What are the odds? This story gave me goosebumps: "The pilot was standing around as I got out of my wheelchair to board my flight to Portland. He followed me and the flight attendant who volunteered to carry my bag. As I flung myself into my seat, he quickly asks, "were you in the military." I replied "yes." He said, "Afghanistan 2010?" Again, although surprised this time, I said slowly "yessss." He then told me that he recognized me, my injuries, and my face. He told me he never knew if I survived or not. Marc Vincequere is his name. He flys with United now. Crazy small world. …He was the pilot that flew me out of Afghanistan." Credit: Todd Love

In amazing series "When They See Us" director Ava DuVernay includes stunning clip of Trump back in 1989 suggesting white people have it worse off than a "well educated black" as he put it. Trump's racist victimhood has been building for years-This is clip plus Spike Lee reaction:

Keep your eye on the LCBO. And note how control over key assets like Ontario Place, the TTC and MetroLinx are being transferred directly to the Province, which in turn is directly controlled by the Premier’s office. Everyone needs to wake up.

This is really disturbing. Selling off public assets with no public notice, to their friends no less. Expect more of this.

“An Indigenous mother may receive $600 on welfare to feed her children. The foster care system can say that's not good enough, take the child and put it in a home, and give that home $1800 to feed those children.” teapawt.net/cbcindigenous/status/9… – at Toronto, Ontario
