I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

[Flyer with Sudan flag, QR code and speech bubble that says] Donate to Help People in Sudan: Not many people know, but there is a war in Sudan. Two military groups are fighting for power over the country, supported by various world powers. These military groups are Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF). While they have been battling over the country, 150,000 were killed and 13 million were displaced. The civilians have been through these hard times for almost 2 years now. The Sudan war is the worst humanitarian crisis on Earth. Donate to the civilians who are being hurt, killed and displaced now.

My 11 year old niece has a social awareness project for school, and she decided to do it on #Sudan.

She made this flyer, encouraging people to support all those affected. Scanning the QR code will take you to Sudan Solidarity Collective's donation page.

Selfie of Betsy wearing an N95 mask on the subway

Today on Long COVID Awareness Day, I want to remind my fellow "able bodied" folks that one of the best and easiest ways to be an ally to people with LC is to wear a high quality mask in public spaces. You make any space you're in just a bit safer by doing this.

Fight fascism with climate justice, not 'Canada First' nationalism Instead of turning towards nationalism, in the face of rising fascism, we should turn to each other and the planet.

“The answer to fascism isn’t more nationalism—it’s deeper democracy, stronger communities, empowered labour movements, and unwavering commitment to justice for all.” @erinblondeau.bsky.social 💯🔥
