Today we recognize the sacrifices and lives lost in the FNMI community, as we take the time to reflect and recall those who never came home. On Indigenous Veteran’s Day let us each remember them and those racialized communities who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom 💔 #lestweforget

Good morning, friends! Life gets busy, but that's okay. Love remains constant, even when life gets full. Adult friendships require patience and understanding. Let's check in with each other, not check out.

The policies of the Trump-regime are a stunningly pure form of FASCISM,
working from a known script,
and at break-neck speed.
Democracies everywhere need to take a stand on an international level.
We didn’t in the 1930’s.
Let’s do better.
