“In short, we have not responded to this challenge [the climate crisis] because we are locked in – politically, physically, and culturally. Only when we identify these chains do we have a chance of breaking free.” - Naomi Klein #WellbeingWednesday #ThisChangesEverything

Latest developments in the occupied West Bank, including Israel's launch of large-scale military operations, are deeply concerning.

I strongly condemn the loss of lives, including of children, and I call for an immediate cessation of these operations.

Dear world: I know it’s hard to keep looking, but please don’t move on.

Israel’s genocide in Gaza never stopped, not for one moment.

It’s still happening. Hour after hour.

If you’re in a rich country, your government is likely prolonging it.

Pass it on.

@dominictsz Not hilarious at all. Disgusting on so many levels!

Meanwhile @JustinTrudeau told media he opposes the "situation" in Rafah.
When asked what he was going to do about it, he walked away.
You don't get to walk away from genocide and war crimes.
That's called complicity.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I condemn Israel’s actions which killed scores of innocent civilians who were only seeking shelter from this deadly conflict.

There is no safe place in Gaza.

This horror must stop.

Israel has dropped almost 75,000 bombs and shells on Gaza in 200 days, twenty times more than the US aimed at Iraq in six years of war.

The world's 200 bloodiest days since the Rwandan genocide. It’s not war. It’s genocide.

[Torrance Coste @TorranceCoste]

Every morning when I wake my kid up I can’t help but think of all the parents in Gaza who can’t do the same anymore.

Don’t lose sight of the heinous cruelty of Israel continuously bombing a crowded civilian enclave. This can never, ever be accepted as necessary.

Poilievre is fine-tuning the politics of intimidation.
It is about stoking the rage base to mount pressure against their opponents.
The rage base plays by a whole different set of rules including menace and intimidation
This is a worrying trend for democracy.

[Avi Lewis @avilewis]

The genocide in Gaza is still grinding on, day after day, hour after hour.

Precious life after precious life, extinguished.

And the future is filled with more horrific revelations of crimes committed, like the mass graves.

We don't get to go back to normal. Silence is shame.

Crown land? Figment of your imagination.
B.C. parks? Figment of your imagination.
Canada parks? Figment of your imagination.
As far as your eyes can see, First Nations land.
