Feeling good that @… (red jacket) and my MP Gord Johns (orange tie) are right there behind @….
This is a good speech. Including parts in French delivered with confidence and passion.
There are so many quotes I have wanted to share as he spoke but couldn’t pick one!
How about:
“When Israel commits a genocide in Gaza.”
Yes!
“An economy for the many, not the money”

Calling it “divisive” to document the honest brutality of American slavery and lynching is an attempt to erase the uncomfortable truth of racial terror.
Government efforts to remove such important history from both curricula and public institutions are efforts of deliberate whitewashing, propaganda to protect a mythology of American innocence.
Sanitizing the past protects power, not feelings.

The illustration shows Guthrum kneeling while being baptized, with King Alfred of Wessex present as his godfather. This event marked a crucial moment in Anglo-Saxon history, leading to a lasting peace treaty between the Saxons and the Danes in Britain.

As the "last falangista*" dies, fascism is again on the rise.
Just an example from Manchester.
In the nearby parliamentary constituency, a candidate with connections to race pseudoscience organisations, with Nazi pedigree, could win a crucial by-election.
*Falange= Franco's fascist party.

Oh, I see that news.google.com is now re-writing headlines. Or at least synthesizing them from URLs. Whatever the method, what Google shows in its news is not the same as on the article if actually viewed by a reader.
For instance in the following article the actual headline is:
"Iran Claims It Struck American AWACS Aircraft In Saudi Airbase Strike"
But Google news rewrote that to be (or pulled it from the URL):

Hello—this is Ken Burns, reaching out on behalf of Alex Vindman for Senate.
I have dedicated my life to sharing America’s stories through films. They examine crucial moments in our nation’s history and the threats to our democracy. These stories are not easy.

Some USA Olympic Hockey players playing for Canadian teams are in for a rough ride... and if you know enough about hockey and US players, you'll be able to guess who's on top of the shit list.
But this is the part that is actually important:
“We know how this story ends,” said the writer Jennifer Weiner. “The male athletes are flying private, back to their seven-figure NHL paycheques and a White House rolling out the red carpet. The women are flying coach, back to the grind, to a league that barely pays them to play. The men, celebrated. The women, mocked.”
I'm glad the #Canucks traded Hughes, if only because it would have been extremely awkward, and possibly downright hostile.
