Teacher and mum. Be kind and do what you know is right.
During his flight to New Orleans to attend the Super Bowl on Sunday, President Donald Trump signed a proclamation declaring Feb. 9 “the first ever Gulf of America Day” as Air Force One flew over the body of water that he ordered to be renamed from the Gulf of Mexico.

Screenshot of a CBC news article in which Trump suggests permanently displacing Palestinians so the US can take over Gaza.
Gaza belongs to Palestine — and no one else.
Trump's threats are utter madness. They violate every international law. Destabilize the region. Threaten the ceasefire.
Canada must stand up to this forcefully.
Gaza is not for sale, it belongs to Palestinians.
This is so good.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION SUBJECT: New Annual Media Rotation Program for Pentagon Press Corps For over a half-century, the Pentagon Press Corps has benefited from working out of individual office spaces that provide coveted and open access to some of the Department's top military and civilian leaders. Known as the Correspondents' Corridor, this office space loaned to media outlets by the Secretary of Defense stands as a tribute to the importance the Department has long placed on informing the public about the U.S. military and all it does to project peace through strength. It also honors the many correspondents who put their lives on the line, and in many cases died, while covering our finest in battle. In order to broaden access to the limited space of the Correspondents' Corridor to outlets that have not previously enjoyed the privilege and journalistic value of working from physical office space in the Pentagon, beginning February 14, 2025, the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs will implement a new Annual Media Rotation Program for those dedicated media spaces. Each year, one outlet from each press medium - print, online, television and radio - that has enjoyed working from a physical office in the Pentagon will rotate out of the building to allow a new outlet from the same medium that has not had the unique opportunity to report as a resident member of the Pentagon Press Corps. This year, the following news outlets will begin their rotation by vacating their physical office space effective Friday, February 14, 2025: Print - The New York Times TV - NBC News Radio - National Public Radio Online News - POLITICO In their place, the following outlets from each medium will be invited to move into the Correspondents' Corridor workspaces formerly occupied by the above four outlets. Print - New York Post TV - One America News Network Radio - Breitbart News Network Online News - HuffPost News (aka The Huffington Post)
To be clear, the outlets that vacate the spaces loaned to them by the Secretary will remain as full members of the Pentagon Press Corps. They will continue to enjoy the same media access to the Pentagon and will be able to attend and cover briefings and be considered for travel with civilian and military leaders in the Department as they have previously. The only change will be giving up their physical workspaces in the building to allow new outlets to have their turn to become resident members of the Pentagon Press Corps. Thank you in advance for participating in the Pentagon Press Corps Annual Media Rotation Program. By turning over the office space loaned to you by the Secretary, you will ensure that new outlets will have the same opportunity you have enjoyed covering our nation's finest up close from office spaces inside the walls of the Pentagon.

With Elon and Donald, it all comes down to their dollars, not your lives.
I’m currently reading Front Desk to my Grade 4/5 class in Delta, BC. They’re loving it. It fits right into our current units of inquiry; one on human migration, the other “we live storied lives”. We’ll be writing about our own family migration stories soon.

They’re dismantling democracy while we watch. It’s time to stop watching and start fighting back.
Are you ready to take the streets?
#LiberalCanadians - thank you for support. We are in this together, watch out for your own right-wingers! You must stop them before it's too late.
