You know that Canucks hockey is back when @passittobulis.bsky.social
drops comparisons between Lekkerimäki and Denis Villeneuve, and I’m here for it all. "Like pretty much any moment from Bladerunner 2049, it was a beautiful shot"

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the Bronx and Harlem at our paper shredding events — we cleared out old junk mail, built community, danced, took family portraits and enjoyed frozen treats (it still felt a lot like summer). Thanks to everyone who joined.

I don't think there's a world where you can cut Lekkerimäki OR Cootes from the opening night roster. They're the clear best choices! #Canucks

Now that's what a power play should look like. Slick puck movement, great rotations around the zone, creative use of space. Seeing the influence of having not one, but two assistant coaches working on the power play. #Canucks

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith plans to use the Charter’s notwithstanding clause to pass not one, not two, but three bills to override the rights of Albertans.

Take 2 mins to tell her: our rights are off limits!

“Fascism is not new. It wears a new dress, buys new boots—but it can only reproduce fear, denial, and the loss of will to fight.”

Toni Morrison’s timeless warning on fascism & censorship still rings out today.

Illustrated cover with two women in front of a window, one thoughtful and the other with a defiant look. Text: "Toni Morrison on Fascism and Censorship."

Text describing June Jordan and Toni Morrison's involvement in a group of Black women writers in NYC, addressing oppression and liberation.

Illustration of a hand writing in a notebook, which appears to be on fire, set against a red background. The image is overlaid on fiery flames, conveying urgency and intensity. Text below discusses the erosion of public spaces and services, highlighting the struggle for freedom and resistance against silence.

Text titled "Peril" by Toni Morrison discusses authoritarian regimes suppressing dissenting writers through control, censorship, and fear. In the background, blurred barbed wire conveys restriction and oppression. The tone is critical and thought-provoking.

Just as an aside on this: I understand Antifa isn’t an organisation and it seems like Stupid Trump. But I feel the next step will be for the regime to define who or what is Antifa. The parameters are specifically vague so anyone Trump doesn’t like can be branded a terrorist.
