I am deeply appalled and angry to see “Firework” used on the @WhiteHouse TikTok account as a backing track for video footage of military strikes. I did not approve this, I was not asked, and I absolutely do not condone it.
I wrote this song to be an anthem of hope, healing, and inner strength for people going through their darkest personal moments. To see a message of self-worth and upliftment weaponized to soundtrack destruction and violence is a complete violation of everything my song stands for.
My music is for bringing people together, not celebrating warfare.
cult shit at the White House as Trump's cronies give him a standing ovation for minutes on end. Note how nobody wants to be the first to stop clapping.
CPP Investments seriously just posted a 12-page paper on how maybe performance benchmarks aren't fair and actually the best benchmark would be no benchmark at all
I wish Canada, Prime Minister @MarkJCarney, and all Canadians a Happy Canada Day. Ukraine joins you in celebrating this day. We appreciate Canada’s leadership in helping us protect the lives of our people across many domains: defense assistance, pioneering work on sanctions against Russia’s shadow fleet and financial sector, diplomatic advocacy, and much more. We are grateful that we can count on your continued support in all these areas. Thank you, Canada!
BC has 200+ First Nations with overlapping traditional territories covering every inch of the province.
As I explain to Global News: If we allow one provincial park to be shut down to non-Indigenous citizens on the basis of ancestry, it sets a problematic precedent for parks & public land all across BC.
I’ve been fighting this park closure since it first happened, and four summers later I’m not about to stop.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: BC’s beautiful provincial parks belong to ALL British Columbians.
FTP: LAPD killed her dog. He was wearing his Knicks jersey.
His name was Jameson. A golden doodle. One of the sweetest, most gentle breeds alive.
A neighbor called a noise complaint. That's it.
20+ officers showed up. Then a helicopter. For a noise complaint in an apartment complex.
And they shot Jameson dead. In front of his owner. In front of her child.
No warning. No de-escalation. Nothing.
The media is barely covering this. No headlines. No outrage.
Like it never happened.
If this was your dog... your child watching... how would you feel?
Jameson deserved better. That little boy deserved better. His mama deserved better.
James begs to be picked up then literally CRIES in happiness when I do it! 😂
This is the life every lab beagle deserves.
And we are going to give it to them.
