On hearing of the death of Jill Sobule today, I’d be remiss to not share “Resistance Song.” Sharing songs of protest, inclusivity, freedom & hope, entry 12: youtu.be/gyUk1tv6CUU?...

This is a monstrously bad idea. If you don’t know why, cue up“16 Tons.” Sharing songs of protest, inclusivity, freedom & hope, 16 Tons, by Tennessee Ernie Ford entry 11: youtu.be/RRh0QiXyZSk?...

Just finished Omar El Akkad’s non-fiction debut. It’s a deep, dark, truthful mirror held up to the face of well-meaning leftists such as myself. I recommend audiobook (read by the author himself,) I did so via Libby (support libraries!) and it’s just a few hours to listen. Ceasefire now 🍉 Free 🇵🇸

Americans, This is about the threat your Pres. has made to our sovereignty, not about you, personally. And w/ the treatment of travelers at the border recently, would risk subjecting themselves to that? Sorry, but this is business we Canadians need to stand on. youtu.be/MIIVoYHWnlg?...

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

This is beautiful and with the state of things between Canada and the US right now, I’m glad so many of us are filled with pride and doing our part to stand up for Canada.
