I think you have to. Which is also exactly what #BigOil funded #Fascism wants. I don't know what else you do but I do know there's a majority In America & all over the world that wants better & politics as usual doesn't even speak the language

Republican and maga inspired violence is growing. The judge who ruled south carolina should NOT turn over its voting databases to the DOJ had her house burnt. Stephen Miller, chief advisor to the president rails against federal judges, calling them left-wing enemies. #ACLU #Protectdemocracy.

What’s about to happen with #affordablecareact premiums. 👇People cannot afford this $$$ increase which means they will be forced to drop health coverage. Trump, Vought, RFK, Oz are willing to kill working class americans. #healthforall

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Arizona State lawmaker calls for @RepPamilaJayapal to be hanged and then corrects that and says she should be shot by a firing squad. How’s that going Republicans to lower the rhetoric on violence? Where are the statements of outrage and condemnation? #ResistanceLab sign up for the training.

The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence.

This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less.

Our leaders can decide whether they stand with the people or with ICE. There is no middle ground.

There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY eating meat is the biggest problem with the climate movement. #stopfossilfuels #oilsubsidies #divest #fossilfree #makepolluterspay ( i don’t eat meat and am a 15 yr climate action campaigner).

Dr. Genevieve Guenther (she/they) @doctorvive.bsky.social · 4d

Until people in the climate movement very publicly stop eating meat and flying, we're not going to seem trustworthy.

Meat is a blind spot for people who care about climate. When I used to have dinner with my colleague Wally Broecker, the climate scientist who coined the term “global warming”, he would always order a steak.

As others, including Ireland, rush to help their citizens involved with the flotilla, here’s what Canada’s government told me of the six Canadians on board:

“The Government of Canada is not able to guarantee the safety of Canadian travelers, or to provide them with security and protection abroad.”

Screenshot of an email.

Hi Rachel, We will get back to you asap. Thanks,

In a follow up:

Please see our response:
The Government of Canada is not able to guarantee the safety of Canadian travelers, or to provide them with security and protection abroad. The decision to travel is personal, and individuals are responsible for their own safety abroad. Global Affairs Canada (GAC) advises Canadians avoid all travel to Palestine due to the ongoing military operations in the Gaza Strip and the unpredictable security situation in the West Bank. More information is available on our travel advice webpage.
While the Goverment of Canada has no plans to accompany the flotilla, this does not in any way detract from Canada's position that humanitarian assistance into Gaza must be immediately scaled-up to address the catastrophic humanitarian situation. We continue to urge Israel to allow the immediate entry of UN-coordinated humanitarian assistance, via land crossings, into and throughout Gaza.
Since October 2023, Canada has committed more than $400 million in international assistance in response to the current crises in Palestine.
The immediate priority must be a ceasefire in Gaza, the release of all hostages, and a sustained influx in UN-led humanitarian aid. Canada is committed to continue
