Came here to share the same verse, Dan, plus another one often missed. Arlo Guthrie has talked about always including theses verses, in honour of his dad.
Screen shot from the Rise Up Singing songbook: “As I went walking, I saw a sign there On the sign it said "No Trespassing" But on the other side it didn't say nothing That side was made for you & me! In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people By the relief office, I seen my people As they stood there hungry I stood there asking Is this land made for you & me? Nobody living can ever stop me As I go walking that freedom highway Nobody living can make me turn back / This...”

Anyone else getting Rob Ford “I cannot comment on a video I haven’t seen or that does not exist” vibes?

Canadians, if you haven’t already done so I encourage you to vote tomorrow. Here’s an essay about voting in these times www.antihate.ca/voting_when_... #Canada #HamOnt
Screen shot of a cover page of an essay on the Anti-Hate Canada website Voting When Everything Feels Terrible and No One is Coming to Save Us Election Day will be here before we know it and while many people know how they're voting, many others are disillusioned with the system and considering abstaining altogether. Here, the Canadian Anti-Hate Network's education program manager Hazel Woodrow offers their thoughts on voting under these circumstances.

Reminds me a bit of this book - Armando Valladares was imprisoned in Cuba, in part because he refused to display a sign that said “If Fidel’s a Communist then put me on the list. He’s got the right idea.”
Book cover that says THE SHOCKING BESTSELLER THAT MADE HEADLINES AROUND THE WORLD The Prison Memoirs of ARMANDO VALLADARES AGAINST ALL HOPE THE STUNNING EXPOSE OF LIFE IN CASTRO'S PRISONS Translated by Andrew Hurley

Finnegan is channeling Mr T. Haircut tomorrow. #Dogs #HamOnt 🐶
Black cockapoo badly in need of a haircut. The hair on the top of her head resembles Mr T’s 80s era “Mohawk” haircut. Hi bing side eye to the photographer. Mr T with his classic ATeam era “Mohawk” haircut. Styling with lots of heavy gold jewellery & an intense expression.

Thinking of Pretty Boy Floyd, by Woody Guthrie, for no particular reason today.
Yes, as through this world l've wandered I've seen lots of funny men; Some will rob you with a six-gun, And some with a fountain pen. And as through your life you travel, Yes, as through your life you roam, You won't never see an outlaw Drive a family from their home. © Copyright 1958 (renewed) by Woody Guthrie Publications, Inc.

On TVO tonight at 9 ET. Given what is going on in the world, a must watch.
Rise of the Nazis. S3 E3 Into the Abyss. A forensic examination reveals how, with green, manipulation, extreme ideology and ambition, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party seized power in Germany and ushered in the death of liberal democracy in just four short years.

As we prepare to vote in #Ontario, let’s not forget the Greenbelt land swap scandal and Ford & co’s cozy relationship with developers.

Lawsuit alleges former Ford staffers promised to use ‘backchannel contacts’ to get land rezoned. 1 of the staffers was at the centre of the Greenbelt land swap scandal.

Finnegan is staying with my mom, who took her to visit a former neighbour in a nursing home. Seems like a heartwarming tale until my dog’s real interest, Timbits, became clear.

Sharing this pic of my dog, from last year, rocking a badass hairdo. She’s a dog that prefers sitting on park benches to taking walks.
Small black cockapoo with ruffled fur that appears to be a punk rock hairdo . She is licking her nose and looking up, in anticipation of a treat.

Fellow Canadians, it is here too. We cannot look away. Our own election is coming soon.
matthewgreenndp Matthew Green MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT HAMILTON CENTRE For Immediate Release re: Fascist calls for mass deportations Hamilton has no place for fascist rhetoric, intimidation, or hate. The recent protest calling for mass deportations in front of Jackson Square crosses every line of decency and inclusivity our city stands for. This demonstration, filled with dangerous rhetoric, seeks to undermine the very principles of compassion, diversity, and unity that define Hamilton. Calling for mass deportations and targeting individuals based on ethnicity or nationality is not just divisive; it is a blatant attempt to strip away rights and freedoms. Let me be clear: these tactics echo some of the darkest chapters of history, where fear and violence were weaponized to marginalize entire communities. We cannot and will not allow this to gain a foothold here in Hamilton. I call on all Hamiltonians to stand firmly against these attempts to spread fear and division, and we will continue to fight for a community where everyone, regardless of background, feels safe and valued. Our message must remain clear: Hamilton is stronger together, and hate will find no refuge here. In Solidarity, Nan Sim Matthew Green, MP NDP Critic for Labour, Employment, and Workforce Development Hamilton Centre 630 Main Street E, Unit 1 Hamilton, ON L8M 1J7 (905) 526 0770 OTTAWA OFFICE Justice Building, Room 601 Ottawa, ON KIA 0A6 (613) 995 1757 matthew.green@parl.gc.ca matthewgreenndp • /MatthewGreenNDP • @MatthewGreenNDP © matthewgreen.ndp.ca
