Progressive. Never Conservative. Science, climate change, wealth inequality. Woke. Proud Canadian born in Yellowknife now happily vaxxed in Toronto. Need more nice. Like science esp. astronomy, news, reading everything but mostly SFF, horror, mystery.

Anyone else having flashbacks to the Iraq War when we were (correctly) convinced there was no legal basis for invasion & a million of us marched through the streets of London to protest?

Who’d a thunk quarter of a century later they’d have a President who makes Dubya look like Neville Chamberlain?

As a lil update, I'm giving myself the day off tomorrow because of all this.

I need some rest after being on the phone with police all day today and dealing with this bullshit until way too late last night.

So, I'm really sorry, but no podcast this week :(

I hope you guys don't mind ❀️

New York City protests reflect contrasting response to US military strikes against Iran Protestors at Columbus Circle say they don't want war with Iran, saying it will destabilize the region, put Americans in danger and be incredibly costly.

Anti-war protests held in about 40 U.S. cities on Monday. "[The protesters represent] a loose coalition of about 30 different groups…. The groups all have different focuses, but they say they agree that going to war with Iran is a mistake." [photo shows pro-war protest] abc7ny.com/post/us-iran...
