@briantylercohen@sagesteele Canada doesn’t have laws about abortion or hip surgery or appendectomies. They’re medical procedures. (Abortion access is a different matter, but it’s not illegal). Wonder how many full-term abortions are happening with no medical reason?

first words Sonya Massey said at her front door were “don’t hurt me”
she was told “why would we hurt you, you called us”

So Hamas wants a ceasefire deal that includes an actual ceasefire, & Israel wants a “ceasefire” which it can break later, & yet the @nytimes blames Hamas for the “sticking point” and “major hurdle”, all within few lines apart.
Do they think we can’t read?
@Charlotte_Stein@popelizbet That is actually the reason? Nobody was going to the Good Place anymore because the scoring system made it impossible. Jason had a life of only bad choices available.
It is time Canada cut off all resources that are aiding the Israeli genocide in Gaza. Sign the petition to cut off the metals used to build weapons that kill Palestinian civilians and chiildren.
