I suggest that instead of buying groceries at full price and donating that food, and giving billionaires more of your money, donate directly to the Edmonton Food Bank so that they can buy food with it.
Go to this link and give a cash donation directly. Food Banks have real purchasing power to buy items much cheaper.

Israel Once Again Bombs Gaza “Humanitarian Zone,” Killing at Least 23 https://truthout.org/articles/israel-once-again-bombs-gaza-humanitarian-zone-killing-at-least-23/
It really cannot be overstated enough: "For-profit health insurance" is fundamentally incompatible with keeping people healthy. UnitedHealthcare did not deny 1 out of every 3 claims because they thought they weren't medically valuable, they did it because they knew they could get away with it. The entire system cannot ever provide health as a meaningful outcome. It must be eliminated and replaced with taxation and a single-payer institution built on care, not resource hoarding.
#Israel committing #genocide in #Gaza, #Amnesty report finds.
Israel forcefully rejected the report’s claims, with a spokesperson dismissing it as “entirely false” and “based on lies,” adding that Amnesty is a “deplorable and fanatical organization.”
Sure, ICC, Amnesty and other human rights organizations are all deplorable and fanatical organizations specifically founded in order to defame Israel. Do you believe it yourself, Israel?

"What is a Life Worth?" American version:
"What we’re called to ask is why the murder of one man must be described as unspeakable violence, but the systemic denial of life to 100,000 people is an acceptable business practice. We’re called to ask why profiting from the denial of life earns a person millions while the people denied care ought to accept drowning in debt and disease."
Good perspective article on the murder of CEO, United Healthcare.

‘This Is Genocide’: Amnesty Publishes Landmark Report on Gaza https://novaramedia.com/2024/12/05/this-is-genocide-amnesty-publishes-landmark-report-on-gaza/
Amnesty International Concludes That Israel Is Committing Genocide in Gaza https://theintercept.com/2024/12/04/amnesty-international-israel-genocide-gaza/
Israeli forces again bombed the so-called 'safe zone' in Gaza’s al-Mawasi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhN3JI3stGs
Amnesty have published a meaty 296 page report in which the organization determines that Israel's campaign in Gaza amounts to genocide.
It's the first human rights organization to issue the determination, and comes after a UN report last month accused Israel of actions "consistent with genocide."
Apropos of nothing
the most fucked up thing you’ve ever seen SO FAR
Blue Cross/Blue Shield want to stop covering anesthesiology drugs beyond a fixed amount of time
during
surgeries?
So if a surgery goes longer than their time allotment, coverage stops on
anaesthesia?!
I mean
I mean
I mean
there’s also the whole “nothing says quality medicine like rushing a surgery team” but
HOLY SHIT YOU MONSTERS
The Dems made a deal with the devil starting with Bill Clinton. They said if we're going to remain competitive, we have to drink from the same corporate trough as the Republicans. I understand this, it's cynical, but that's realpolitik.
Okay, so now fast forward some 30 years, and what do we have? A broken duopoly, if it even still exists, and a nascent autocracy run by a treasonous leader.
What do we need? A political party that promotes majoritarian policies. Remake or abandon the Dems.
Reminder to journalists. You’re not covering Trump or the White House or “politics.”
You’re covering THE TRUTH and how Trump and the next administration and our current political culture stand in relation to it.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres warns that the conditions in Gaza may amount to "the most serious international crimes. Malnutrition is widespread, famine is imminent, and the healthcare system has collapsed."
"Gaza has the highest number of children with amputations in the world relative to its population. The blockade is not a logistical issue but a crisis of political will and respect for the fundamental principles of international humanitarian law."
