When I saw the disgusting "trump Gaza" video this morning, the bile rose to my throat.

I won't share it. Instead, help me promote this counter narrative by Tala, from Gaza.

"Gaza is not yours to take. Gaza is ours, and we are still here. This is our land."

BRAVO to her strength and DEFIANCE. 🥹💪

WOW! Turnout in today's German election is estimated to be 83-84%!!! Highest since 1990. Maybe Ontario will hit 50% this week?
We must figure out how to increase the participation rate significantly. Do your bit and VOTE on Thursday if you didn't already. Check out LondonGreens.ca/platform. #ldnont
