For 55 years, Sesame Street has welcomed all children to learn and play with our furry friends, friendly monsters, and warm and gentle grown-ups.

Everyone has a place on Sesame Street and has since our first episode premiered on November 10th, 1969. Happy #SesameStreetDay

"This is PRECISELY the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write... That is how civilizations heal."

Dark clouds have gathered over the US but with all our love and strength the rains will renew and not devastate. But it will take all of us not giving up because giving up rewards injustice.

Former judge and senator Murray Sinclair dies at 73
A sacred fire will be lit in his honour on the grounds of the Manitoba legislature, ironically on the spot where the Queen Victoria statue once stood.

How many people on ODSP could be lifted out of poverty if @fordnation prioritized them over $200 for all?

Many Indigenous children who died and were buried at Indian residential schools are not missing but disappeared, says Kimberly Murray.

That means they are “victims of enforced disappearance,” a crime against humanity, Murray says in her final report. https://t.co/8Z2aiBqDtu

Wow -- Biden to Native Americans for abuses in Indian Boarding schools: "The federal government has never apologized for what happened. Until today. I formally apologize as president of the United States of America! ... it's long overdue. Quite frankly there's no excuse."

The punishment for science misconduct is …. nothing. All these men are still running labs / paid professors.

Nearly a century ago, the brave Famous Five took a stand on a simple truth: women are persons.

It wasn’t easy. They faced backlash, threats, and a legal system that didn’t want to change. But their victory changed the course of Canadian history — and paved the way for the incredible women leaders we have today.

HUGE NEWS: 7 youth who took the Ford gov't to court — arguing axing cap+trade violated Charter rights — have won their appeal. Judges said Ontario's failure to reduce emissions was "contributing to an increase in the risk of death & in the risks disproportionately faced by" youth

What could $3.2 B do in healthcare? Or in our schools? Or for people on ODSP? Or to rectify the workers harmed by the unconstitutional Bill 124?Or for the children with autism on the waitlist?

I don’t want $200 I want the end of hallway healthcare, I want services! @OFLabour

Congratulations to Nihon Hidankyo, a group of survivors of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, for winning the Nobel Peace Prize. At a time when the threat of nuclear weapons is growing – and the taboo against threatening their use is weakening – Nihon Hidankyo’s work reminds us that these weapons have a terrible human cost, and that the pursuit of a world without nuclear weapons is an essential part of making sure we leave our children a safer, more secure world. Nihon Hidankyo built a powerful movement out of personal tragedy and insists upon our common humanity.
