"I used to think that was my magic - having the power to see things others couldn't - things they didn't even want to admit to themselves. But all you have to do is open your eyes. My eyes are wide open." #KimLiggett - #TheGraceYear #quote #book #booksky 💙📚

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

If Ontario elects Doug Ford and the Conservatives again on February 27, there is something seriously wrong with people in this province.

That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn't even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction. There wasn't even an enemy you could put your finger on. Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale

💙 you #Minnesota! We’re truly just built different! -5 in Feb: “why, that’s practically balmy! Anyone craving some ice cream after this? It’s on me!”
