We’re learning about activists in Grade 3 - Terry Fox, Phyllis Webstad, Jane Goodall, Greta Thunberg, Viola Desmond, and more.

I can’t wait to see their reactions when we talk about Portland next week and watch some of these videos.

I wonder how many ICE dudes read Anne Frank’s diary in high school and thought, “I’d have gotten her sooner.”

For more than a century, Portland’s city commission was dominated by affluent white men; only 10 women ever served, and just two were women of color.

That changed in 2024. More in the latest Weekend Reading:

It sure did, and some of us said so; some, like Susan Faludi, in her book The Terror Dream, wrote brilliantly about such language. More said we were being hysterical. My point isn't "told ya so"; it's that language really matters.

The creation of the DHS seemed authoritarian at the time. The term, "Homeland Security," smacks of jackboots, and truncheons, and faceless predation. These are not a few of my favorite things.

Thanks for your apology, Sarah!

Search engines confirm US Air Marshals jurisdiction is limited to operating within the US #ICYMI Regardless of the fact that US officials are not authorized, it wouldn't be the first time MAGA USA broke International and/or Humanitarian Laws. They do it every day.

Carney spoke on collaborating with the US in protecting the Arctic - after Trump rolled out a red carpet for murderer Putin and pitched him an idea to monetize Alaska together with China? Ugh. Let’s talk about it more later today.

That'll be the day! LOL though, if the Donald rounds up Lutnick, Hoestra etc. MAGA toadies who are parroting his existential threats against Canada & other former US allies, to apologize it could buy #MAGA some more time and serve as further desperate distraction for the Pedophile Protectors.

I can't believe any Canadian (least of all you) wants to travel to the USA while a MAGA administration is in office. I sure don't. In fact, I'm having enough trouble risking travel anywhere outside of Canada on an airplane, because I'm concerned they're riddled with #SnakesOnAPlane US air marshalls.
