There is more to be 'commonly' aware of than any person can manage. Or have to. Your walk has been yours, mine has been mine. They may not have crossed let alone be the same. The common things we should have are patience, compassion and recognizing ourselves and each other as works-in-progress.

There’s way too many storefronts because of natural corporate greed from landlords
We need a vacany tax on the landlords who sit on empty land and profit while our neighborhoods become worse.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Canadians will get past the tariffs, we’ll take our business elsewhere. Canada will not be dependent on any nation, we are sovereign. Canada though, must now become a more militarized nation, and for this I will never forgive America.

No legitimate government would allow what is taking place in the US.
We need to really get serious about removals.
They're ignoring the constitution, the very most important duty they have is to uphold and protect it.
Crimes against humanity, harming the innocent.
How do you justify that?!

DON’T let Donald J. Trump die without first incurring the wrath of a nation for the rape of their little girls.
Please, let him know what he did was wrong & make him pay the price.

There's a ton of disinformation going around about elections.
Facts:
The federal government has no authority over elections per the Constitution.
Results are certified by States.
Even if lardass invoked Martial Law, Constitution would prevail.
President cannot suspend the Constitution, ever.
