The left map shows the parts of Germany with the highest percentage of Syrian refugees. The right map shows public support for the anti-migrant AfD. Something to keep in mind when reading stories that posit a direct link between refugee numbers and support for the far-right.

As you head to the polls, remember: 1. Doug Ford failed to end hallway medicine like he promised. 2. Over 2.3 million Ontarians have no family doctor. 3. In 2022, Doug gave 43 MPPs a $16000 raise & froze nurses’ wages at 1% increase for years. Doug cannot be trusted #onpoli

Here’s the thing — when a politician shows they can be bought & will sell out the public interest for their self-interest… and that they’ll easily lie when lives will be endangered & cities will be hurt…you know you can’t ever trust them. Every scandal has shown you can’t trust Doug Ford, Ontario.

I’m seeing a lot of people frame the threat to the 504 only in terms of affecting education and kids with IEPs. It affects EVERYONE. From curb cuts to access to government buildings to sign language interpreters in disasters to accessible medical facilities, it is a civil rights threat to ALL.

To every part of the world of every size having an election soon — Think really carefully before sitting it out, before thinking “they’re all the same,” before letting “the perfect” be the enemy of the rational & competent, and before assuming that “change” won’t end up being an absolute nightmare.

Democrats aren’t powerless against Trump’s blitzkrieg power-grab. Senate rules are designed to protect the rights of the minority and Democrats have tools at their disposal to grind Senate business to a halt if Republicans try to ram through Trump’s extremist agenda: indivisible.org/resource/how...

I've set up small monthly donations to Indivisible, the World Food Programme, and the ACLU. I encourage those who are able, especially those outside the US, to do the same. Indivisible and the ACLU are fighting the Trump/Musk administration; the WFP can mitigate effects of the closure of USAID.

Withholding foreign aid was what Trump was impeached for! The laws have not changed. But he wasn’t convicted so now he is doing it on a much greater scale!

Telehealth covered by Medicare is the only way I’m able to get much of my treatment right now. I physically cannot leave my home because I can’t use stairs anymore.
