In Australia, the captain of this football team went into the stands after his team won the championship to get their waterboy, who has Down's Syndrome, so they could celebrate together.

For 18 years Jacob Wassermann wanted to be a pro hockey player. Then everything changed.

A Humboldt Broncos bus crash survivor, he’s reimagined his life and is now at the Paralympics.

Grateful for his trust. A courageous young man. His remarkable story:

I don't know how many times I watched it and cried, because she is so incredibly strong and deserved it to win. She kept going, didn't give in to the dehumanization and hatred and got the gold medal she deserved.

She is bullied and bashed by the whole cruel world just for her appearance and still stands firm but emotions are emotions. Stay strong girl #ImaneKhelif #Iman_Khalif

🇨🇦 Josh Liendo is the first Black Canadian to win an Olympic swimming medal.

He told me growing up he had nobody to really look up to — because nobody looked like him.

Game changer. History maker. Silver medal at the Olympics.

Larry Klein, Wayne Shorter, Andy Summers, and Omar

All Canadians are now oilers fans.

This is how it works.

It’s in the fine print of our constitutional jurisprudence.

[Dave Troy @davetroy]

This is well-said.

Today marks 70 years since the Supreme Court handed down its landmark decision in Brown v. Board of Education, outlawing racial segregation in America’s schools. 

Let’s honor the memory of the civil rights leaders, families, and children who took extraordinary risks in order to make our schools – and ultimately our country – more fair and more free. And at a time when our public schools are growing more segregated, let’s remember that our work isn’t done until every child can get an education worthy of their promise.

Happy Mother’s Day to @MichelleObama and all the moms out there!

Michelle, thank you for all that you do for our girls. Today and every day, we celebrate you.

And a big thank you to all the mothers and mother figures out there who provide us love, inspiration and support, often in the face of remarkable odds.

The Canadian men, after winning silver, handing over their Canadian flags to the Canadian women after their bronze medal win.

This is a very cool moment here in Nassau.

I know this is engagement bait but hey, i’ll dabble…

Absolutely loved the use of this church for coffee and lunches. Services continue as well as meditation if I remember rightly…

Putting these beautiful to use 🤝

This is the face of a man who climbed the ladder of affirmative action to his present perch of power only to help destroy the very ladder on which he ascended. This is not only the mark of deep ingratitude & disavowal of history, but a withering betrayal of justice & democracy.

Not sure I can handle Eleanor Wachtel and Shelagh Rogers retiring from CBC at the same time.

“I volunteered at a Residential School until 1983. Lots of good times!” - a lady at the show tonight. Proudly. Thinking she was bonding with me after I spoke about Red Shirt Day during my show.

“Well, I’m glad it was good for the staff.”
She was speechless in her realization.

[John Prine Quotes @PrineJohn]

In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed
In the maritime sailors' cathedral
The church bell chimed 'til it rang 29 times
For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald

This is Mariners' Church of Detroit
Tuesday, they rang the bell 29 times plus 1 more for Gordon
