Needless to say but it is abundantly clear that this administration is not up to the task of imposing a two state solution onto the Israelis if they cannot even withhold one shipment of bombs which will go towards the murder of children.

The scenes from the Russian strikes on hospitals in Kyiv today only reinforce how the morally correct position to have is to support both the peoples of Ukraine and Palestine as they both suffer brutal and vicious fascist aggression launched with the intent of wiping them out as peoples.

Targeting a childrenβs hospital is just about as evil as you can get. Ukraine needs all the air defense and everything else it asks for not just to keep fighting but to _defeat_ Russia. And if you can personally, donate to support Ukraineβs military and humanitarian efforts.

The far right cope machine is already trying to manufacture a narrative about the massive loss the French fascists faced today. They are scared they can sense whatβs coming to America and itβs not fascism. Popular fronts win and scare fascists. Keep them on the back foot they are weak and scared.

A new βcontinuous sidewalkβ in Kitchener. The design differs from regular sidewalks in that it doesnβt dip down to road level at intersections. It continues at an uninterrupted height. This slows cars turning onto the street, and it also reinforces pedestrian priority through the intersections.
