A tough final against the Red Roses, but so proud of the Canadian women and their silver medal at the Rugby World Cup! Such an amazing tournament for these women, and the women of all the nations competing! #rugby #rugbyisamazing #canada

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

This thread reminded me I should update to a summer scene. So I changed it to this from last summer.

McCartney is who I thought of when right away. He has had albums near the top of the charts up until 2020 (last album was #1 in the UK and #2 in US). Clearly not the relevancy of the Beatles years, but incredible staying power!

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?
