How many of you knew that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have ties to Canada? 🇨🇦 🇺🇸
Harris lived in Montreal as a teenager and Walz is well known in Canada because his state borders Ontario and Manitoba. Ontario does billions in trade with the state.
A Harris/Walz win would be excellent for Canada-US relations.

Photo Journalist Pete Souza was suspended from X (#Twitter) today for posting a photograph of former President Trump that was published by the Associated Press. The photograph showed Trump's seemingly undamaged ear.
This man has twice worked in the White House as the official photographers of both Ronald Reagan and Barrack Obama. He is a respected professional photojournalist.

More members of Just Stop Oil have been sent to prison.
Firstly, this (again) seems disproportionate, but secondly, the state is starting to assemble a group of climate martyrs whose voice is likely be amplified.
As Gaie Delap says: 'They didn’t listen to the scientists, they didn’t listen to their constituents, so we had to cause disruption in order to communicate the seriousness of humanity’s predicament'!

Filter bubbles aren't it. It's our brains not being able to handle all of the world's opinions at the same time.
We then assume disagreement-as-identity, while the algorithms feed us more of that disagreement to keep us engaged.
Venezuelans are voting in the country’s toughest election in decades. The outcome will either lead to a seismic shift in politics or extend the policies that caused the world’s worst peacetime economic collapse by six more years. AP reports with live updates: https://flip.it/fe9y6v

I keep thinking about this conversation from a few years ago... #KamalaHarris #politics
I’m noticing that many of my friends in the Northeast & on the West Coast seem to be feeling very confident about a #Harris win in 2024.
Don’t be.

News orgs that agree to interviews, panels, debates, etc… with the caveat of no fact checking aren’t news orgs.
They are mouthpieces.
