“…this morning, from a war zone half a world away, I was reading about your election. And for the first time in days, I exhaled.
A small, almost invisible breath. Relief.
And then came gratitude…
You didn’t just choose kindness or experience…
You chose not to flirt with fascism.”

US politics right now is like that episode of Oprah where she gave away all the cars, but instead she kept giving cars and taking cars away and setting cars on fire and making people beg for cars and also didn't understand what cars actually were

If you see this, repost it. If legacy media won't tell everyone that change is wanted, you have to.
Bernie Sanders is holding MASSIVE rallies in packed venues, bigger crowds than Trump was getting, and legacy media is practically silent. Bernie is talking to workers rather than hanging out with socialites with mediocre plastic surgery at Mar-a-Lago, and it's just not interesting to corporate media

Here's my latest reflection on a lesson I learned from a woman who was in the second tower on 9/11.
When the world is turned upside down taking action is the only way to survive.
Our democracy is under threat but politicians are still living in 2024.

Trudeau says not implementing electoral reform is the biggest regret of his 9+ years in power. I couldn't agree more. Maybe 2025 will finally be the time when Canada tries democracy with some kind of proportional representation.

Opinion: This is how Canada should deal with Donald Trump, irrational actor
We cannot fall into the trap of believing the president-elect is rational – so we must not cave into his blackmail or immediately retaliate with self-destructive tariffs
