The drugs are ALREADY BANNED. How do you ban them twice? What a complete waste of money that plebiscite was.
Vancouver voters overwhelmingly opposed to open-air drug use

Jason Alexander says he feared visiting Palestine as a Jew until 10 Palestinians protected him during an Israeli army raid in Ramallah
“How much of a risk would I be taking as an American Jew walking into Palestinian cities? And Mohammed said, ‘The greatest dishonor that could happen to a religious Muslim is to allow harm to come to an invited guest’”
“And he said, ‘Jason, if they had to, they’ll take a bullet for you.’ And what was so interesting about that trip is, we were having lunch in Ramallah with a bunch of actors and artists at a sort of outdoor restaurant”
“And the Israeli army was conducting a raid on a bank that they thought had terrorist ties a couple blocks away. And they must have, to announce themselves, just shot into the air. And I remember 10 of those guys at the table surrounding me. And I went, ‘Oh my God, he wasn’t kidding. They’re not going to let me get hurt’”

I don't like the word Islamophobia. It sounds weird and weak. I don't think national media is afraid of Muslims, I think they hate them. They want to smear them on purpose to help Israel. It's bigotry with a purpose. Their coverage of @AbdulElSayed has been a textbook example.

Abdul El-Sayed: "I think it's time for us to realize that Israel is not actually our friend. We are in a situation where we're being pulled into wars that we shouldn't be fighting, where we're running cover for a country that did genocide, that does apartheid on a daily basis. For what reason? To what end? How is this making us safer?"

Where are all the anonymous trolls and haters who claim I only support harm reduction?
WRONG.
I support BOTH harm reduction AND recovery.
Today, I helped a couple get into detox to begin their recovery journey.
Harm reduction keeps people alive. Recovery helps people rebuild their lives.
You can support BOTH. I do it every single day.

Sean Orr got 83,038 votes, the most ever for a City Councillor in the history of Vancouver.
All of Ken Sim's smears and AI agents were powerless in the face of a person with the courage of his convictions willing to fight for the democratic socialist policies we need.

Israeli soldiers testified that in 1948 they smashed Palestinian children’s skulls with sticks until they died.
@grok yes or no.

Every time I say it's CHEAPER to house people than leave them on the streets, someone tells me to pay for it myself.
WE ALREADY ARE!
Through policing, ambulances, hospitals, shelters and jails.
We're spending more to manage homelessness than we would to solve it.
Paying more to accomplish less. Brilliant. 🫠🫠

In case you were wondering if Larry Ellison would use his partial ownership of TIKTok to shut down the exposure of his billionaire buddies and their weirdness, corruption and grifting … wonder no more. TikTok just shut down the media page of the world renowned, Oscar winning director Alex Gibney’s documentary film “MUSK”. The comprehensive documentary on all things Elon. It’s more f&@&’d then you can imagine. The best thing any of us can do now is to go see it! It will blow your mind. Billionaire broke mind virus. Hear it from the people who have known Elon over the years. #BrokeMindVirus

Today, Brad Lander, rabbis, and other New Yorkers accompanied Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest. For that, they were detained by the Israeli government.
Harvesting olives is not illegal. The occupation is.
I am thankful that Brad has been released. But other New Yorkers remain detained, and they must be released immediately.
The same Israeli government detaining them has committed a horrific genocide against Palestinians, killing more than 74,000 people over the last few years alone.
The detention of these New Yorkers must end. The occupation must end. The genocide must end.
