Dear Premier Ford, why do you think so many people are calling and begging you for help in the first place? Because you’ve broken this province! Healthcare, education, the environment, local government, affordability, quality of life have all been decimated on your watch.

I just got this 👇 in an email from Toronto Hydro. They're using the "X" platform to report power outages in Toronto.

Seriously?!?

X has become a toxic platform, and should not be used by credible public institution.

Anyone else concerned that @torontohydro.bsky.social will be posting their outage updates only on the Nazi site? So frustrated with public services and government continuing to use that racist and dangerous platform. @evansolomon.bsky.social #toronto #socialmedia @juliedabrusin.bsky.social

This is such a bummer. I worked really hard on this one.

One of my most “pinch-me” moments was working with Catherine O’Hara on the Audible adaptation of Anne of Green Gables, directed by Megan Follows. Catherine was so kind, so present, so funny, so heartbreaking, so warm, so talented, so vibrant. I will forever treasure that time with her.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

If you believe the polls, Donald Trump has an approval rating of under 40%. America is hitting the streets against his gestapo.

Doug Ford's approval rating... 34%.

But because of the ball washers and bootlickers of #CdnMediaColludes, we're sitting quietly while being robbed and disenfranchised.

Alex Pretti, the man shot by ICE in Minneapolis, appears to have previously worked with the federal government at the VA.

There is a photo of him on the VA website, where he’s cited as part of a medical research team.
