All those who have thought about the bad state of things refuse to appeal to the compassion of one group of people for another. But the compassion of the oppressed for the oppressed is indispensable. It is the world's one hope.

The film ‘Orwell: 2+2=5,’ connects Orwell's writings to modern totalitarianism. It’s a loose assembly of biography, reflection & key moments of political awakening, with actor Damian Lewis narrating Orwell’s words with a poetic gravitas, interspersed w/ a collage of images, words & archival footage.

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.

All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.

Heather McPherson says: "But you have to meet Canadians where they are at."
In other words, make no attempt to break the grip neoliberalism has had on Canadians' psyches since the mid 1980s. More of the same from the NDP. 👎
