Trump is building the groundwork for his legacy: robbing Americans blind.

Tax breaks to the rich don't "trickle down". They just make the rich, richer. Which gives them more power to ignore the poor.

Bhutan & Surinam are countries that are actually carbon negative. They absorb more CO2 than they emit. It is possible!

In modern America, tax breaks for the rich are paid for by reducing health care for the poor and dismantling green energy programs. Classic. Republicans have warped values. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Saw this guy on my walk today... he said I could take his picture.

As in many countries, American corruption is protected by the naivety of the electorate: the refusal to believe that it could happen in the US. And among Christian Nationalists, corruption is confused with God's blessing.

Some have criticized the new Pope regarding words he reflected about queer people as Cardinal. But those are past, and not his words as Pope. Pope Francis had to grown into accepting the LGBTQ community. I hope that Leo will do the same. Compassion for the poor and marginalized is a good start.

Your School House Rock moment......

By the way. They elected a polish pope when Poland was fighting fascism. Just saying.

Show your age! What was number one on the day you were born and the day you turned 18? Day I was born: "Blue Velvet" (Bobby Vinton) Day I turned 18:"Endess Love" (Diana Ross & Lionel Ritchie)

How we know that the new pope is a great man.

New pope, but I hope more of this: "The earth’s resources are also being plundered because of short-sighted approaches to the economy, commerce and production." 🌍 www.vatican.va/content/fran...

At first I thought this was just a joke from those who opposed Trump. But it's real. And Republicans compliment the irreverance. They really do worship him. This is frightening. 😱

Why am I afraid that there's more truth to this than most Americans want to believe?

If you see this, post a character who makes you happy.

Being Canadian and Christian gives me a perspective that misses many Americans with my background. It means I don't have to be fascist. I am learning to love my neighbour. Even the fascist ones.

So much for morality and business being separate. When the world has a choice, from social media and electric cars to wizards and hufflepuffs: integrity, honesty and compassion matter.

Happy International Workers Day!!
