Madleen proves that Gaza is closer to us than Israel wants it to be. Israel seeks to keep Gaza distant, isolated, and inaccessible. Yet Madleen shows that you don't have to be a superpower to reach Gaza. All it takes is the will and courage to stand against tyranny and injustice.

One of the things that really weighs on me is that the smoke pretty much always gives me a flare, even when my meds are working well. Those of us with autoimmune diseases are often like the canaries in the coal mine: we react earlier to conditions that are detrimental to all of us.

Since police are relegating protesters to designated zones and secretly mass-harvesting social media posts in contravention of privacy law, a physical smokescreen is a pretty perfect metaphor. drugdatadecoded.ca/calgary-poli...

This is a bad joke — and goes way beyond anything necessary to move good projects forward in Canada. Write you MP and tell them so. #cdnpoli #BillC5

According to data from Alberta's Energy Regulator, there are nearly 200,000 "dormant" (or non-producing) wells across Alberta. New research shows that methane emissions from these dormant wells are seven times higher than govt estimates. phys.org/news/2025-06... #ABLeg #ABPoli

It is a small but an important tendency to learn to pause when hearing a scary headline about this regime and ask: What gives them the authority to do this?

NEW: Paramount, California is a battleground right now. Riot police are using tear gas and what sounds like flash bangs/stun grenades against those protesting ICE’s deportation raids. Clearly some injuries (at 45 secs here). (🎥Credit: KNX News)

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

Welp #yyc, the smoke has now blown towards us. We had a good run. Wear a KN95 or better and run those air filters. Smoke is no joke! And Godspeed to my fellow “unsafe inside, unsafe outside” comrades. Make sure you stay hydrated when you can. It’s a slog 🫂

Btw, Kat was warning everybody about rightwing Dem donors calling LGBTQ and non-white Americans "The Groups" — and using that term to start throwing marginalized people under the bus — THREE (3!) months ago! This was before she was running. It is crazy how prescient this is.

It’s official: Texas bills targeting solar and wind power are dead. Here's a recap of the arguments that worked, as the renewable energy industry tries the same appeals to lobby against Trump's "big, beautiful bill." www.houstonchronicle.com/business/ene...
