"It remains a pretty shocking aspect of this country: the amount of money we provide to help rich kids get even further ahead of poor kids." Right now public schools won't be fully funded until 2034 (3 terms away if it holds) - denying an entire generation of kids proper schooling. It's a disgrace

Canada needs a simple and consistent way to discern between bad-faith propaganda outlets and people who do journalism, or this is going to continue to get worse. This isn't about left versus right. You can do good journalism from a conservative perspective. It's about your goals and processes.

This picture may haunt me to the end of my days. It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man. An axe taken to a car window and to our democracy. 1/ #MomSky
