I was today days old when I learned Dolly Parton covered Collective Soul’s “Shine” alongside Nickel Creek and the dobro player from Alison Krauss & Union Station. She won a Grammy for it. Blew me away. youtu.be/plUD6vN80dg?...

⛴️ Three years of Hullo Ferries! More than 1 million passengers and continuing to grow. It was great to celebrate with the hardworking team making it all possible and helping put Nanaimo on the map. Congratulations on an incredible milestone! 🎉 #Nanaimo

All risk and no reward for BC. ...starting to understand why separatist movements emerge and how federal overreach leads inevitably to conflict in the federation.

As the Olympics feign concern about female athlete safety, keep reality in mind. They weren't concerned when women were impregnated & given abortions for the performance hormone boost. Weren't concerned about preventing puberty in gymnasts for the competitive advantage. No problem with sexual abuse

This is a particularly egregious example but it seems to be the case, almost all the time. Police misconduct results in zero political consequences. I've never heard a single councillor here acknowledge when police are found guilty of wrongdoing, just more budget increases

Friends: While ICE leaves cities reeling and families scarred by their violence, Republicans want to fund trump's gestapo instead of funding healthcare for millions. Let's get 1,000 quick reposts and replies with #FundHealthcareStopICE to make it trend. Please and thank you! 🙏💪

Here’s one video shared with us of the state-ordered execution. The man was beaten in the head with a gun, shot once, then shot five more times while on the ground. State-ordered executions continue.

Another jarring text from a Dane to US citizens. Sure, we're very concerned about Greenland and trump. But we don't live it. We in Europe don't have ICE agents killing women. We don't have billionaires stealing countries. Read this text by Jacob Hokland, who's on twitter, so I can't tag him.
