I always think of this photo on D-Day.

The doctor gets paid even if the patient dies. The lawyer gets paid even if she loses the case. The Police Chief gets paid even if the murder rate increases. Shall I go on? What an ignorant post.

June 6, 1944. Today, we mark the anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy. 14,000 Canadians stormed Juno Beach, showing unparalleled bravery in the face of fierce resistance. 359 Canadians made the ultimate sacrifice that day.

We stand in silent gratitude for the heroes who broke through the Atlantic Wall and paved the path to liberation.

My great-uncle Herb Reichlin lost an eye fighting for this country in Europe and is buried in Arlington Cemetery.

I am confident that he would have been furious to hear the plight of refugees crossing the Mediterranean described as an invasion in comparison to D-Day.

If public schools were able to require a parent to come to the school every time their child misbehaved, the issue would be solved in a week. I’d love a policy where if the child is disrupting, the parent comes and must spend minimum 30 minutes with their child (somewhere private) and regulates their child or takes them home for the day. No punishment, just parental restoration instead of making the school do it.

An appropriate post from Zelensky on the anniversary of D-Day. Nothing from Trump. Which is appropriate, since Zelensky is a fighter against tyranny, unlike Trump.

#BREAKING: Rep Madeleine Dean: “…I said to him, Mr Acting Attorney-General [Todd Blanche], when are you going to prosecute? So far we have one dead guy [#Epstein] and one woman in a Summer Camp [Ghislaine Maxwell]. When are you going to prosecute those who victimized, trafficked, abused, raped girls and women, more than a thousand of them? He blamed the victims. He said they really haven’t come forward with the names…right then I knew the coverup was complete.”😳

Charlie Angus: There was a group of young Normandy students, and two young teenage girls read a poem in French to the commemoration ceremonies and to the immense field of the dead. And she said, "We are the children that you never had. We are the children of liberty."

And there wasn't a dry eye in the house, but I always remember because Charles Scott Brown, in his 90s, stood up. And he broke protocol, of course, and he said to those young girls, "Don't cry for any man in this field. They came to free you, and they would do it again if they were asked."

That's what we come from. That is [Canada's] legacy. Do you think that we're going to let the likes of Pete Hoekstra push us around, or Donald Trump and his predator government threaten us? That's what we represent.

Ten years ago, this was straight up far right Nazi shit. Comparing migrants and refugees to Nazi invaders and inciting violence against them.

Now it’s the US Defense Secretary saying it quite casually.
Dark times.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

82 years ago, 14,000 Canadians landed on Juno Beach, many of whom would never come home.

On the anniversary of D-Day, we pause to honour those who served and sacrificed. We remember that our rights, our freedoms, and our way of life were fought for and were won by those who answered the call.

A disgrace to the memory of the men and women who gave their lives to win World War II.

[Reed Galen @reedgalen]

If you’ve been to the American Military Cemetery in Normandy, and you’ve looked out over those rows of crosses and stars of David, you’ll know how odious this man is. Those men didn’t die for this ideology or assholes like Pete Hegseth.

I'd argue with the cutbacks at the VA you have forgotten by a long shot.
