I invite you to honor my mother, #CorettaScottKing, with me.

Without her, there would be no federal holiday commemorating my father’s birthday.

And @TheKingCenter, which she founded less than three months after Daddy was assassinated, would not exist.

I’m grateful for her commitment to freedom, true peace, justice, and Kingian nonviolence.

I’m inspired by her love for humanity, her faith in God, and her consistency to purpose.

Salute, Mama.

Leaving this here for all those politicians who still believe in tax cuts for the wealthy and trickle down economics.

The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept cheering and voting for the axe because its handle was made of wood and they thought it was one of them.

Conditions today are changing quickly, and we’re asking Manitobans to stay off highways if they can.

Please check 511 for current closures before heading out—it’s against the law to drive on a closed road.

Currently, the worst conditions are in the south, while northern roads are fine so far. The Perimeter is closed.

We’re out there responding. If you don’t have to go out, please stay home and stay safe.

We should all support Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation (SLCN) in their effort to stop DANIELLE SMITH Alberta Premier, from giving KEVIN O’LEARY land, or other support for an AI Data Centre on SLCN Treaty #8 lands & waters without seeking their free, prior, informed, consent!

For @TheTyee, I list all the ways Trump's complaints about trade with Canada are factually wrong and economically illiterate. Then I show 3 ways Canada subsidizes the US in trade (not the other way around): https://t.co/MGWrGmQ6MH #cdnecon #canlab /2

The Bread and Roses Strike began on this day in 1912, when women mill workers in Lawrence, Massachusetts, walked out. The strike ended in a landmark victory and popularized an enduring slogan: “The worker must have bread, but she must have roses, too.”
