Happy that my first-ever book talk will take place at a Protactile gathering! As Derrida said: "I will never stop beginning or beginning anew to think with them on the basis of the new beginning they give me."

The president’s obsession with the Somali community and me is really unhealthy and creepy. He is trying to deflect from his failures and sinking approval ratings. Sorry, Trump, we all see through your attempts to hide from your broken promises.

This government claims to be concerned about wasteful spending and bureaucracy, but at the same time they're forcing school boards to divert money meant for our kids into government advertising, while also requiring the minister's office to personally approve every single school name.
