Vigils for Gaza
Over the past months, I've met so many ordinary people who have stepped up to stand against genocide and starvation.
Some might question if standing in silent vigil on the sidewalk of a small town, or even a busy city, can make a difference.
But when our leaders look the other way, when the media ignores the situation, and when doctors and aid workers are targeted and killed for trying to help, it becomes the responsibility of ordinary people to take action. It falls to us.
And when this genocide is remembered, none of us will be able to say we didn't know.
I choose to stand with those who are speaking up.
Are you organizing a vigil in your community? Please share details with us, and let's connect people across the country who are standing up for humanity.
Victoria, BC has a Jews for Ceasefire vigil every Wed 4-5 PM in Centennial Square by the city hall. We also have a rally and March from the BC legislature that starts between 2-3PM every single Saturday. There is also a Pots for Peace 1-2PM. Saturdays, in different intersections around the city. You can find them on FB. These efforts get a lot of support from our public.
Alaska For Sale Along With Ukraine
Lying Trump pledged to end the war in Ukraine within his first 24 hours in office and his cult believed him.
On Friday, Trump is meeting Putin in Alaska. The only time Trump visited Alaska was for a refueling stop, for 20 minutes, and Putin’s never been.
This isolated location is perfect for two narcissistic felon dictators to trade lies about the crimes they’ve committed against their own people and people all over the world. They will play their favorite game of I CAN ONE UP YOU!
Here’s their first round:
Putin: I jailed Navalny
Trump: I jailed Kilmar Abrego Garcia in two countries.
Putin: I opened a new prison, Kresty -2, it holds 4,000 people.
Trump: I opened a death camp in a swamp with alligators.
Putin: I am stronger and can do 100 pushups.
Trump: I’m in the Epstein files more than 100 times.
Putin: I want Alaska back.
Trump: I want a peace prize.
Putin: (laughing at Trump) I don’t like peace. Peace is for weak people.
Trump: Can you get me a peace prize if I give you Alaska?
Putin: I can get you one today. I’ve got Dmitry Muratov’s prize in my closet.
Trump: What was it for?
Putin: His efforts to safeguard freedom of expression, which is a precondition for democracy and lasting peace, according to the Nobel Prize organization.
Trump: (laughing out loud) Perfect. That’s what I did when I started Truth Social.
Putin: He shared the prize with an American.
Trump: Yeah, Russia and America are so much alike. I want it.
Putin: I brought it. I thought this might be a perfect gift.
As they leave their meeting Putin says to Trump, ‘I thought we were going to talk about Ukraine.’Trump replies, ‘No, you can have it and Alaska too. I got my prize.’
Putin trumps Trump again.
