“Preserve the relationship with Metrolinx”

You mean go into deep secrecy over things that really should be public.
Ughhh TTC board is being so dodgy on talking openly about signal priority

Matlow is pushing for transparency and they keep saying no we’ll talk about it “in camera” (closed private session)

They say it’s to “preserve their relationship with metrolinx”

In spirit, content and intent, this was really no different to a Klan rally.

The exception being the wholesale absence of outrage in mainstream media.

This period of history will be an indictment on those standing silent, as much as the monster himself.

After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family.

No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I sent those deaths threats directly to him in a text message & informed him of what his name calling & words were doing - it was a direct assassination threat on my son. And he was extremely - I won't repeat what he said - but it was extremely unkind. No sympathy. No care"

Gardner has pleaded not guilty and has been jailed pending trial.

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

1) Citing past US crimes as justification for current US crimes obviously doesn't wash ‼️
