Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx. 

In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

I love this so much.

Barack Obama sat down with Mayor Zohran Mamdani in a Bronx child care center, reading “Alone and Together,” a book about connection, community, and belonging to preschoolers.

Socialism Now Enjoys Widespread Support in Canada, Fraser Institute Says Fraser Institute says most Canadians agree ‘transitioning to socialism will improve the economy and well-being of citizens’

Our country needs a vision that doesn’t just take the world as it is, but fights for the world we need. Now more than ever, Canada needs the NDP.

Our campaign is charting the party's comeback — throwing open its doors to the 99% to build the biggest tent it has ever seen.

Cast your ballot today.

Three baseball cards against a sky background. The cards say that Sheilagh O'Leary (MHA for St. John's East - Quidi Vidi), Lorraine Michael (Former leader of the Newfoundland and Labrador NDP), and Gerry Rogers (Former NDP MHA, award-winning documentary filmmaker) endorse Avi Lewis for NDP leader.

Sheilagh O'Leary, MHA for St. John's East - Quidi Vidi, endorses Avi Lewis for NDP leader: "In a world facing heightened geopolitical tensions, a climate crisis, neglected in favour of corporate wealth, and a wage gap pushing people to their limits, the NDP needs a leader who isn’t afraid to challenge the narrative and push for creative solutions that put power back in the hands of the people."

Lorraine Michael, former leader of the Newfoundland and Labrador NDP, endorses Avi Lewis for NDP leader: “Avi Lewis is my first choice for the next Leader of the NDP. I want a leader who is not afraid of taking on difficult discussions that shake up the establishment. Avi has plans for how to do that."

Gerry Rogers, former NDP MHA and award-winning documentary filmmaker, endorses Avi Lewis for NDP leader: "In this time of uncertainty, confusion, impending crisis globally, Avi speaks with clarity, his analysis is based on principles of peace making, collaboration, deep respect and optimism. With all his passion and compassion, Avi Lewis might just be what the NDP needs right now, what Canada needs right now."

Honoured to have the support of Sheilagh O’Leary, Lorraine Michael, and Gerry Rogers.

Three remarkable Newfoundland and Labrador New Democrats who have spent their careers fighting for equality and justice, while delivering historic breakthroughs for the province.

I'm proud to have their support.

Three endorsement cards showing Ravi Malhotra, Melissa Graham, and Gary Malkowski endorsing Avi Lewis for NDP leader.

Two endorsement cards featuring Ravi Malhotra endorsing Avi Lewis for NDP leader. Quote: "Canadians need a strong leader who puts the marginalized at the centre of public policy. Principled and dedicated to fighting for those who have been silenced for too long, Avi is the leader that people with disabilities need to make substantive, real change on the ground."

Two endorsement cards featuring Melissa Graham endorsing Avi Lewis for NDP leader. Quote: "I am tired of watching my community of people with disabilities be the one of the first to feel austerity, not even considered in the federal economy. I am tired of watching people with disabilities choose death because they don’t have the resources they need. I am tired of feeling like those in power would rather wait us out, hoping we all disappear rather than making this land a more equitable and inclusive place to live. I’m endorsing Avi Lewis, because he knows it's time to do things differently, and he lifts up those who have known that all along.”

Disability rights are a defining struggle of our time.

These leaders have devoted their lives to breaking down barriers and fighting for a society where no one is forced into legislated poverty.

I’m grateful for their support and committed to fighting alongside the movement for real justice.

Four baseball cards against a sky background. The cards say that Marilyn Churley (former NDP MPP, Toronto-Danforth), Jim Morton (former MLA, Nova Scotia NDP), Gene Long (former NDP MHA, Newfoundland and Labrador), and Peter Prebble (former Saskatchewan NDP MLA and Cabinet Minister) endorse Avi Lewis for NDP leader.

These former provincial legislators are backing our campaign because they know bold ideas & big organizing are how we win.

They share our vision to tackle the cost of living, climate emergency, & inequality. I'm grateful for their confidence as we inspire Canadians in every region & community!

Graph shows that Avram Lewis (also known as Avi Lewis) made 141 additional donations to the federal NDP central party, ridings and candidates.

Hey Bill your question is based on false information. You need to also search people’s full name to get the actual picture of their donations. Avi seems to have actually made a total of 146 donations since 2015. Will you issue a correction or do facts not matter in internal #NDP politics anymore?

Your information on Avi’s donations is wildly wrong cause you didn’t search his full name. A full review of contributions from Avi (Avram) Lewis indicates he’s made more individual donations than any of the other leadership candidate. Will you issue a correction/apology? #NDP #cdnpoli #bcpoli #bcndp

So less #elbowsup and more sacrifice Canada’s sovereignty to determine its own tax policies cause Trump had a tantrum. Didn’t take long for Mark Carney to break his promise to stand up for Canada. The digital tax was duly passed 2 years ago. He should be ashamed he bowed to Trump on this one.

Everything Jagmeet Singh and the NDP said would happen is happening

Carney is Trump's biggest ally.

🔥 “You’re on the wrong side of history. You should be standing here with us… you took an oath to the constitution, not the fascists in the White House— he’s laughing at you… You’re tough behind your masks & fatigues, but how do you feel on the inside?” 🇺🇸

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

The LAPD is trying to change the "less than" part of their "less than lethal" innocent citizen shots

I’d put money on the fact he had no idea Charles is also the King of Canada. To be fair, neither does anyone at CNN based on their coverage of King Charles’s Speech from the Throne today in Canada. And you figure they have some researchers/reporters who could help em figure it out.

Yeah we’re pretty clear about that. Passed on it when Regan called it Star Wars so why we’d even consider it now is silly and for $61 Billion- well that would bring down our new minority government I think.

Hmmm… I have a Speech from the Throne from today and, you know, a couple hundred years of history, that indicates Canada is seriously considering telling Trump to F off (hint: we already have he just doesn’t understand the King’s English :)

That would be so weird. But same with having someone dress you. Aristocrats are weird.

Apparently the house has two butlers as opposed to any person. Like Carson and Barrow at the same rank in Downton. Chaos.

Yeah, that’s weird.

OK, not a dog person but that is pretty adorable

I had the exact same thought except, thankfully, didn’t have to think of him as my president cause I’m Canadian and he, and indeed no US President, will NEVER be out President. And thank god for that.

It’s not only the gold elements but also the kinda over the top nature of the decorations. Why have one portrait of a dead President when you can have all of em?

Truly wild how little he seems to understand about this.

Rubio publicly criticizing an ally for cracking down on right-wing extremism. And Germany hitting back. We are in a new world

The dumbing down begins with a Poilievre government
