This morning, I wandered by the encampment at the University of Toronto. The students' demands seem clear to me.

"The measure would direct the Census Bureau to add a question to the 10-year survey asking for the respondent’s citizenship status and require that the U.S. only consider citizens when determining the number of congressional seats each state receives."

House GOP passes bill to add citizenship question to census
House Republicans on Wednesday passed a bill that calls for adding a citizenship question to the decennial census, re-upping an issue that the Supreme Court blocked in 2019. The legislation — titled the Equal Representation Act — cleared the chamber in a party-line 206-202 vote. The measure would direct the Census Bureau to add a question to the…

"Grief is the ultimate interruption of the normalization of mass death and mass murder because in grief, we acknowledge the value of life as we do in no other scenario. We grieve because we love life, because we love those we have lost. We love the living. We know the value of humanity. That is what our grief means to us. And so we retake our humanity, we reclaim public space, and we reclaim this day from a genocidal administration with our grief and with our love, and with our refusal to allow those who are dying to go unacknowledged. We hold this space for them. We say their names. We honor them because they are part of us and we are part of them. And so long as they are dying, there is no justice for any of us. And so there shall be no peace for those who lead us.
I know that many of us are grieving a great deal in these times, and that our grief can at times feel all-consuming. Grief can cause us to shut down, retreat, or turn inward, but I want to remind us that there is power in grief. Because grief refuses the normalization of violence and loss. Our grief is a rejection of dehumanization. By grieving, we are refusing to devalue the lives of those we have lost, and we are refusing to become less human ourselves. We are refusing to sacrifice the parts of ourselves that are soft and permeable enough to facilitate human connection and mutual recognition. In our grief, there is hope for humanity, because in our grief, love and decency persist in the face of atrocity.
I urge you to make space for your grief and to nurture its power. As Rasha Abdulhadi teaches us, “If our hearts break, let them break outward into action."

Platform responsibility.
It should be a basic factor for anyone publishing #content on the internet. “Are we being responsible with the reach and audience trust that we have by publishing this content in this way?”
And yet it seems like big platforms like the #NYT haven't heard of it.

This Photo was taken in January when I went out to try some foreground. Right there I had to pull myself back because I wanted to reach the summit and almost forgot about the photo opportunity.
I put down my rucksack, went town on my knees and started taking photos instead. And I am very happy that I did so! I just wonder if I should remove the tiny tree right under the cross 🤔

Special counsel urges Supreme Court to reject Trump’s immunity claim

Special counsel Jack Smith on Monday urged the Supreme Court to reject Donald Trump’s “novel and sweeping” claim that he is immune from criminal prosecution on charges of conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

“The President’s constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed does not entail a general right to violate them,” Smith said in his office’s main brie…
