You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

The worst case scenario for an AOC presidential run in 2028 is that she’s setting herself up for 2032 or 2036.

She is going to be president somedayβ€”it’s just a matter of time.

I had trouble understanding why any Canadians opposed a firearms buy-back plan β€” a simple way to have fewer weapons available to potential mass shooters without further ownership restrictions.

Now I REALLY don’t understand

Opinion | The War in Ukraine Has Become a Way of Life The war in Ukraine can look like the future and the past at once. But it’s just our present, the only one we know.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

β€œThis war no longer feels like an interruption; it’s just reality,” Nataliya Gumenyuk writes. β€œUkraine’s military may be exhausted, but it’s also the most battle-hardened in Europe.”

Our indigenous Canadian flag out in front of our house.

We actually aren’t allowed to display flags, as per our Strata rules.

But i figured that given what’s going on, and that today is flag day, nobody will complain.

Right now, for a lot of Canadians the temptation is to ignore Indigenous people because the threats from the US seem way more important. This turn to fervent and ignorant nationalism is a mistake. Don't alienate the people who know more about your "country" than you do. Find common cause instead.

This is the time for America to listen to the people who have experience with colonization and/or authoritarian regimes. You need us. Before it’s too late.

Super excited because today First Voice will be screening at @LASkinsFest! So proud of the homie, Mike J. Marin & entire cast and crew. From the table reads to the screening and feedback sessions, to other festival screenings, it's been a blessing to be a part of this project.
