When I saw the disgusting "trump Gaza" video this morning, the bile rose to my throat. I won't share it. Instead, help me promote this counter narrative by Tala, from Gaza. "Gaza is not yours to take. Gaza is ours, and we are still here. This is our land." BRAVO to her strength and DEFIANCE. 🥹💪

WOW! Turnout in today's German election is estimated to be 83-84%!!! Highest since 1990. Maybe Ontario will hit 50% this week? We must figure out how to increase the participation rate significantly. Do your bit and VOTE on Thursday if you didn't already. Check out LondonGreens.ca/platform. #ldnont

"We have seen Governor Pritzker lead during Covid. We have seen him lead on criminal justice reform. We know what it looks like when the governor provides leadership on pressing issues. The people of Illinois need to see that same leadership for its children." abc7.ws/3Quis3t

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Andy Borowitz: Ann Telnaes, Pulitzer-winning WaPo cartoonist, resigned after her editor killed a cartoon of Jeff Bezos and billionaires groveling to Trump. Obedience to fascism is rising: WaPo spiked Harris endorsements, Disney paid Trump $15M, and Joe/Mika embarrassed themselves at Mar-a-Lago.

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish. Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part. Who’s with me?
