9/11 victim Michael Massaroli’s son: "You do my dad's legacy & the legacy of all victims no honor using this tragedy to spread hate. I've had to spend 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers & sisters, people who don't look like them."

Things I was frightened of as a child:

Being flushed down the toilet (thanks big sisters)

The flying monkeys in the wizard of Oz

The whatever it was hiding in our basement cold room, the source of many instances of falling up the stairs

A dire warning, billionaire criminal Musk has set up a scheme in the form of a website votesafe.org in order to steal voter information.

Never click on the link and please share this everywhere so others won’t fall prey to it like so many others.

Something is deeply wrong with a political culture if repeatedly telling another country that they’re not a real country and that they need to be annexed is just considered “trolling”.
Americans hear "51st state" as Trump trolling. Canadians hear it as an existential threat to their sovereignty. That gap in perception is why Carney can't afford to look conciliatory, even if the economics of retaliation don't add up. This isn't just a trade war anymore.

Had to evacuate my local grocery store running (to be honest, at a sedate jog). Aftershock. Heartbreaking to see the fear and trauma on my fellow shopper’s faces which I’m sure my face mirrored.

Major earthquake in Colombia this morning affecting my city where 20 buildings have collapsed. Maybe our recently installed ultra right president will be distracted from his campaign of revenge against progressives. Fuerza Colombia.

I’m trying unsuccessfully to ignore the fact that a hard right utter 💩 will be inaugurated as president of Colombia this Friday and that his inauguration is in my city of Cali which massively voted for the leftist. Evil times ahead.
