Dear Royal Bank of Canada CEO Dave McKay

Happy 35th anniversary! Traditional gift for 35 years is coral.

Canada Is Ravaged by Fire. No One Has Paid More Dearly Than Indigenous People. The country’s record-breaking fire season has led tens of thousands of Indigenous people to flee their homes and ravaged forests they rely on for sustenance.

The hundreds of wildfires burning across so-called Canada have displaced over 25,000 Indigenous residents, leading to families sleeping in hotels and gyms, sometimes separated from their relatives.

To the encouraging man at Logan airport, who saw me run to the shuttle that was about to depart, knock timidly on the door to be let in, and gestured to me to bang assertively so I would be heard and let in: thank you!! Where were you when I was in graduate school?

We're thrilled to introduce our first-of-its-kind tool: Forest Eye 🌲 👁️

Now you can find out how much old growth was logged, when, where and by who.

From Todd Paglia, @stand.bsky.social's exec dir: "This isn’t a question of whether or not we can stop the worst impacts of climate change, it’s whether or not we will.

Sorry to bother everyone again, but I need you to fill out this doodle poll promptly. This struggle session won't schedule itself.

@courtneymilan.bsky.social I’m delighted to see you here!

In thirty years, the kids will ask us why we didn’t do enough for climate change, and we will have to say it was because a few thousand people who had more money than they could spend in a thousand lifetimes wanted more.

And one reason it's easier to gerrymander anything is that Dem voters - esp youth vote - have a history of only showing up for splashy presidential elections. GOP voters show up for *everything* and win control of stuff Dem voters don't think much about.
