A cis Black woman was chased out of the women’s bathroom of the RUSD meeting in Riverside last Thursday for being a “transgender in the wrong bathroom” in case you hadn’t heard.

In case it was unclear where this was going all along.

Netanyahu isn’t from Palestine. He’s a white colonizer cosplaying as native. Israel was created by white European settlers. They have as much right to the land as the French had a right to Algeria. They are violent thieves. Zionism has no place in Palestine.

So many disabled people have been sounding the alarm on MAID for years, and no one has been listening. Both the state and society, facilitated by physicians and politicians and journalists, are using MAID as a pressure release valve to preserve resources, not lives.

So dangerous.
Wait time for a disabled person to access medically assisted death in Canada? 3 months

A specialist for TREATABLE conditions? 12-18 months

Affordable housing? Multiple years

Palliative care, psychiatric care & pain management? Good luck.

Israel killed 100 people in Gaza today. I listened to NPR this evening, and this wasn’t even reported in passing. There was even a report about an initiative to save endangered wolves somewhere, but no mention of the 100 people who were killed in less than 24 hours.

Of course they won’t say “Israel violates ceasefire 24 hours after implementation”
The Israeli military said on Saturday that it had struck several Hezbollah sites in Lebanon, keeping the country on edge over a fragile cease-fire, as its forces pressed on with their campaign in Gaza with little sign of letting up.
Israel Strikes Sites in Lebanon Amid Fragile Cease-Fire
As the truce appeared to largely hold, a deal appeared far away in Gaza, where an Israeli strike killed dozens, according to a rescue group.

Heart shattering to learn an Israeli drone has targeted and assassinated Mahmoud Almadhoun, one of the founders and chefs behind the Gaza Soup Kitchen.

What started as four pots and essential ingredients in Bait Lahia had grown into a remarkable effort to feed 3,000 people daily.
