@JuliaHB1 @ailsybabe @Keir_Starmer Sorry, Julia but not correct. Nurses of Queen Alexandria's Imperial Nursing Service were transited into Normandy at the end of D-Day to set up the first field hospital to treat up to 600 casualties.
By the end of the first week at least 1 of them would be killed by stray fire.

On this day in 1944, Canada helped change the course of history.
On June 6, 1944, about 14,000 Canadians landed at Juno Beach as part of the D-Day invasion, supported by the Royal Canadian Navy and the Royal Canadian Air Force. It was one of the most important military operations in modern history, but the victory came at a terrible cost. Canada suffered 1,074 casualties that day, including 359 killed.
Behind those numbers were real people with names, families, fears, courage, and stories.
Ernest Adolphe Côté helped organize supplies for thousands of Canadian troops and was one of the few officers who knew the date and location of the invasion. James Doohan, who later became famous as Scotty on Star Trek, landed at Juno Beach and survived being shot multiple times by friendly fire. Jan de Vries parachuted into Normandy before the beach landings and spent the night moving through dangerous territory after landing far from his target.
Canadian women also played a vital role. Ruth Muggeridge helped treat wounded soldiers at a casualty clearing station, while Dorothy Irene Mulholland later landed in Normandy and worked through exhausting shifts caring for the wounded near the front.
Others carried their courage into impossible moments. Conrad Landry landed at Juno Beach and later lost an eye during the Battle of Normandy. Hugh Buckley served in a Stuart light tank with the Sherbrooke Fusiliers and survived the war. Major John Archibald MacNaughton, a First World War veteran, refused the chance to step aside before D-Day and led his men ashore, where he was killed. Richard Rohmer flew over the beaches as an RCAF pilot. Ralph Charles Spencer, wounded after landing, still helped pull wounded men from the water to safety.
These stories remind us that D-Day was not only about strategy, maps, and military history. It was about young Canadians, nurses, pilots, engineers, officers, and soldiers who faced fear and moved forward anyway.
📷 Eighty-two years later, Canada remembers Juno Beach, the lives lost, and the courage of those who helped open the road to freedom.

[Paul Watson 💙 @PhilWat10127274]

@JuliaHB1 @Keir_Starmer He is referring to these young heroes who lost their lives tending to the wounded.

You probably don't want to hear it as it does not chime with your narative

But on behalf of the rest of the country
Thank you for your service

The first message to reach Britain confirming the success of D-Day wasn’t sent by radio... it was carried by a pigeon.

Gustav flew 150 miles through heavy cloud, 30mph headwinds and German hawks to deliver the news.

This is the story of the bird that helped win D-Day:

When we fight, we win!

Thanks to our advocacy and work, the courts struck down the Trump administration's orders to stop processing visas and asylum cases.

Providing refuge to the tired and persecuted is a fundamental promise of our nation. We must protect it.

Today, Jon Ossoff offered an amendment to stop insurance companies from denying or delaying medically necessary care.

Republicans blocked it.

Entering month 6 of the Mamdani mayorship of NYC and Robberies are down 11%, Retail theft is down 19%, and Murder is down an astounding 21%.

And he did so without "Adding 5000 new cops" to the streets. Instead, he's invested in public safety with free childcare, accessible infrastructure, and better funded schools and libraries. He's proven once again that if we want safer communities, we must invest in People—not Punishments.

This is a poor decision by the Department of not War, but Appeasement to Russia. We need some new civilian leaders in the Pentagon. We’ve been telling NATO countries to do more and then we pull rug out from underneath them when they try. https://t.co/bxVHqwQ76z

Please ask your hosts exactly how they acquired their ownership of these properties. Then come home and ask the American previous owners the same questions.

Not sure confiscation, nationalization, state ownership, “purchasing” at radically discounted prices, and in some sectors outright theft of private property is something that one should celebrate.

[Dr. Amy Acton @amyactonoh]

Ohioans need immediate property tax relief, and I will provide it as governor — especially for our seniors.

Vivek Ramaswamy will continue the corrupt Statehouse practice of putting corporations and special interests first while gutting our public schools and leaving Ohioans to cover the difference with massive property tax increases.

It’s wrong, and it’s time for a change.

🚨BREAKING: In Columbus, Ohio, ICE agents hit a U.S. citizen’s vehicle, and then admitted, on camera, that they “do this all the time”… before driving away.

A 17-year-old U.S. citizen was reportedly on his way to church, when multiple officials surrounded his car, backed into his front bumper, and jumped out of their vehicles.

When he rolled down his window, they told him…

“We got the wrong person.”

And walked back toward their cars.

The 17-year-old got out to document what happened, and told an officer they had hit his vehicle…

And the response was:

“You can take a picture if you want. We do this all the time. You’re okay.”

And then they drove off.

The Fourth Amendment protects you from unreasonable searches and seizures. And courts have made clear that a “seizure” isn’t just being arrested, or put in handcuffs.

It also includes situations where law enforcement use their authority in a way that blocks your freedom to leave… or creates an intimidating, forced encounter.

So, when officers surround a car, hit it while backing up, and pull a teenager into a sudden law enforcement interaction, with no valid reason…

At minimum, it’s a reckless stop. At worst, it’s an unlawful seizure, with property damage, and no accountability.

And then there’s the part when she casually said…

“We do this all the time.”

Because that turns an “oops” moment into a pattern.

And when that pattern violates your constitutional rights and due process, it starts to feel a lot like the government is using the Constitution like they use the Bible…

Quoted when it’s useful, ignored when it isn’t.

We received a request to share Zuhra’s voice with the world. She and thousands of other Afghan allies and their families are stuck in Pakistan after being directed to head there by the United State government.

Please listen and share.

I'm a grizzly.

They just decided one acre is all I need.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service just redefined "secure habitat" for grizzly bears in Montana.

The science said 2,500 acres minimum.

They changed it to one.

No public input. No new science. Just a rewrite.

And it wasn't random. The change conveniently cleared the way for a 17,700-acre logging project cutting straight through the corridor grizzlies use to travel between two of their last strongholds in North America.

A former Forest Service wildlife biologist said it plainly: "A one-acre island of forest surrounded by roads isn't secure habitat. It's a death trap."

Courts already rejected this same playbook when agencies tried 10-acre patches near Yellowstone. They lost. Then they came back with one acre.

Who's going to tell the grizzly it only gets one acre?

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

Trump did this.

He pardoned January 6 rioters, then tried to hand them a $1.8 BILLION taxpayer-funded slush fund as a reward.

Now we’re learning that some pardon recipients have since faced charges involving sex crimes, domestic violence, assault, DUIs, illegal firearms, and other offenses.

The whole thing felt less like compensation and more like an attempt to financially reward and strengthen the militia that attacked the Capitol.

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

One year ago today, @realDonaldTrump's masked agents began their brutal, chaotic raids of communities in LA and across Southern California.

Hours later, Trump illegally took over @TheCalGuard, militarizing American neighborhoods to make his authoritarian goals a reality.

As Trump and Stephen Miller continue to impose their extreme agenda and hurt our communities, California continues to support our state's families and fight back.
