They’re detaining children. I had to pause & let that sink in.

Children in Minneapolis are traumatized because ICE hangs around their schools & detains their schoolmates. They must be so afraid. πŸ’”

Sending love to my American neighbours who are fighting for democracy. Keep fighting. #resistance

I have to say I’m enjoying this approach a bit. It reminds me of parenting advice I got regarding temper tantrums. Don’t react, don’t give in. Be the adult in the room. #Canadastrong

This should be getting much more attention. Thank goodness Charlie Angus is amplifying this and other threats to our citizens and democracy, so I’m going to do my part and amplify his message. #Canada #MapleMeidas #resist

This Is Not the Time to Make Nice Earlier this month, Prime Minister Carney announced an invitation for Kevin Roberts, the architect of Project 2025, to meet with his Liberal Cabinet ahead of Parliament's return.

Here is my reflection on the PM's attempt to meet with the architect of Project 2025. There is no dialogue with those who brag about destroying democracy and suspending the rights of citizens.
This is the lesson that Europeans learned too late in the 1930s.

This isn’t cool. At the very least, the optics aren’t good. At worst, our government is entertaining known threats to democracy & legitimizing their views. You can’t be β€œa little bit authoritarian” any more than you can be β€œa little bit pregnant”.

I’ll be emailing the PM to express my concerns.

I don’t know if it’s polite to publicly post the senator’s contact info so Cnds can send him feedback on his letter, even if it can easily be found at legislature.maine.gov/district19

I’m going to send him a link to @charlieangus104.bsky.social YouTube post, just in case he missed it.

TRUMP INVITES WAR CRIMINAL PUTIN TO USA - CHARLIE ANGUS
YouTube video by Charlie Angus TRUMP INVITES WAR CRIMINAL PUTIN TO USA - CHARLIE ANGUS

Donald Trump invited an indicted war criminal Vladimir Putin onto American soil. This man has stolen over 19,000 Ukrainian children. This is an international war crime. Trump wants to kiss this gangster's ring.
We need leaders speaking up for the stolen children.

Again, read this story! The US Coast Guard crossed into Canadian jurisdiction, rammed this Canadians boat and he almost drowned, then arrested and zip tied him after dragging him into US territory. The US is pushing their limits and aggression.

This is a long read, but it’s a good read. A little bittersweet because while it’s good to see Canadian patriotism, I grieve at the cost both countries have had to pay to bring us to this point. #Canadastrong

Are you sorry to be raising kids in times like these?

Never feel sorry for raising dragon slayers in a time where there are actual dragons.

Are you sorry to be raising kids in times like these? Never feel sorry for raising dragon slayers in a time where there are actual dragons.

We live in a time where parenting means raising dragon slayers.

Whether they will slay quietly or ferociously, we need them out there slaying with us.

Parent well, my friends.

I teach psychology & started talking about how dangerous Trump was & the potential fall into authoritarianism back in 2016. Some student & even a few family members thought I was overreacting. This is the most heartbreaking β€œI told you so” in my life. I wish I was wrong. πŸ’”
