Alternative version in six words: "we can do anything we want." They seem to believe that nothing is really...

this blog is certainly interesting and helpful taking a reflective position on Trump's chaos machine

Stop Project 2025 Comic Trump's Project 2025 is a detailed plan to shut you up, and shut you out. Don’t let it do either. Read on, then vote.

YouTube video by Sandi Bachom (DOCUMENTARY) TRUE BELIEVERS AT THE INSURRECTION: From Charlottesville To The Capitol 12/13/23

I spent nine hours at the Capitol insurrection alone. I made a documentary. My film was used by the #January6thcommittee and in the second impeachment trial. Please watch it before it is erased from history.

yup .... and in the states, a CBS meteorologist was fired for talking about this salute during his weather report

CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) has provided real-time data and analysis about disease outbreaks and emerging health threats without a break every week since 1960.

Until today.

well, at least there's a couple of things he can't mess with #GoodNews

I appreciate why those appalled by the attack on Congress January 6, 2021, emphasize the violence against police that day. Trump supporters and fellow-travelers will concede that violence against police is wrong - even if they hedge with many "what abouts?" 1/x

and so it begins .... at warp speed.

Trump Angered by Female Bishop’s Stunning Criticism Right to His Face As the Bishop of Washington irks Trump with a sermon calling for “mercy” toward immigrants, a leading immigration advocate reflects on whether decency can effectively combat authoritarian cruelty.

"What are the prospects for appeals to decency and humanity, such as this one, to combat the rising cruelty and authoritarianism that Trump is set to unleash? . "

Looking forward to this new podcast. The events are focused on Great Britain's Conservatives, but you gotta know its happening in Canada too

First they came for the journalists ...

a timely review

thanks Rachel, this is great. It helps to start the year with some good laughs 🙏

I found it helpful to hear interviews with T supporters who voted for him because he was "going to blow up the establishment". It seems they are getting their wish ... wonder when regret will set in?

that's a great observation. I wish I knew some HCWs personally, I would definitely ask them

I'd love to be part of that. I'm living in flooding prone Matsqui at the moment, just moved here from the Koots where fires were an ever present concern. Having a "go bag" has simply become part of my life now

We Interrupt This Mood of Denial to Update COVID’s Threat | The Tyee Recent studies on long COVID and more show why, beyond vaccines, masks and air filters remain vital.

so many people I know are ill right now & so many viral illnesses are airborne. I use raingear when it's raining, and #maskup when the air is full of things that will make me ill. It simply makes sense.

I first saw this meme 3 years ago and saw it again today. It is even more true now than it was then

stay safe everyone, breathe clean air and mask up when clean air is not available 🙏

Karim Wafa Al-Hussaini @DrKarimWafa Gaza has gas. Sudan has gold. Congo has cobalt. Haiti has limestone. Afghanistan has copper. West Papua has crude oil. Every nation suffering from some form of genocide or intense suffering is attractive in the eyes of the western imperial machine of consumer capitalism.

The root causes of climate change and environmental destruction include colonialism, racism, and capitalism.

If you care about climate change, you should be speaking up about Gaza.

the rulers in Israel have become that which they despise. Genocide is wrong no matter who is inflicting it on whom

This is a well balanced and extensive look at the Israelis war on Gaza encompassing past, present & implications for the future

Very ironic & tragic. Extraction industries are heavily involved too. Google Ben Gurion canal. Gaza sits on virgin oil & gas & Israel wants it. But there's people in the way ....

theres no question that Hamas is the militia which zionist Israel loves to hate. They may very well help Hamas with one hand while destroying with the other simply to maintain the tension they need to justify invasion. They create the oppression Hamas needs to survive but did not create the militia

I really don't think Israel 'created' Hamas. HAMAS–the acronym for Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiya (Islamic Resistance Movement)—is the largest and most capable militant group in the Palestinian territories and one of the territories' two major political parties. Militia groups arise from oppression

wow ... the bias is huge here

Hamas is a militia not a recognized army. And no one under the age of 36 voted for Hamas to govern them. Palestine does not equal Hamas. Genocide is wrong no matter who is doing it 🙏

I believe Israel is currently fighting a civilian militia not another country's army. This changes the rules of engagement significantly. Palestine /Gaza is not a recognized country. It is an illegally occupied territory...occupied by a country engaging in ethnic cleansing
