Israel continues to block food and critical aid from entering Gaza. Netanyahu’s intention is to “change the terms of the ceasefire negotiations” by starving the people of Gaza, says former executive director of Human Rights Watch @KenRoth.

Dear Albertans, This openly hostile attack on Nate Pike & the Breakdown should be unacceptable to each and every one of us. The participation of media (whether against/for any political party) is the cornerstone of democracy. This is pure censorship. #abpoli podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

Black history is only offensive if you side with enslavers, segregationists, and other racists. It slaps if you have morality.

Hundreds of protesters gather outside Children’s Hospital Los Angeles to demand it roll back restrictions on transgender care for youth:

Hey America, given that the CDC's Guide to Taking a Sexual History has been removed from its website, feel free to use this open-access one instead. It is scheduled to be updated, but has the essential elements: learnfm.ucalgary.ca/wp-content/u... I'm sorry the CDC seems to be being erased.

When I vote in the next provincial election, I’m going to vote for the families I see in clinic that can’t access disability services, school supports for their children, affordable housing, timely healthcare. I won’t forget how much my patients are suffering. #ableg

#USA: Attacks on reproductive health will have devastating consequences worldwide. There are deadly consequences anytime access to sexual and reproductive health care is restricted.
