Trump being blatantly racist is nothing new but it’s a great way to foment outrage to turn the dial on media attention. The man is a known rage-baiter and uses it to steer the conversation while preparing for something else. It’s an easy trigger to pull

I'm sure this account is not managed by this out of touch 81yo congresswoman who's been in office since the early 90s but it's clearly trying to paint a ridiculous picture of a bygone era. This is beyond unacceptable when people are being terrorized & murdered in the streets by government agents.

I’m finding it painful to watch CBC platform mostly conservatives to gush praise at former Prime Minister Stephen Harper (they’re releasing his archival collection) with almost zero commentary about the awful things he did while in power & around the world since. The selective amnesia is nauseating.

I had the joy of reading to 2nd graders at the Mauro-Sheridan school in New Haven, where we talked about making a positive difference & dreaming big & standing tall.
We read “Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon,” the inspiring tale of a girl who stands up to a bully & finds confidence.

BC legislators passed the law UNANIMOUSLY in 2019, when EVERY MLA from EVERY party voted for it as a route to reconciliation. Eby's plan to rewrite DRIPA and have the Supreme Court put limits on it is a shameful betrayal of First Nations and an unacceptable return to the colonial status quo.
![Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act
The Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (Declaration Act) establishes the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples [151KB PDF] (UN Declaration) as the Province’s framework for reconciliation, as called for by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action.
Passed unanimously in the B.C. legislature on November 26, 2019, the Declaration Act came into force on November 29, 2019. B.C. is the first jurisdiction in Canada to formally adopt the internationally recognized standards of the UN Declaration.
