World leaders need to look to Spain right now. I am so exhausted hearing about polite, calm diplomacy in the face of two countries starting illegal wars, lying about it, murdering children, and committing genocide in plain sight. It's shameful. I can't stop thinking about the Iranian girls' school.
Hi all. It's a beautiful day in Salt Lake City and I'm looking forward to RootsTech 2026.

1/ PM Carney: you can and must categorically rule out participation in this illegal war.
Your unqualified support of Trump and Netanyahu’s war was bad enough. It’s unconscionable that you’re now considering putting Canadian forces in harm’s way.
My strongly held belief is that the rapture isn’t real and people should stop trying to make it happen.
Is it really so hard for Mark Carney to say something like this instead of constantly defending US breaches of international law?

Dear union stewards. Don’t you fucking dare. Don’t do it.

Fuck this and everyone who helped get things to this point. Trans rights are human rights—full stop.
I'm on my first prednisone taper after recently being diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis and it's been not very fun. If you know me in person, I'm sorry if I've come across as grumpy or moody lately. I feel less resilient to everyday stress, and my anxiety and depression are heightened.

Reading people. Body language. Knowing how to connect with people totally unlike you and with different backgrounds and beliefs. Defusing tense situations. Gaining trust. High endurance, pain tolerance, and work ethic. Reaction time. Prioritizing order of execution. Anticipating people’s needs. Tons

The blockade on Cuba is unconscionable.
It is a travesty that Andrew Wakefield and all those who promoted him have not been pulled apart by horses

CANADA / CUBA: Solidarity with the Cuban people cupe.ca/solidarity-c...
Mark Carney said that Canada is "considering" sending aid to Cuba.
Before COVID, one million Canadians visited Cuba every year. Their convertavle peso is pegged to the Canadian Dollar. I argue that we need to send fuel and supplies ASAP, regardless of Trump.

Since 2020 @derekberes.bsky.social @julianwalker.bsky.social and @matthewremski.bsky.social tried to sound the alarm bells about basically everything that’s happening now.
As much as anyone, they saw it all coming.
honestly tired of trying to convince people that trump's immigration policy is not really about violent undocumented immigrants or even just undocumented immigrants, but immigrants in general and even non-white people more broadly.
The response to the #TumblerRidgeShooting from far-right media, online commentators and even an elected official in Canada is another dark example of how pervasive anti-trans misinformation has become, even in Canada.

You deserve access to abortion care if you are pregnant and do not want to be. Full stop.
Your reasons are your reasons and they are good enough.
Abortion is healthcare and everyone deserves healthcare access.
Woke up this morning thinking of Tumbler Ridge and what a difficult day it will be for them.There, here and across the Canada, in the days ahead, parents, teachers, counsellors and others will making space and time for kids to process this. Thanks to those doing this care work. 💜 #TumblerRidge
The homepage for the Canadian letters and images project. It shows soldiers posing for a photograph and there is a search bar in the centre. In the about section below, which cannot be seen in this image, it provides this information: The Canadian Letters and Images Project, created in 2000, is an online digital archive of the Canadian war experience, both home front and battlefront, from any conflict in which Canadians have participated. The focus of the project is on the personal materials of participants, such as letters and photographs, which permit us to experience the war through their eyes and their words. These are very often the stories of ordinary Canadians, largely forgotten and overlooked. Our mission is to digitally preserve and continue to make freely accessible this important part of Canada’s heritage for this generation and future generations. The vision of the project is to continue to expand this repository of Canadian archival materials by collaborating with Canadians to preserve and share the individual and collective stories that have shaped our past Accessibility to the past is key to understanding who we are as a nation. We are committed to free access for everyone to the materials of the project.

Just like Haiti, the American elites can never forgive countries that rise up against their oppressors. Decades of embargos and sanctions have done nothing but punish the population of Cuba for implicitly supporting the revolution.
