Last week, an RCMP officer was convicted of obstruction after he told a bystander to delete video following a deadly arrest.

Do you know your rights if police tell you to stop recording, delete video or try to take your phone? I broke it down in @TheTyee.

– Ed Broadbent (1936–2024) reflects on the need for civility in the House of Commons during his farewell speech to MPs, May 5, 2005.

I said earlier that the wide availability of cheap clothing has made people lose touch with the cost of making clothes given fair wages. So let's talk about how much a button-up shirt should cost. 🧵

At 83 words, the lede in this story is either brilliant or horrible. Not sure which.
