🕊🌍Tomorrow, Oct. 5, is World Quaker Day, celebrating the relationships, values, and advocacy for peace and justice that connect Friends globally.

As Friends from 50-plus countries declared at last year's World Plenary: “We are seized with the urgent need to do transformative work in the world.”

At Quaker World Plenary, Americans are seen as key to building peace

Yes, but also research more about Carnegie beyond his philanthropy. Look up union history, Pinkerton, Pennsylvania etc. He also was no friend of workers or people in poverty.

This whole thread. Similar can be said of #Canada too. Yes, foreign interference is a thing. No, it's not just good old innocent Canadians being led astray by Israel, Russia, China, India, whoever you want to blame. Canada was created with genocide and slavery. Fascist evil has been here all along.

The United States has never needed to be "controlled" to do genocide.

The United States isn't an uwu smol bean empire with an uwu smol bean Pentagon and uwu smol bean world's largest carceral state. We're directly responsible for genocides against multiple Indigenous nations,

Love my neighbour? Easy! I’ve no problem loving people regardless of their colour, ethnicity, disability or sexual orientation. But the person who gets on my nerves every time? Now that IS a challenge! That’s when I need to call on the Holy Spirit to help me find “that of God” in my neighbour ..
