The Trump administration is trying to erase Black history. These writers are keeping it alive. At a time when Black history is being removed from schools, museums, and parks, Black journalists are fighting to tell a more inclusive American story.

The Trump administration is removing references to Black history from the nation’s museums, parks, and schools.

When history itself is being erased at the highest levels, who’s left to tell us where we’ve been and where we’re headed?

A handbook called If the Media Calls: A Guide for Crime Victims and Survivors

I think it’s very useful for members of the media to see ourselves through the lens of the people impacted by the terrible things they live though

The angel of abundance, the Dolly Lama of literacy, the distributor of almost a third of a billion books for kids.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Why We ‘Wackos’ Want Alberta to Stay in Canada | The Tyee The case against tying our fate to the US is simple: Sorry, not that.

Lisa Young: I disagree with the idea that it’s up to federalists to make a positive case for staying in Canada.

It is a perfectly reasonable — and very Canadian — approach to argue simply that the status quo is preferable to the alternative. 🇨🇦 #canpoli #abpoli

“We’re the only country in the world that has mail in ballots”. - Senile Satan

Just in case anyone is wondering, Canada has Mail in Ballots for every election, including Municipal.
We also have plenty of Advanced polls which we always use because voting shouldn't be hard. Everyone should have the opportunity to vote.

For context:

I’ll say it again. I’ve since retired, but when I was hired by the Federal government, Environment Canada required a ‘secret’ level security clearance before hiring. This involved being fingerprinted at your local RCMP detachment. You would think MPs would require an even higher clearance 🙄

Another year, another record high for Canadian oil & gas production. Record shows the federal Liberals have actually been good for Alberta's oil sands industry.

Good to disabuse people in Alberta of this myth. But also, hardly a compliment of the Liberals. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/06/o...

Alberta Does Not Have Grievances. It Has Issues Alberta doesn’t need a new constitutional deal or separation. It needs competent politicians.

Alberta Does Not Have Grievances. It Has Issues

Warren Buffett didn’t make this video about Canada-U.S. tensions. It’s AI slop — and you’re going to see a lot more of it New YouTube accounts are using AI fakes of famous Americans to stir geopolitical unrest in the pursuit of profits, experts say.

A red hat, inspired by a symbol of resistance to Nazi occupation, gains traction in Minnesota A Minneapolis knitting shop has resurrected the design of a Norwegian cap worn to protest Nazi occupation.
