Welcome to the real 1984. It’s surreal, hard to believe what we’re seeing, but denying reality won’t change it. Fascism isn’t just here; it’s organized, empowered, and advancing fast. The global climate is perfect for it to grow: rising hate, economic decline, scarcity. How will #Canada defend us?

So many feel empowered and excited by fascism. 🤯 Fine. I accept that stupidity is widespread. Let’s patiently wait and see what the fascism cheerleaders will say when it’s their turn to suffer under the lawlessness and evil they helped manifest.

CNN reports that Israel has refused to release two abducted Palestinian doctors, renowned pediatrician Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and Dr. Marwan Al Hams, deliberately excluding them from the ceasefire and prisoner swap agreement.

A digital poster features two Palestinian doctors, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and Dr. Marwan Al-Hams, against a blurred background of destruction and smoke. Text at the top reads in bold yellow letters: “They are not coming home.” Below, in white and yellow text, it says: “Israel denies release of abducted Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and Dr. Marwan Al-Hams in deal.” Both men appear serious—Dr. Abu Safiya in a white medical coat, and Dr. Al-Hams in dark clothing with a stethoscope around his neck.

I know there are countless fires to put out right now, and no one has time to sit and wonder but seriously, what kind of society produces people this desperate? We need to ask ourselves that. And we need to fix it.

Exterminating people elsewhere while posing here with a kind heart. Have you seen what your police do to peaceful protesters? The genocide you support in Palestine and the fascism you fuel to make it all work will hopefully remind you itself every single day in various ways.🌍🔁 Get your act together.
