Putting on my social scientist hat, the rally in Boston today reminded me of the continuing strength of US civil society. It was cosponsored by over 100 groups, including the ACLU, Urban League, churches and synagogues, and labor unions. It was extremely well planned and organized.

And being that Trump is here today, I hope he heard the message loud and clear.

No one will ever be able to silence the voices of the American people and we won't stop until we see the MAGAs gone from our government.

It makes me sad that ppl are afraid of an autism diagnosis when the diagnosis itself doesn't change who a person is, and actually makes a person who struggles with communication better able to communicate because it gives them words to explain their needs.

People across the country and around the world turned out on Saturday for what organizers say has been the single biggest day of protests against President Trump and his second-term actions.

In the U.S., more than a thousand rallies were planned in small towns and major cities from coast to coast.

The is no limit to how much brutality the Trump admin is willing to allow Russia to get away with. They have never once condemned a single atrocity committed by Putin. Trump played golf while this happened and didnโ€™t say a word about it.

Most Canadians are wary of Pierre Poilievre now. A vote for his party is a vote for Trumpism.

Am heartened by the protests taking place across the US. Let that spray-tan orangutan and his ketamine-gobbling rat friend feel the outrage of a nation.

Why Pierre Poilievre has suddenly gone silent on defunding the CBC Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has not mentioned his promise to gut the CBC at any of his press conferences or policy announcements since the election campaign started.

Pierre Poilievreโ€™s plan to shut down our public broadcaster is now so unpopular, heโ€™s afraid to talk about it!

Keep spreading the word about why we must stop his attempt to shut down the CBC. Encourage friends and family to join us: forwardcanada.ca/protectcbc
