Orban defeated: Good morning and goddamn it's a beautiful day All of a sudden, after months of total darkness, there is hope.

"After months of total darkness, there is hope. There's a sense that liberal democracy can still triumph against the populist threat, it can withstand the joint assault from the Kremlin & the WH ... the war can still be won & the battles are still worth fighting"

HUNGARY---Victor Orban concedes to this man, Peter Magyar, a cat guy! Bravo to the Hungarians for standing up against dictatorship.

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

Ford Protest March 28: print/post to as many places as possible! FIGHT FORD PROTEST SATURDAY MARCH 28 2026 111 WELLESLEY ST W QUEEN'S PARK 12PM JOIN THE PROVINCEWIDE MOVEMENT @ontarioprotest Doug Ford has gone rogue. From bike lanes, speed cams, banning FOl requests (which helped our bike lane fight), and now forceful YTZ expropriation. Doug thinks he's a king. He must be stopped.

Hey folks in the Toronto area. There’s a big protest against Ontario’s own Trump, the epically corrupt #DougFord, who has gotten away with SO MUCH, it’s jaw dropping. If you’re able, head to Queen’s Park, Saturday March 28 at noon. #Onpoli

The WNBA’s historic deal teaches girls everywhere to advocate for themselves | Etan Thomas A landmark new CBA should be a moment of progress. Instead, the discourse around the negotiations revealed the same old attitudes – and my daughters recognized them instantly * Sign up for WNBA 30: a limited run women’s basketball newsletter I interviewed Jemele Hill for my podcast The Rematch and asked for her reaction to the WNBA’s landmark new collective bargaining agreement, a seven-year deal that includes a salary cap increase to $7m (up from $1.5m in 2025), maximum salaries approaching $1.4m, 20% revenue sharing, expanded rosters, charter flights and more. Hill didn’t mince words. Continue reading...

The front of the Canada jersey as Vladdy G Jr walks into the stadium

The back of Vladdy's jersey shows it is #29, POULIN, the captain of the Women's National Team

There's always Vladdy Guerrero Jr., seen here arriving for Game 7 of the World Series in a Team Canada WOMEN'S HOCKEY jersey, for the Captain Marie-Philip Poulin.

Not just a good guy but non-toxic as fuck.

Canada should invite the American women's hockey team to join the Canadian women's team in a celebration of how far women's hockey has come.
I was inspired watching both teams.
As for Trump and the pumped up males who cheered on his derision of real athletes:
f--k them.

On the left: a photograph of President Donald Trump saluting. Trump is blurry and out of focus. On the right: text that reads “Politics has grown too big for politicians alone. Democracy cannot survive if it sees the public as a threat, not a partner”

Institutions alone do not produce democracy. People do.

We built the scaffolding—parliaments, courts, elections—and assumed the spirit would follow. It didn’t. Democracy’s renewal requires cultivating citizens, not just managing them. https://ow.ly/WOXn50YeQNB

Jimmy Cliff and the roots of Toronto's reggae scene, Part 1 - Spacing Toronto On November 24, 2025, Jamaican reggae legend Jimmy Cliff (né James Chambers) died at age 81. Twenty years prior, Cliff became only the fourth reggae artist to receive the Order of Merit (2003) – the h...

I wrote this feature about a true legend. He overcame endless criticism, and yet he never stopped being creative and reinventing himself. When he passed last November, I felt compelled to write something.

This is Part one, Part 2 drops tomorrow.

If you listen to one tune today, make it "Streets Of Minneapolis" by Bruce Springsteen. I laud the unvarnished truth of the Boss' lyrics and his fight for freedom and justice in that city and across the U.S. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWKS... #brucespringsteen #streetsofminneapolis #truth #freedom

Darkness Descends in Minneapolis It’s night in America, and the darkness is spreading quickly.

ICE have been goading the people of Minnesota with increasing acts of lawlessness. It is about giving Trump the excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act conferring total state power.
My thoughts on how Minnesota can respond with creative & determined resistance.
