What fits us all is peace, kindness, mercy and justice. Nobody should be scared to live in the light. Everyone should have a safe place to worship peacefully. 🕊️

The 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution allows people to believe or not believe in any religion they choose. This applies to everyone, not just those that follow the "right" God. The right fit for you may not be the right fit for your neighbor. 🫱🏼‍🫲🏾

Nobody should live life in the shadows, a place where hate often goes unchecked and criminals escape justice. ⚖️

Zohran Mamdani talked about the fear some people live in due to their religious beliefs. That in order to be safe, they must pray, worship, and practice their religion in the shadows. And leave their religion in that shadow.

Boccioni, like his fellow Futurists, was an ardent interventionist, campaigning for Italy’s entry into World War I on the side of the Allies. When Italy joined the war in 1915, he volunteered to fight. In August 1916, during cavalry exercises with his regiment, Boccioni fell from his horse. ... 🧵

Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US.

And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.
