"There was a feast once, and it became the Last Supper of my people.
And the world, indifferent, learned, self-satisfied, did not attend.
But it must remember. Because if it does not, then we, the living, will have died for nothing, and the dead will have died twice."

This is the kind of poetry that should never have had to be written. Tweet from Gaza doctor Dr. Ezzideen (@ezzinggaza).
Two years ago, on a Friday that now stands outside of time, my father prepared a feast. It was meant to honor life, my graduation, my return, the promise of a future. The table was full, not only with food, but with faith: the quiet, unspoken faith that tomorrow would exist. How easily we believe in continuity, in the mercy of another morning. We gathered as one family, laughing, speaking over one another, breaking bread with careless joy, pouring juice into glasses as though it were the wine of peace itself. Each gesture was a prayer, though none of us knew it. My father’s hands moved as Christ’s once did, blessing the bread, dividing it among those he loved. And somewhere, though no one could name it, there hung in the air that same fragile foreboding that filled the upper room in Jerusalem, when love spoke its last words before betrayal. The air trembled with that kind of happiness which only later reveals itself as farewell. And then, silence. The silence that only the dead can teach. When I look now at the photographs, I see the faces of the condemned, though they did not know it. More than half of them are gone, devoured by what men call war and what truth calls murder. The homes that once contained our breathing, our prayers, our smallest tenderness, crushed. The gardens that smelled of oranges and evening, erased. I walk in memory as one walks through ruins, touching the stones of vanished laughter. October 7 was not the birth of a war; it was the death of illusion. On that day, history tore itself open, and the wound has not closed. It bleeds through every surviving soul. And in that blood I see not only the crime of one nation against another, but the crime of humanity against itself, the old, endless betrayal that men repeat while invoking God. If justice still exists, it must weep. If God still looks upon this earth, He must avert His eyes. This day should be marked forever, not as an event of politics, but as a revelation of the human abyss. Let every flag descend into silence. Let every tongue fall still. Because what was taken from us was not only life, but the very rhythm of being alive, the rustle of bread torn by a father’s hand, the sound of a child laughing before she learns what grief is. They took from us the ordinary, and left us with eternity. And yet, I remain. I, who ate with them, who still taste that bread in my mouth as though it were guilt itself. I live, and I do not know why. Perhaps only to remember. Perhaps only to tell the world that history is not written in treaties or speeches, but in the trembling of hands that once passed a dish across a table, in the laughter that did not know it was bidding farewell to the world. There was a feast once, and it became the Last Supper of my people. And the world, indifferent, learned, self-satisfied, did not attend. But it must remember. Because if it does not, then we, the living, will have died for nothing, and the dead will have died twice. #GazaGenocide

It pains me to say it, but if the US is serious about "taking over" Greenland, then it is at least as great as security threat to Western Europe as Russia is.

And should be treated accordingly.

Nothing funny about a settler colonial nation threatening to invade an Indigenous People who have been "claimed" by a colonial nation. The ones who lose in this scenario are always going to be Indigenous.

Israel broke the ceasefire again by bombing northern Gaza yesterday, killing a 5-year-old girl and her uncle. It has been violating the ceasefire almost every day since it went into effect.

Israel must be held to account for its ceasefire violations.

🔴 West Bank | January 5, 2026 Israeli forces carried out raids, assaults, and arrests across multiple West Bank areas on Monday, triggering clashes in Nablus and al-Khalil (Hebron), according to the Palestine Information Center. According to the report, in Nablus, troops stormed Beit Furik, firing tear gas and chasing local youth. In al-Khalil (Hebron), confrontations followed an Israeli raid on Halhul, north of the city. West of Ramallah, Israeli forces arrested a man and his two sons in Beitunia and seized motorcycles, while homes were raided in al-Mughayyir and Silwad. In Jericho, three Palestinians were arrested in Fasayil amid the use of stun and gas grenades. In Shuafat refugee camp in occupied Jerusalem, a child, Adham Abu Mayala, suffered facial burns after gas canisters were fired toward his home. Additional raids and fines were reported near Jerusalem, including at the Jaba checkpoint and in Bir Nabala. 🎥 Video: Occupation forces carrying out raids on the Shuafat refugee camp north of occupied Jerusalem.

A question for @mark-carney.bsky.social:

What's your red line? What would make you defend int'a law & condemn illegal US actions?

✖️ violations of the UN Charter
✖️ #ICC sanctions
✖️ threats against Greenland & Canada
✖️ genocide in Gaza
✖️ Israeli annexation of West Bank

So, what is it?

Sincere question and I hope we can make a safe place for this discussion, are there people out there who feel like they don't know how to get involved and make a difference?

What do you feel like the barriers are for you getting involved in organizing?

Have you tried and failed?

Aaron Brown, who used the Red Deer supervised consumption site since it opened in 2018, sued the province to keep it open.

The judge said he couldn’t prove his right to safery was infringed. She allowed it to close.

He recently had a near-fatal overdose.
www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/3892dc4...
His case was dismissed by Court of King’s Bench Justice Debra Yungwirth last August, who concluded Mr. Brown was unable to prove that his rights had been violated. She said the government did not have a constitutional obligation to fund specific health services and that alternative resources were available to him.

The era of "respect" for Indigenous rights is pretty much over. It was largely just lip service anyway through the rhetoric of "reconciliation" and all that, but we're back to normalization of raw force again with threats of "or else" being made more explicit. The overton window is shifting fast
