Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

I was hoping to live my whole life in a golden age with no war fought on Canadian soil. It is looking more and more like Russia and USA are salivating over our resources and land.

Important case:SCC will weigh in on whether governments can escape equality rights obligations through the notwithstanding clause wormhole. Nothing less than all of our equality rights turns on this case.

Toronto folks! A scary number of young Black teenage boys have gone missing in the GTA in the last 2-3 months, and the major news sources don't seem to be picking up the story. Read and share, please. This is giving me super bad "I see a pattern here" vibes. nowtoronto.com/news/missing...

Flashback to 2020: CA official: "If we ignore the science and put our head in the sand... we're not going to succeed together protecting Californians." Trump: "It'll start getting cooler. You just watch." "I wish science agreed with you." Trump: "I don’t think science knows, actually."

Kat Tenbarge interviewed me about the migration to Bluesky among journalists. It's easy to see why it's happening. It's easier to find news, harder to spread disinfo, trolls don't drown out the good content, and links are not deprioritized. It's a breath of fresh air for journalism to thrive in.

Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic'

Journalists are finding more readers and less hate on Bluesky than on the platform they used to know as Twitter.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing. They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays. The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k. www.businessinsider.com/denver-basic...

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.

Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

Starting a phony transgender bathroom debate and hiding behind the guise of “protecting women” to distract from your attempts to push through the confirmations of alleged rapists, sex traffickers, and fraudsters at the highest levels of government is peak Republican Party.
