What binds Trump & his supporters? - Hatred for non-white people!!! = In India, Modi supporters share hatred for Muslims & Christians in that order. Nothing else matters.
2025 I meant
And it was really heartwarming that U2 chose to film this song in our home country 🇨🇦 and especially in Vancouver which also later hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics as well!

And in addition, they also sang Pride as well and Bono included a very powerful message as part of that song that needs to be paid attention even in 2025 as well even though this was from 2009 as he also advocated for the Two-State Solution even in 2009 just like he did in 2005.
And City of Blinding Lights was also the official Campaign Song used by @barackobama.bsky.social when he ran for the U.S. Presidency in 2008 and 2012 as well! And U2 performed that song at a pre-US Presidential Inaguration Concert in January 2009 before Barack Obama became the 44th US President
U2 are One of my favourite Rock and Roll Bands and love Bono especially for the Humanitarian Work and Activism for a better world that he and the band did. In 2005. They filmed one of my favourite U2 Songs "City of Blinding Lights" was filmed in Vancouver, Canada! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziOZ...

Nurses at University Medical Center New Orleans work tirelessly in dangerous conditions to provide the best care to their patients. They voted to form a union over 620 days ago & are still fighting for their first contract. Unacceptable. UMCNO must deliver a fair contract now.
The climate crisis is real. And it is now affecting water supply here in Canada as well. Thank goodness we elected Mark Carney to be our Prime Minister instead of Poilievre. Hoping the situation in NFLD will be resolved ASAP and also time to ensure Water access for all Indigenous communities too

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

Yes. He must and if he breaks rules. He needs to be dismissed repeatedly. He will never be a Canadian Prime Minister because he's a Residential School Denialist
I am difficult,nasty and a bitch and damn proud of all 3 thank you

On Monday, the first day of school, students in 70 high schools went on strike, demanding a deal to return the hostages and end the war. Among them was Rotem Ben Barak, giving voice to a generation refusing a future of endless war.

In addition to appearing on Sesame Street which I watched when I was young. She was also the voice of Valerie Frizzle in the Magic School Bus Franchise TV Series (1994 Original series and 2017 Rides again series) and those 2 shows were made with the help of Nelvana and 9 Story Media in Canada
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
The fight for working people is personal to me. I come from a union family, I carried a union card. This Labor Day—and every day—the Democratic Party is standing up for union jobs and against these sweeping Republican attacks on working men and women.
🔥Happy Labor Day, Resisters! Tom Arnold just served a Labor Day roast of Trump, Epstein, RFK Jr, Mark Burnett and fake cancel culture. 📺A must-watch episode: youtu.be/-wwqiLAXBCY?...
However hard Modi/BJP/RSS try, they cannot pull down Pundit Nehru, because he has set standards very high as a leader, politician, statesman & Prime Minister. In 2015, at 60th anniversary of NAM in Bandung, Sushma Swaraj omitted Pundit Nehru's role. Other leaders did acknowledge him. .
Way to rise up San Diego Labor Day ✊
Honored that Mark is now a Democracy Docket member.🙏 The force of democracy must be with us!!!🥳
We are suing Texas in two cases -- one voting, one redistricting.
We are already suing Ohio.
Today's a good day to learn Colbert found a new job. Hope it's a good one for everybody! #HappyLaborDay
Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
GPS jamming/spoofing is a clear and deliberate act of aggression against our civil aviation. This incident highlights russia's demagoguery, hostility, and how it cannot be negotiated with. The time is NOW to seize their assets in Europe, to stop the funding of their genocidal effort.
This is nothing else but a hybrid war that Russia wages against Europe Let's name things as they really are:Russia has made an assassination attempt of the President of the European Commission Russia has been jamming GPS-signals over many Eastern Europe countries that are in its immediate vicinity
Unions built this city and keep it running. They’ve fought against power and greed to make the impossible possible. Now, they need an ally in City Hall. On Labor Day, the presidents of the Hotel Trades Council, 32BJ and SEIU 1199 make the case at @cityandstateny.bsky.social.
As we begin a new month, my law firm is litigation 51 voting and election cases in 25 states. 6 in Arizona 6 in Georgia 4 in Florida 4 in North Carolina 8 involve redistricting
Congrats to you Devin and Felander on your wedding!
We could definitely use a major expansion of the Film Industry and Studios, TV Production and Studios, and Animation across Canada in order to promote Canadian Films and TV Shows for all ages including the ones that exist in Toronto and Vancouver and share it worldwide @stevenguilbeault.bsky.social

Where’s Gander? We’re on it! Been a busy, heads down kinda summer, but this is a quick update. August Closed Beta has moved to September, but we still have plans to open up more broadly end of October. More to come!
Let me be frank. Canada has a hand to play in this situation. Any of you that failed at something today: I am proud of you. Anyone who hasn't isn't trying hard enough. I expected better of you.
Once the effects of all the recent work and agreements signed by Team Canada start to kick in this will start to change. And once the changes start showing it will snowball.
🎶 Opening night of the Berlin Philharmonic season was great fun with a Schumann, an oboe concerto by Bernd Alois Zimmermann, and Brahms's Symphony No. 1! Kirill Petrenko was in fine form. Bravo! 🎉

My experiences with the Ottawa Transitway were good, although it's not representative of BRT systems.
I track my unpaid hours
No more unpaid labour!
Time to change that and ensure each and every worker in all fields including Female Workers, 2SLGBTQIA+ workers, Indigenous workers and people of all diversities get properly paid for the work they undertake in all fields
Congrats on your book release Robert!
I hope you find my new book helpful for understanding the time we’re in, how we combat the bullies, and why I believe so passionately that we will succeed. Here's a bit more on why I wrote it.
I can think of no better leverage that Denmark has over the United States re: Trump's Greenland fixation than withholding LEGO shipments to the United States.

We never do hear constructive things from little PP do we? It was his government under Harper that put us here. Media needs to point that out more. Fact checking should be an actual trend in journalism again..

In another instalment of: “What She Said” Joly roasts Poilievre's record after 'phony declaration' comments: "I think Mr. Poilievre needs to look at himself in the mirror. When he's describing what you just said, I think he's talking about his own policy." Mic drop 🎤 😂😅🤣
