Hi Mathieu. Sorry I missed your call. I was on a mission: getting to food!

I hope you had a good run; beautiful out there this morning.

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

“It's really quite repulsive that Palestinians have had to negotiate an end to their genocide,” says Palestinian human rights attorney Diana Buttu.

Can I also say I am so angry today. It's the lives lost, the cities wiped out, the time taken from us. We have been consumed with this level of unspeakable violence for 2 years. To think of all the potential futures taken away... it's unfathomable

No bomb should’ve ever dropped on a single civilian, a single child.

If this is the end of them I’m glad.

But the loss is so so immense and the future so uncertain.

What does “peace” mean when it sits atop a genocide? What peace when the genocider dictates its terms?

Police in Airdrie, Alberta (just north of Calgary) say this driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of the vehicle, and appeared to get upset at the teenager before driving away.

They released this video and are now trying to identify the driver.

Sam and I just enjoyed the view of it returning by bike from the grocery store.

“Under international law, states have a legal obligation to prevent and to stop a genocide from happening.

“That means ending complicity, applying real pressure and ending arms transfers. We are not seeing that, we are not even seeing the bare minimum from our governments.”

~ Greta Thunberg

“Let me be very clear; there is a genocide going on in front of our very eyes, a live-streamed genocide on all of our phones.

“No-one has the privilege to say we are not aware of what is happening. No-one is the future will be able to say we did not know.

"There's no serious argument that what the Trump administration has done here is legal.

“It basically amounts to the president of the United States handing out a licence to kill."

Canada has a responsibility under the UN Arms Trade Treaty to assess whether defence exports could be used to violate human rights overseas.

"I think the immediate response should be to fix the loopholes in Canada's national control regime […]”

“The Palestinian cause is not a cause for Palestinians only, but a cause for every revolutionary, wherever he is, as a cause of the exploited and oppressed masses in our era.”

The words of Ghassan Kanafani’s are heard today at Calgary’s Rally and March for Palestine.
A Flag of Palestine is suspended against a clear blue sky from a hand-held pole. The tops of Calgary landmarks — old City Hall and Castell Building — appear in the background.

Here’s the old hinge fully tightened. While subtle, it’s cooked.

"This genocide happened because the world didn’t care enough to stop it […] It’s openly incited, cynically denied, and relentlessly supported, armed, and weaponized, while those who oppose it are silenced, beaten, criminalized, and smeared."

A line of bikes and riders roll along the Glenmore Pathway. It is dark, but head lights show the way, and red taillights are prominent in the photo. Bikes are settled in place with lights on. People are scattered about socializing during a break. Dark tree silhouettes fill out the background. A dark pathway is lit only by a bicycle head lamp. Trees with pale park are lit from ground to below their canopy.
