John Lennon: “Working class people around the world have no innate desire to go to war with each other. They have to be conned into it by the sociopaths who will profit from it.” #JohnLennon #War #Peace

Today, NDP delegates voted overwhelmingly in favour of a resolution calling on the federal government to close the loophole that has allowed Canadian-made weapons to be used in war crimes and human rights abuses abroad — as @JennyKwanBC’s Bill C-233 called for. I was proud to speak in favour of the resolution.

Oh Boy: Sam Darnold is under heavy criticism from NFL fans for not shaking hands with Drake Maye on the field after the Super Bowl. Maye waited patiently and even walked around the field looking for Darnold but he was nowhere to be found. Just awful 💔

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Minnesotans, we’ve been through a lot. And I believe this moment calls for grit, resilience, and faith in each other. I believe we must stand up for what’s right. And fix what’s wrong. Today, I’m announcing my candidacy for Governor.

"Conservatives will fast-track the Liberal bail-reform Bill C-14": Cooperation to push through a Bill backed by no evidence that will worsen a broken bail system, hurt innocent people, and fail to promote public safety?? cbc.ca/news/politics/…

Forced sterilization is a violation of human rights. I was honoured to join a webinar hosted by the Survivors Circle for Reproductive Justice to speak about Bill S-228 ahead of the National Day of Action on Feb. 24, when the bill reaches second reading in the House of Commons.

RETWEET to wish @PeteButtigieg a happy birthday!

My Republican colleagues must take notice: The U.S. cannot base foreign policy on whether or not a president gets a prize. This is pathetic. It is petty and dangerous narcissism — behavior we might expect from a spoiled child, not the leader of a democratic nation.

Big Mama Thornton performing "Hound Dog". She released the song first in 1953 before Elvis Presley (1956), his biggest worldwide rock and roll hit record. Thornton was a blues singer who helped shape the sound of Rock&Roll. She released the song “Hound Dog” in 1953 and it sold two million records and went #1 on the R&B charts. Unfortunately Thornton only received about $500 from those profits.

Trump campaigned on an “America First” platform. Now he wants to "run" Venezuela? 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Health care is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable. Trump should address these major crises at home and end his illegal military adventurism abroad.
