If North America wants to get off the settler colonial hamster wheel, & actually start solving our collective issues, this is the first thing that would need to happen.
The standard settler mindset of never admitting wrongs, never participating in being accountable, is the fast track to collapse

Case point for non natives: this is spotted knapweed, a Eurasian plant. It is one of the main flowers in bloom, right now. European honey bees are all over it - with a scattering of other native pollinators. Native wasps, bees, flies and butterflies are all over the native flowers. Huge difference

Twice-stabbed stink bugs!
I grew a tonne of anise hyssop from seed this year, it's been pulling in a lot of bugs. With the exception of the butterfly bush, native plants attract so much more life. Excited to see how my new Jersey tea shrubs do compared to butterfly bushes (similar flowers)

A very ragged Canadian Tiger Swallowtail showed up, this weekend. This is a first time sighting, for me

Video shows a blanket knitted by Irish activists as a tribute to Palestinian children killed in Gaza.
Each square of the blanket represents 10 of the nearly 19,000 children killed by Israeli forces in the besieged enclave.

How hard is it to understand that genocide does not have levels of bad. It is an absolute. Gaza was already decimated under Biden and Harris, and Harris committed to continuing support for a genocide.
Pretending that is okay, or something people should overlook is vile.

Never trust the Liberals. They are a neoliberal right wing party that cosplays being on the left. They trick Canadians into voting for them using “better than Cons” when they in fact have the exact same values as the Conservatives.

Doug Ford is getting rid of the democratically elected school board trustees so he can erode public education further. Guillotine.
Why is Doug Ford focusing on Convenience Store Week and highlighting large corporations instead of focusing on independent business owners and the chronically underfunded education system set to open next week? #ontario #onpoli #dougford #onted #frankdomenic🍁

Four journalists were killed by an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital today, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer with the @apnews.com. She has a 12-year-old son, who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war.
She was a true hero, like all of our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza.

"Now that it is too late, it’s no longer forbidden to use the word “genocide” in polite company. Now, as Gazans starve, as they are shot by soldiers from the Israel Forces while seeking food aid at sites run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the world has decided it is, after all, “against this.”
