Ok, that's probably enough for today. I'll be heading down to Marianne's Park in while with my candle.

Watching Israel destroy the land & waters of Gaza I am reminded of Tiffany Lethobo King's observation that the "defining feature of colonization is genocide, not settlement. Settlement comes later, after the land has been made empty"

The land remembers. And it won't forgive you

This happened today at Union Station

@ArnallLabrador I'm white, and a settler. My maternal grandparents literally settled on land up near Hearst. It's not racist, it isn't an insult, it's just what happened. I hope they didn't exemplify 'Settler', but it's possible.

@ArnallLabrador @wendy0 @Menzem I think flour ranger beats it, tbh.

Who killed them? Why is Canada aiding in killing them? Why is Canada helping commit genocide and ethnic cleansing?

[Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein]

Very very bad.

I'm not here much these days. I haven't bothered to put this app on my new phone, but check in once in a while on my computer. Interesting times, though, eh?

I don't even know what to say.

[Jay Burnt @JayBurn14]

Yup, seems so.

[Terrill Tailfeathers @Terrilltf]

Zionism is terrorism.

[Fatima 𓂆 فاطمة 🇵🇸 @fatimasal82]

When did the world get to the point that bombing hospitals was normal? Or schools? Or churches? Or mosques? Or refugee camps? Or ambulances? Or journalists? Or children? So many children. Does anyone even blink when they see this news?

[Joy Henderson (she/her) 🇵🇸 @Joyhenderson78]

This is a really good and important article to read for context on Zionist's shift to Indigeneity. Thanks to Simon for referencing it and to @Megan_Scribe for writing it.

@BrandonLBradfor 'If she'd asked, I would have with no question' ... there would have been questions.

[Jay Burnt @JayBurn14]

This.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

It's so surreal to get called the worst thing in the world for opposing the worst thing in the world. You oppose children being murdered by the thousands in Gaza and you'll get accused of harboring the same prejudices that led to the Holocaust. It makes you feel you're going mad.

[Jay Burnt @JayBurn14]

Yup. Genocide is wrong, and that shouldn't be too difficult to understand.

[Nora Loreto @NoLore]

"All of them had a similar rallying cry: Canada must stand should-to-shoulder with Israel as it confronts a militant group bent on destroying the Jewish state."

Sorry but this is a pro-genocide rally. Fascinting frame considering the deathtoll.

No. Zionism is not Land Back. It’s land theft.

[Joy Henderson (she/her) 🇵🇸 @Joyhenderson78]

Guys...you can't say you're Indigenous and destroy the land and water like this.

For many, it's clearly just a political construct, weaponized against Palestinians and supporters, but it's so much more.

You are literally poisoning the fresh water, the blood of your land.

[Birgit Umaigba-Omoruyi @birgitomo]

I don’t know who needs to hear this - nurses are continuing to work short-staffed to the point of burnout but Doug Ford is busy privatizing publicly funded healthcare.
- ERs are overcrowded with sick patients waiting countless hours in the hallway.
- We have several empty beds and equipment collecting dust in surgical wards while Doug and his crew fund OHIP-covered surgeries via private clinics.

How could anyone trust a government that’s under criminal investigation with the health and wellbeing of millions of Ontarians?

How far we have fallen. We are now asking the front runner of the GOP if he plans to be a dictator. And it’s a legitimate question.
