I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

I’m finding myself torn between a “Try to find the humour in it all” and a “This looks like a good place to start digging my bomb shelter” mindset so I might try writing some satire while on my breaks from mixing cement.

Every single woman you know has had this happen to her. Even the goddamn president of Mexico.
Brava: “If I don’t file a complaint, then what message does that send to all Mexican women?” Ms. Sheinbaum said at her daily news conference, noting sexual harassment was a crime… “If this can happen to the president, what’s going to happen to all the young women & women across our country?”

This is a wonderful piece that shows the absolute courage of this girl and her family and team. The viciousness of anti trans hate, particularly from Christian organization is astounding. Thank you @brucearthur.bsky.social for not being a bystander to hate and bullying.
Harriette Mackenzie is such a rare athlete: she’s a BC college basketball star, and she is trans. This is the story of her season: an in-game attack, anti-trans hatred, outing herself, a lifetime of trauma, and how she kept going, despite it all. www.thestar.com/sports/baske...

Went to a Liberal rally tonight. Heard prime minister Carney speak. He is very human and funny in his stump speech. The last liberal rally I attended was for Pierre Elliot Trudeau. Kinda dates me. I’ve mostly voted NDP in the interim but not this time. #elbowsup.

Not the first time I've said it, but I do think we should sit with the fact that the folks likeliest to have predicted we'd elect a reality TV president who'd create a fascist police state where people would be put into unmarked vans for criticizing Israel have been widely ridiculed my entire life.

Is anyone else still enraged from watching CBC Katie Simpson interview of people in Tennessee last night? Their casual indifference to & lack of empathy for Canada & the chaos caused by their country to ours. Also their blindness to the rushing slide to authoritarianism in their country. #elbowsup

PP is like Trump, Musk, Peterson - a big danger to Canada.
There are many reasons not to vote for pp, but this is a big one for me.
