The legacy media is failing us. Support independent media.

Barely three days into Trump 2.0 and one thing is clear: Wherever & whenever possible - state & local govt, corporations, nonprofits, PTAs, soccer leagues, whatever - leaders will need to be *even more* compassionate, inclusive, authentic, & genuine.

People are going to be starved for it.

I found the below to be so over FB way. Unfuckingbelievable!

Message to the convicted felon in Mar-A-Lago:
Unlike you, Canadians don't need to boast or brag.
They are fair and they are steadfast.
They won't lose sleep when a slob like you hurls insults.
That's because Canadians know who they are.
And when push comes to shove, Canadians are as strong as fuck.
