@g_swanbon @TreysNewTruth @mmpadellan I’d like to know why you think the charges are a sham when he had bragged about breaking the law and getting away with it. I mean, he denies the charges but he bragged about what he did which is why they knew he did it? NDAs are legal, but not the crimes they’re used to hide?

Should a former President enjoy immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct during his tenure in office❓️

Raise your hand if you see the difference ✋️ #scotus

@bluefax_voice Honestly I’m shattered your audiomovie version is gone. I put the three available YouTube chapters on repeat for my macaw who listens to it while I’m at work. This was such an incredible work of art - is there no way to get it licensed? Audibled? Officialised? 🥺

@RichardAngwin I wonder if the religious right is aware that Jesus was woke.

[Valeri @Valaleri]

@mmpadellan Wow, the responses to this, as if the news wasn’t full of little girls - one only 9 I believe? - being forced to carry to term almost as soon as Roe v Wade was overturned. And I’m so sick of the notion that a zygote has more rights than a human being. *sigh*

In honor of Keanu Reeves' birthday today:

“This is Matrix movie star Keanu Reeves. He was abandoned by his father at the age of 3 and grew up with 3 different stepfathers. He is dyslexic. His dream of becoming a hockey player was shattered by a serious accident. His daughter passed away at birth. His wife passed away in a car accident. His best friend, River Phoenix, passed away of an overdose. His sister battled leukemia.

No bodyguards, no luxury houses. Keanu lives in an ordinary apartment and likes wandering around town and is often seen riding a subway in NYC.

When he was filming the movie "The Lake House," he overheard the conversation of two costume assistants, one crying as he would lose his house if he did not pay $20,000 - On the same day, Keanu deposited the necessary amount in his bank account.

In his career, he has donated large sums to hospitals, including $75 million of his earnings from “The Matrix” to charities.

In 2010, on his birthday, Sept 2nd, Keanu walked into a bakery & bought a brioche with a single candle, ate it in front of the bakery, and offered coffee to people who stopped to talk to him.

In 1997, some paparazzi found him walking one morning in the company of a homeless man in Los Angeles, listening to him and sharing his life for a few hours.

In life, sometimes the ones most broken from inside are the ones most willing to help others.

This man could buy everything, and instead, every day he gets up and chooses one thing that can not be bought:

To be a caring person.
Simple Acts of Kindness

Share this — who knows, maybe Keanu will see it for his birthday!”

@mmpadellan Well. These comments are extremely telling. Thanks for keeping a presence on formerly-known-as-Twitter amidst the sharply rising tide of ignorance and hate. *sigh*

@Secondman76 @mmpadellan …you DO know Muslims don’t eat kosher food, right…? How are you so bigoted that you don’t even know enough about a religion to correctly attack it?

[Valeri @Valaleri]

@theJagmeetSingh This is a great idea, but you know what else would be great? Re-establishing wages linked to profits, higher corporate and millionaire taxes, and ethical business mandates. And also restoring rent control period, and tying cost of living to an adult minimum LIVABLE wage.

[Valeri @Valaleri]

@RichardAngwin Will I have books and tea? If so, this would be my dream vacay!

[Valeri @Valaleri]

@cafreeland It’s much easier for Poilievre to throw around hot button phrases and emotion stirring promises, but all he’s worked so far is policies that will strip women of our rights abd cut more tax payer benefits. He’s a charismatic pedlar telling people the brass is gold. He scares me.

[Valeri @Valaleri]

Miss Milo took a trip!

[Valeri @Valaleri]

@RichardAngwin Okay usually yes I believe this, but the press has become an irresponsible spigot stuck into the keg of dis- and misinformation and where it isn’t pouring out that toxic nonsense it is both-sides-ing” black and white situations where wrong is abundantly clear.

So many 2SLGBTQIA+ people lose their families when they come out, and I am proud to offer myself as a stand-in for Pride. 🌈 https://t.co/VLer3uU91m

I am home sick from this smoke, with Milo and the air purifier in my bedroom so we can breathe. We need change now. @350Canada has a petition calling to end all public financing for the fossil fuel industry. You can add your name here. #StopFundingFossils https://t.co/WpZrFhefOm
