Work w/ ppl to make their corner of the world a better place. Communications, community + how they connect.

@Joe_Sanfelippo Reliable, never messy, and just that little bit of comfort. Ummm, coincidentally also good things to seek in humans.

Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him seriously… because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their “Day One” period to consolidate their power. (After all, if you’re hellbent on staying in power but aren’t likely to win the next election, you can’t have your political opponents running around free.)

To keep fascism out of our lives, vote for democracy!

Uncovering the unseen: What the world isn't seeing about Gaza's ongoing man-made humanitarian crisis.

1/8 The devastation in Gaza is overwhelming—bombed hospitals, buried children, and yet the world remains largely numb. Since May, we have seen countless images of innocent lives torn apart, hoping that one would finally ignite global outrage. But that moment hasn't come yet. #Gaza_life_matters

10 students forever marked absent. 10 grieving families. 10 empty desks. 1, 10, 172 - how many is too many for our lawmakers to FINALLY take action?! On Sept 13th, we pay tribute to the more than 170 victims of gun violence in our K-12 schools since Columbine. #NoMoreEmptyDesks

I’ve been a hospital chaplain now for eight years at hundreds of deathbeds. I want to tell you something I’ve witnessed.

Most people, at the end, realize they’ve spent a lot of their life hiding. Sometimes by choice, or because they could not safely choose to be themselves. ➡️

[Jann “stop live horse export” Arden @jannarden]

—it’s a new day— and I honestly believe in good people doing good things. People that kick ass, stir up trouble in all the right ways- stand up- using their voices- supporting and lifting and encouraging and building community. There are fierce souls in this world! Find them!

Understanding recent Canadian history and working towards towards Truth and Reconciliation demands we listen to these stories, and feel with our whole being the impact those experiences continue to have. We have so much to learn and do. Every day.

Some great ideas on supporting our health care system, being safe, and living with COVID. We need leadership that’s willing to think differently and consider all options.

LIVING WITH COVID, a 🧵

Since covid isn’t going away (thanks to a series of poor choices over the last 2 years), it’s time to brainstorm what a real exit strategy might look like because “living with covid means accepting more deaths” doesn’t work for me. We can do better.

Listening to elders this morning-to paraphrase:‘Alongside truth…please share stories of Indigenous resistance, persistence,resilience,brilliance,and joy. Our kids need and deserve this in classrooms ❤️’ I could not agree more -we are more than our collective traumas #pride #hope

What, was that “The cheese rolled off the cracker with that guy” ??? Just when you think there’s no point half listening to a press conference you get a gem like that. #onpoli
