19 years ago we conducted the 1st Ontario IBI study demonstrating the effectiveness of community based #AppliedBehaviourAnalysis (published as Freeman & Perry 2010 because, you know, we were kinda busy providing #NeedsBasedTherapy to kids with #autism).

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

Good watch on the Alberta referendum and how 🇺🇸 disinformation and misinformation are the biggest sources of foreign interference.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands….

Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

In the midst of all the terrible news, nice to see empirical evidence supporting the role dogs play in stress reduction. Seven dogs in, I have anecdotal evidence myself.

Drop the names of any Canadian companies you’ve seen working with ICE in the comments.

I’m aware of Gardaworld, Roshel, Hootsuite.

Would love to gather any and all other names.

After a friend told me things aren’t that bad, I remembered my father’s colleague in Germany who, with a sweeping gesture in a lovely restaurant, said 1930s Germans sat here happily refusing to see the rise of evil because they had no stomach for fear.

He taught me to develop a stomach for fear.

If you don’t already, & have the means, donate to Wikipedia. A coffee a month from those that can adds up.
One of the reasons why Elon Musk and other folks on the right want to shut down Wikipedia (or "compete" with it). It's a good platform for regular folks to accumulate data, even keep track of all of this administration's atrocities in real time. Great work
Even when there’s no accountability, the record matters. Credit to the Wikipedia editors maintaining this page.

I keep reflecting on the surrealness of Mark Carney, former Governor of the Bank of England and Bank of Canada, invoking an anti-communist essay by Vaclav Havel to declare at Davos that the American-led neoliberal capitalist world order is a “lie”

Stunning this needs to be contemplated. Gifted article for you to read, then I encourage you to listen to the PM Carney speech at Davos that received a rare standing ovation. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/6e98a94...

Armed Forces envision insurgency tactics like those used by Afghan mujahedeen, sources say. But officials and experts stress a U.S. operation is unlikely, and the scenarios are conceptual

A little part of me is always sad to see the end of summer weather which carries an air of freedom. Another part of me enjoys hunkering down, quiet fires, comfort foods. Every season is a gift. Grateful for the beauty of each one.
