Trying
Everything in my head is so messed up that I don't even know what to deal with first.

It's like my brain has turned to mush, like a tire worn bare and trying to drive on ice, or a gear stripped smooth and just spinning in place.

Energy, but no action. Desire, but no drive.

The Bondi Beach shooting in Australia, targeting the Jewish community at a Hanukkah celebration is a horrific act of antisemitic terrorism

My heart goes out to everybody who was targeted or witnessed this terror & the global Jewish community that undoubtedly feels that fear in themselves today too

Given how much of people's traumas are caused by other traumatized people, what could society look like with universal mental health and therapy coverage?

I'm sure that one of Trump's oligarch buddies buying CNN will be great for America's democracy!

Protests are a vital part of democracy; one of the greatest tools the public has outside of voting in elections.

Understandably, people might be upset about the impacts that protests may have, but a protest with no impact is hardly a protest at all.

The origin of wealth is in poverty; for some to have more than others, others must have less. The greater the degree of wealth, the greater the degree of poverty.

As a Canadian, I would rather send billions in tax dollars to #Ukraine and sacrifice a bit here at home than to allow a bully like Putin to get away with occupation & annexation.

The same goes for any free peoples around the world. We stand together or we fall alone.

My friends in #America,

As a Canadian watching everything unfolding south of our border, I have to ask a favour, something everybody can do. I need you to look into what would be required for you to leave the country for 6-12 months, if it becomes necessary.

You know who should decide if the #EpsteinFiles are released? The victims in them. If they've passed, let their immediate families decide. Otherwise, release them all!

Every single person mentioned in the Trump/Epstein files should be interrogated by every nation they are connected to, with all evidence shared, as part of an international cooperative investigation

Lock them ALL up! Nobody who committed a crime against a child or helped to hide it should walk free

Can I ask the #MentalHealth, #psychology, and #spirituality peoples a question?

How does one (re)connect with their emotions, but especially their wants and desires, after decades of suppressing them?

#Autism, #ADHD, #depression, #anxiety, and a deeply conservative upbringing make murky work

Growing up as a Conservative, I always heard that the left was about "me, me, me" & that it was all focused on an individual's selfish rights instead of responsibilities

Since I stepped out of the church & became more engaged with people & communities on the left, I've seen just how wrong that was

America,
If you're not ready for a full universal healthcare program, please at least implement one for children.

Those formative years are so important and set the stage for the rest of their lives. It also gives you a chance to test it for the rest of you too.

Love,
A concerned Canadian 🇨🇦

Trump and his "peace plan" have failed. It's past time for the United Nations & its member states to send in an independent team of peacekeepers to ensure conflict is halted, humanitarian aid flows freely, & investigators and journalists are able to properly document what has happened.

If I am to err, let me err towards humanity, towards empathy, towards compassion

If I am to err, let me err towards charity, towards solidarity, towards cooperation

If I am to err, let me err towards peace, towards truth, towards justice

When I am to err—for I am to err—let me err towards good

My dear friends in #America, in these transformational times, what can we in #Canada, who believe in science, democracy, and human rights, do to support and assist you in your efforts to achieve a safe and prosperous future for all?

This Canadian Thanksgiving, I'm giving thanks for being Canadian!

News orgs need to start putting reporters' questions on the screen and leave them up until they're answered. Make it blindingly obvious when Trump goes off on another rant or a politician decides to evade questions

I saw a picture of Obama this morning and couldn't help but wonder what a Mark Carney, Barack Obama, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo North America would look like.

Watching the actions of the oligarchs, the Trumps, the Putins, and the Netanyahus of this world, it's easy to feel hopeless, like a lone candle against a vast night.

There's word now that Israel has tortured the volunteers from the humanitarian aid flotilla to Gaza. Apparently they especially focused on Greta Thunberg.

Should elected representatives' campaign platforms be treated as a form of contract with the public that they have an obligation to? What are your thoughts?

Elected representatives are elected to represent the people.

Not themselves. Not their donors. Not business. Not the government.

Everything else must stem from that, be rooted in that, be focused on that.

Anything else is a violation of their duties to the people.
