Dr. El-Sayed is a fighter for our American Constitution, he’s a fighter for our American Democracy, and he’s a fighter against the corrupt, lawless, and anti-American leadership currently in the White House. That’s why I’m in his corner 100%.

She knows. They all know. Not just about the evil being done but what they can and “can’t” say about it. It’s so nauseating and horrifying to see it laid bare so clearly.

Canada's unions passed a resolution calling on workers to refuse to handle weapons and military equipment destined for Israel.
We stand with Palestinian workers in their fight for peace, justice, and respect for international law.

It’s called collective punishment and forced displacement. It is illegal under international law.
Israeli forces demolished homes and damaged roads in Hebron in the occupied West Bank, forcing around 1,200 Palestinians to leave their homes a day after a Palestinian attack killed two Israeli soldiers reut.rs/3ULnOwX

Gen-Z protests against neoliberalism and austerity were already global. Western media just didn’t pay attention to them…happening in parts of the globe that do not matter to the Western leaders who imposed neoliberal schemes on them in the first place. blackagendareport.com/index.…

Not only are settlers viciously attacking Palestinian farmers trying to harvest their olives, but now they are actually stealing their harvested olives and taking them to a newly erected olive oil press in a settlement.

Why is accepting donor funds from the Azrieli Foundation acceptable politics, while you deem a young talented artist holding up a Palestine flag unacceptable, @CalgaryOpera?
Many institutions including Giller Prize and Toronto Arts Foundations have cut ties with Azrieli Foundation following pressure from artists and the art community – due Azrieli Group's ties to assets in the violent illegal settlements.
In 2024, Danna Azrieli, part of Azrieli Foundation's leadership, questioned if Palestinian children killed by Israel should be considered children at all.
It is a highly political choice for @CalgaryOpera to continue to accept Azrieli Foundation funding.
All of my solidarity with Gabriel Sanchez-Ortega, a brave, principled and talented young artist. I hope that Calgary Opera will use this time to reflect on the political stances they are taking and correct course.
Follow instagram.com/stopartwashing for more information about Azrieli Foundation, their ties to illegal activity in Palestine, and to support the artists organizing against art washing.

Calgary Opera in Canada has removed bass-baritone Gabriel Sanchez-Ortega from the remaining performances of Tosca after he raised a Palestinian flag during the curtain call on opening night, Friday, October 16.
The opera company said the flag-raising was unexpected and unauthorized, adding that individual political protest goes against its policies. Another singer will take over the role of Cesare Angelotti for the remaining performances, which are scheduled to run through October 24.
In a social media post, Sanchez-Ortega said he had no regrets about raising the Palestinian flag.
Daniel Scott Tysdal retweeted
We are disturbed to learn that @CalgaryOpera has removed bass-baritone Gabriel Sanchez-Ortega from future performances of "Tosca" after he unveiled a Palestinian flag during the curtain call on opening night. Art is political, and artists should not be punished for expressing support for the Palestinian people as they face a genocide. This decision must be reversed.

Dozens of masked Israeli settlers attacked a group of Palestinians during an olive harvest, setting groves on fire.
The settlers also assaulted Washington Post journalist Heidi Levine, knocking her to the ground and kicking her repeatedly.
