Reminder the Greatest Canadian isn't a hockey player, nor musician or author, though many were contenders

The Greatest Canadian is Tommy Douglas
Why you may ask
Simple answer #Healthcare

"I came to believe that health services ought not to have a price tag on them, and that people should be able to get whatever health service required irrespective of their individual capacity to pay"

The living Israeli hostages have been released as part of a ceasefire deal that also saw about 2000 Palestinian prisoners freed.

Wait, but why are the Israelis “hostages” and the Palestinians “prisoners”?

In today’s video, that’s the question we’re exploring:

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

🧵 One of my favourite painters is Gabriele Münter (1877-1962). An expressionist, she is one of Germany’s greatest artists. Overshadowed, unfairly, by male peers her vibrant colour, female gaze, ravishing landscapes & authentic engagement are the work of an important artist [1]

People had to complain to get Polanski an interview.

Weird nobody has to beg the BBC to give Farage airtime.

I mean, it's not actually weird. We all know what it is and why it happens.

Dear Lisa Murkowski,
You turned a blind eye to this regime. What is happening to your state is a tragedy. You need to shoulder the responsibility of inaction by the federal government with help for your state. There is no FEMA or anyone else coming to your aid. Is this making America great?
