This geometric sculpture playfully evoked the human form in motion. Trump had it removed from the Kennedy Center to promote "traditional" structures. He is determined to deny and destroy so much art and beauty. 👇👇

Mark Carney: "For more than a century, this country ran residential schools. Over 150,000 First Nations, Métis, Inuit children attended them. This is not a distant chapter in Canada's past, but a truth that endures. And truth is the foundation of justice." #cdnpoli

Warren: "This has been their argument every time -- they cut taxes and say, 'Ultimately it's really going to pay off for you.' What's happened every time? The academics study it very carefully and say, 'What really happened is the richest people got richer and everybody else got left behind.'"

For my friends in the US: No matter how MAGA responds to the results of the midterms or your next general election, each vote is critical. It's critical for you in terms of doing the right thing, it's critical for everyone else doing the right thing, and it's critical for the history books. ✔️

My mom called certain people the "salt of the earth". Salt of the earth people are honest, hardworking, grounded, and humble. The people here? Less salt of the earth and more salt in the wound. The top 1% of the stratosphere. In short, Marie Antoinette on steroids.

Trump's foreign policy is not isolationist. On the contrary, his ideologues want to build an international empire run by far-right political movements who serve American crypto, mineral and tech companies, many with links to the president. Read more here: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Far-right ideologues have transformed American foreign policy into a tool of private gain and antidemocratic reaction.

Sadly, this is spot-on. I know that only about 33% voted MAGA. But another roughly 33% didn't vote at all and another roughly 33% voted Dem/Independent. The 33% who didn't vote also didn't vote against MAGA. Bottom line? This is horrific and won't be fixed for decades (at best). 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Spot-on. It would be an incredibly rare leader who would do what's truly needed to reach these critical climate goals. They fear they'd lose too much support (from energy corporations, many voters, etc). Probably convince themselves they can do more overall good by staying in office. 1/2 ...

Indeed. One of the main issues is that governments do not govern for the future. They may say they do, and even want to. But, ultimately they govern for now. Some policy is forward looking to a more or lesser extent. But policy that's good for 100 years time? Nope. 🌏 🌱 ♻️

The Olive Trees by Vincent van Gogh, 1889, MoMA-The Museum of Modern Art #ArtHistory #ModernArt #PostImpressionism
In the blazing heat of this Mediterranean afternoon, nothing rests. Against a ground scored as if by some invisible torrent, intense green olive trees twist and crimp, capped by the rolling, dwindling hillocks of the Alpilles, beneath a light-washed sky with a bundled, ectoplasmic cloud.

After van Gogh voluntarily entered the asylum at Saint-Rémy in the south of France in the spring of 1889, he wrote his brother Theo: "I did a landscape with olive trees and also a new study of a starry sky." Later, when the pictures had dried, he sent both of them to Theo in Paris, noting: "The olive trees with the white cloud and the mountains behind, as well as the rise of the moon and the night effect, are exaggerations from the point of view of the general arrangement; the outlines are accentuated as in some old woodcuts."

Van Gogh's letters make it clear that he created this particular intense vista of the southern French landscape as a daylight partner to the visionary nocturne of his more famous canvas, The Starry Night. He felt that both pictures showed, in complementary ways, the principles he shared with his fellow painter Paul Gauguin, regarding the freedom of the artist to go beyond "the photographic and silly perfection of some painters" and intensify the experience of color and linear rhythms.

The fact that many people see PM Carney as the new leader of the Free World because of his moral fortitude, & not the size of Canada's military, is a small yet massively meaningful/positive shift in societal evolution. Light getting through a crack as Cohen would say‼️

Agreed. And for me, an important point, is it he will be seen as the current leader of the Free World because of his unique approach, courage, and wisdom. Not because of the size of his military or the number of billionaires in Canada. 🇨🇦❤️
