Surprised how emotional today feels- a big day for our neighbour to the south, and for all of us- tears listening to @TheAmandaGorman and seeing @KamalaHarris - so grateful for the passion, commitment, sacrifice and vision of so many people who made today happen #Inauguration2021

This win matters. On so many levels, in so many ways, for so many people. What a relief. Thank you to all the American people who poured themselves into fighting corruption and hate, and fought for love, justice and inclusion — we see you #Election2020

.@kristatippett had a very good @onbeing podcast with Arlie Hochschild about the social impact of emotion and how we need to take this more seriously in our body politic.

That facts are not facts, but rather what people *feel* to be true.

Happy anniversary @refugee613!!! 🥳❤️ You’ve had such a positive impact on #refugee resettlement in #Ottawa over the past five years (has it only been that long?!) — celebrating you today!

[Louisa Taylor @louisaINK]

Five years ago today, we launched @refugee613. But refugee welcome in Ottawa started long before that, and everything we did built on work by amazing volunteers in faith groups, settlement agencies, CHCs & more. Thank you for showing us what can be done when people come together!

I asked: When the time comes, what would you like to be remembered for?
"Someone who used whatever talent she had to do her work to the very best of her ability. And to help repair tears in her society, to make things a little better through the use of whatever ability she has."

In 145 years only White people have sat on Canada’s Supreme Court. Indeed not a single Canadian government (Liberal or Conservative) has even nominated an #Indigenous or non-White individual to Canada’s top court. #BIPOC #SCC @SCC_eng

[ByBlacks @ByBlacks]

Canada has only acknowledged its relationship to slavery via the Underground Railroad. But right on time for Emancipation Day, the Liberal government has announced four separate "historic designations" including slavery in Canada between 1629 and 1834.
