Replying to @MargaretAtwood
From the "it could always be worse" department… At least education bureaucracy isn't growing 20% per year like in some sectors. BC's health authority spending for "head office" (non-program admin) up > $600m in one year, while front-lines are decimated. Race to the bottom?

Our learnedexperience should teach us two things: political violence is contagious unless stopped in its tracks with both denunciation and enforcement, and it is wrong to think “this isn’t Canada”. Unfortunately it is and it will have terrible consequences unless we face up to it

Minister Lecce dodges my question as to why reporters are not allowed in today’s news conference held in a classroom yet 35 students will be allowed to spend six hours a day in that very classroom come September.

Have to ask why @fordnation and @Sflecce have not made it their #1 priority to protect kids and their families? Do they really not understand that strong publicly funded education IS our economic advantage now more than ever??? #onted

Iowans, for personal reasons I hope you’ll vote Steve King out. I’m tired of being confused with this racist dumbbell.

My fellow scientists: Let’s stop saying “negatively impact“. Let’s name and specify the impact. Formula: clear verb + noun we care about. Kills bees. Increases deforestation. Worsens inequality. Increase asthma for kids. #scicomm Inspired by @ourwarmregards 👏🏾

"I have a family photo of me when I was one or two years old. I was holding a ball and looked like the proverbial cute little boy, except for one thing: my face. It was saying, ‘Damn, here I am again, having to go through this life once again.’” –S.R.

The difference is this: in 1942 when they came my family to march us out of our home at gunpoint, almost no one stood up for us. Today, when something happens to any of us—Jew, trans, Muslim, migrant—many, many rise up. We can learn. We have learned. We must keep learning.
