I live in Canada. I talked to my Canadian friends who used to have property in the US or go down for winter vacations, but no longer. They are too afraid of going. Now that they have to be fingerprinted at the border unlike any other country in the world. They no longer feel safe or welcome. So sad.

We haven’t learned enough from mistakes we made during the Cold War, and now we’re repeating some of them.

Yes, I did the narration myself, years ago at the recording studio in the North Van. Library. The technician set it up, but it was a huge learning curve. Afterwards, I had problems getting it approved for Audible, but I figured it out. Now I'm recording Along Came A Gardener at home, in my closet.

Trey Reed was found hanging from a tree.

Let me repeat that. He was Found Hanging From A Tree.

In Mississippi. In the state that lynched more Black people than ANY OTHER STATE IN THE COUNTRY. And police have the audacity to summarily conclude "no foul play."

I wish we had a competent DOJ. smh.

Trey Reed & Cory Zukatis, 2 Black men, were found hanging from trees in Mississippi. Black men don’t commit suicide by hanging themselves from trees.
Racism is alive & well, & appears to be deadly in MS.

I’m shocked this young black man, who was hung in Mississippi isn’t front page news in all the major newspapers.

Was working on stuff and basically missed the whole Jimmy Kimmel news cycle. It reminds us. With the exception of the Times (which doesn't own a bunch of other vulnerable properties), msnbc and a few others, all the news/media outlets are owned by the white house now.

I stand with @jimmykimmel.com.

On a related note, here's a flashback to him standing up for his son and to protect healthcare coverage for millions of Americans 8 years ago.

UPDATE: Jimmy Kimmel and his son have some things to get off their chest.

I'll say again: not a democracy.

Robinson was raised by MAGAs and steeped in MAGA culture. He then entered the sinister alt-right digital ecosystem. He happens to be gay, but the presumption that that means he's a leftist is virulently homophobic.

Kimmel gets this, and was suspended for saying it.

I mourn with you. I can’t believe the tragedy unfolding south of our Canadian border, infecting ours as well. I hope reason and good hearts prevail. 🇺🇸🇨🇦

This is my grandmother Lukia Mazurets's story. She used her wits and faith to survive. Though I shared a bedroom with her, she never talked about her wartime experience, like soldiers who return from the battlefield. My mother told me her story. #historicalfiction #Russia #Ukraine amzn.to/3HjyBo5

Our daughter is an actor and climate activist in Toronto. She is so frustrated as well.
