I have largely left this place. You can find me in that other place where the skies are blue and the toxic madness is kept to a dull roar.

Here are links to a few of my "rant threads." These are threads I wrote at various points to get something out of my system, mostly dealing with issues around politics, communication, and democracy. Have at 'em. More added as I dig them up.

Excited that my play DAISY - a political drama about negative advertising, set during the 1964 US presidential election - is getting a production in the San Francisco area. It opens 3 days after Trump's second inauguration. I'm sure it's going to stir up audiences.

What’s a movie that’s basically a masterpiece but no one talks about? I’ll start:

A resident in my ward who is facing their own challenges with housing just wrote to convey their sympathy and support for asylum seekers looking to find a home in Ottawa. I often find that the poorest among us have the most generous souls.

🧵We are alarmed at the persistent and escalating patterns of harassment and intimidation directed towards Canadian journalists who dare to report on contentious topics in the public interest. One recent example occurred this past weekend with journalist @atRachelGilmore. (1/5)

A bunch of right wing dweebs are trying to say this conductor is “inappropriate and distracting” As a former orchestral musician, for once I actually know what I’m talking about on here so let me take this opportunity to be the insufferable expert (xpert?) in the room: 1/7

This is the disconnected, childish assessment of a deeply immature and dangerously powerful person.

There is a lot of angst and misinformation out there about using Sprung Structures to temporarily asylum seekers in Ottawa. This FAQ from Coun. Marty Carr from earlier this year does an excellent job at explaining the issue. #ottnews martycarrottawa.ca/qa-on-sprung-s…

Fantastic first panel @Carleton_U “Reimagining Political Journalism” conference. A hammer and tongs conversation from some fabulous panelists about “What is political journalism.” Pursuing some truth. Good opening to a weekend of panels.

In my ongoing effort to communicate transparently and frequently here's another brief update on the Newcomer Reception Centres coming to Ottawa, with some preliminary details about an upcoming Public Information Session. seandevine.ca/update_on_newc…

@IanStumpfSask @andrew_leach Libel is also an offence. So you might want to put up your evidence or apologize. You can’t impugn someone’s reputation publicly without evidence. That’s a quick way to get poor.

It's time to show another side of Ottawa. Along with @refugee613, Mayor @_MarkSutcliffe and several councillors, I'll be using my voice to show how Ottawa is a place that welcomes newcomers. Join me this Sunday at 3pm at Ben Franklin Place Plaza.

@MichealSuddard_ This is pure disinformation. Councillor Devine supported the Brown motion. It’s on the record. Look it up. The rally is organized by Refugee613. Look it up. And you are impersonating someone with your account, bullying them with every post and hiding behind their identity.

@DevineSean Your counter protest 7 days out. Org by @horizonottawa. Shows your insistence in your ideology. Thousands and thousands have voiced their opinion on less than 24 hrs notice. And 10k more have signed petions against it. But like your opposition to coun. Browns motion today. 1/2

In the coming days I'll speak about the 2025 City of Ottawa budget. For now, I want to keep my constituents updated on the newcomer reception centre proposed for Ward 9. This is an important and necessary initiative. seandevine.ca/update_on_newc…
