🇨🇦 Canadians will never know how it felt to be an American reading election headlines tonight. We're so traumatized, it was disorienting to comprehend that people did the right thing. You're heroes to us.

REPOST if you are proud to stand with #Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney! 🇨🇦 🍁 ❤️

Me too!

Every day I am going to post this (permission from Del Schilling). Will you join me? Over 5700+ Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women & Girls #MMIWG #cdnpoli

Vancouver father, mother and 5-year-old daughter killed in Lapu-Lapu Day festival attack. Son, 16 year old Andy, stayed home. His father, stepmom, and little sister were killed in vehicle attack. He is with his grandparents now. Devastating. So sad for this community Just so heartbreaking.

In 1939, Sir Nicholas Winton quietly organized the rescue of 669 precious Jewish children from Nazi occupied land, giving them at a chance in life. While sitting in an audience, the host reveals he is surrounded by people who were the very same children he saved long ago. #MomSky #Voices4Victory

Hey BlueSky…could this guy get any better? 🐈‍⬛ #Canada #MarkCarney

🕯️ 7 years - almost to the day - of the Yonge Street van attack (incel driver) that killed 10 people. Sad day for Canada. 😔

Jean Chretien came out on a drizzly Saturday afternoon to support my local MP. It was great to have a chance to see him - he’s as sharp as ever!

The Secretary of the Navy, John Phelan, went to pay his respects to the servicemembers and civilians lost in Pearl Harbor on “June 7th, 1941.” It looks good, except Pearl Harbor happened on December 7th. It seems Mr. Phelan skipped that part of history class. Only the best people, right?

“The [Liberal] vote is well distributed across urban, suburban, and battleground ridings in Atlantic Canada, Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia. In contrast, Conservative support is more geographically concentrated—[which means] the Conservatives … have to substantially outperform them.”

As the “Bridging Our Friendship” event came to a close in Sault Ste Marie MI, we joined singing the Canadian National Anthem, “Oh Canada”. I always love singing it at baseball, hockey & even NASCAR races. @eupic.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com @leahgreenberg.bsky.social @ezralevin.bsky.social

🧵 This Yom HaShoah, I honor my Hebrew school teacher, Ann Jaffe: Holocaust survivor, educator, & the kindest souls I’ve ever known. At 9, I listened as she told how her family hid in a forest for 2 years. She showed us her tattoo—burned into her skin. I beg you: listen to her story. Say Never Again.

“Grouping” is what the Nazi’s did. We’re watching it happen again in real time. Stick together, stand in the gap for and with each other. Add: I am Asian. I AM ANYONE who’s oppressed! #StandStrongAndProudTogether #SheShed

Pope Francis gave his life to the cause of the ‘least of us.’ His humilty, grace, and devotion to following the example of Jesus Christ will never be forgoten. May he rest in peace. www.cnn.com/2025/04/21/e...

😳 what's going on here 🤷‍♂️

Straight talk from a Japanese representative about the Trump tariffs. Listen to what he says!! #MomSky #Voices4Victory

The Holocaust didn’t start with the gas chambers. It started when my friends Werner and Walter were taken from their homes when they were 14 and deported to Poland. They were tattooed 10 numbers apart in Auschwitz. #NeverAgainIsNow

The mountain was out today, pretty in pink.

I went into my bedroom to get ready for bed and what do I find? A monster on the bed, not under it.

#ResistanceRoots Civil rights activist Viola Liuzzo was born on this day in 1925 in California, Penn. Liuzzo traveled to Alabama in March 1965 to support the Selma to Montgomery march for voting rights. She was shot and killed by KKK members on March 25, 1965. /1

Our hearts are with the Dominican Republic, as so many grieve after this tragedy. To the families and friends who have lost their loved ones, the First Lady and I’s hearts are with you. Maryland is home to many Dominicans and we stand in solidarity with those here and abroad.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1945: U.S. forces liberate the Buchenwald concentration camp. Germans had already fled, and the camp’s underground resistance forces who held administrative positions saved lives by delaying forced evacuations and thwarting an attempt to blow up the camp. /1

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1944: Rudolf Vrba and Alfréd Wetzler escape from Birkenau death camp. They co-wrote a report detailing the mass murder taking place there. The Vrba-Wetzler report is credited with saving the lives of some 200,000 Hungarian Jews. /1

My 10 year old sister and I got Social Security payments after my father died from exposure to Agent Orange. It helped my widowed mom when the family lost his income. He paid into it his whole life. They even took it from his check while he was serving in Vietnam. Jeanine can go fuck herself.

🧵 Do Not let Trump rewrite history by denying the evil atrocities of the Holocaust. Hitler, in a 1939 speech, prophesied the "annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe." In the years that followed, he proceeded to boycott and shutter Jewish businesses, imprison and torture Jewish academics...

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1939: Marian Anderson performs for 75,000 people at the Lincoln Memorial. The DAR had refused to allow the renowned contralto to sing in Constitution Hall, so FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt helped arrange the concert on federal property. /1
