These amazing 🇨🇦 women risked everything to deliver baby formula to starving babies!

Sadie Mees, Devoney Ellis, Nikita Stapleton, Dr. Suzanne Shoush, & Mskwaasin Agnew are Canadians who have been kidnapped by Israel from the flotilla.

Tell @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social to help bring them home.

Meanwhile, can you do something (or say a word) to help the Canadian women from the Flotilla held hostage by Israel military?

To be clear - finally - escaped asylum seekers from insane asylums, in Venezuela or elsewhere, are not welcome in the US and should go back to where they come from. Nothing new under the sky.

A Kyiv Harmonia orchestra has created a musical overture titled "Shahed" (russian drone).

It freaked me out because of how believable it is.

Don’t you EVER call Republicans ‘pro-life’ when every choice they make is about death.

This graphic is a simple and effective explanation of gerrymandering. Both Republicans and Democrats do it. Democrats want a fairer system. Republicans don’t. And thankfully, Democrats won’t unilaterally disarm.
We need better system.

Just in case you were still wondering whether or not the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under Trump is deliberately and aggressively undermining the protection of the environment, and threatening our present/future.

The devotion to Trump is not intellectual – it’s emotional. He makes racist, sexist white people feel good about being racist and sexist. They’ll support a treasonous sexual predator if he makes them feel better about themselves. I don’t know how we can get those people to grow a conscience.

Tonight, I will vote to block arms sales to Israel amid the famine in Gaza.

Starving children and innocent civilians to death is a moral atrocity that cannot abide the conscience of those who believe in human dignity.

The Netanyahu administration must change course.

STEWART: “I feel like I’m watching something so self-evidently inhumane and horrific and to be told I have to shut up because I risk the Jewish state by speaking out? I would say the opposite — they’re putting the likelihood of a surviving Jewish state much more at risk.”
