Minorities manage to hold onto their cultures even when they are the smallest group in a country. If your culture is under threat because you’re not *majority enough* then your culture wasn’t that rich to begin with.

Backed!

So exciting!!!

New rule. A parent may only propose removing a book from the school library only after reading it in its entirety and delivering a book report to the librarian. Until then no discussion shall be entered into.

I am as disgruntled about waiting for the next book as anyone else. But that’s my issue not his. The man will write, or not write, as he will. To ask him to hand it over while he’s still actively creative is gross. Even if I wish he’d drop everything and focus only on it.

A Canadian government foreign policy account tweets: “Canada condemns the killing @AlJazeera journalists in #Gaza. Journalists are civilians — targeting them is unacceptable. We call for full accountability and for the protection of media everywhere. #PressFreedom #NotATarget”

The Canadian government won’t even name Israel, which took credit for murdering these journalists, in its post condemning them.

Not happening with the current administrations actions. Not a reflection on all Americans but we Canadians have to take a stand.

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity.

There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

This level of barbarity is unconscionable.

Nobody should be comfortable with children and families starving to death.

It is morally indefensible to allow the manufactured and man-made starvation to continue. The United States must stop funding and enabling this genocide.

First time I’ve ever written to my MP. May not even be read but we all need to flood their offices with our voices.

Write your MP. It might feel pointless but if we all raise our voices it is something. Condemnation without action is tacit approval.

Americans couldn’t afford the hospital bill for this level of burn.

Hard to find a more relaxing sound than that.

This needs to be a board game. PLEASE.

Loved all the stuff you guys made around this. It was so good.

Bring back back banners!

God I forgot just how boring and stupid question period is lol

Israeli strike kills nine of Gaza doctor's children, hospital says A British surgeon working in Nasser Hospital said he had operated on the doctor's surviving 11-year-old.

"the claim regarding harm to uninvolved civilians is under review".

Under review to do nothing about it but for it to somehow be the children’s fault I’m sure.

Horrendous.

This.

Do the bare minimum to keep civilians alive so we can continue to kill said civilians.

really enjoying the term "woke pope." fun to say, almost rhymes, strong consonants. excellent mouthfeel

The Western world won’t stand up to this until it’s comfortably too late to do anything but wonder what could have possibly been done.

I keep my head down and turn out good work and I just barely made rent this month, but a lady calls a kid the n-word at a playground and she raises a half-million dollars in a week. I don't get the world, and I don't like it. We are surrounded by rotten dogshit assholes and they're thriving.

Absolutely monstrous.

Conservative MP gives up seat for Pierre Poilievre to run in byelection A Conservative MP is giving up his seat to allow Pierre Poilievre to run in a byelection after Prime Minister Mark Carney said he’d be ready to call one “as soon as possible.”

Pierre running in an Alberta riding that just went Conservative by over 80% of the vote is like me trying to win the local talent show by demanding my parents be the judges www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

Politicians can spout talking points if they want but news platforms need folks like @davidwcochrane.bsky.social holding them to truth. Crafting a narrative can’t come at the expense of truth. And while it’s a Con here, he would do the same to a Liberal. More of this please, on all politicians.

Amazing how so on point Andor is.

Went to advance polling today. Nice to see a good crowd, had to actually line up which is a change. Hopefully that enthusiasm will keep going and we will get a nice high turnout!

We should all incorporate this wisdom into our lives.
