“... the purpose of politics: that we can be and do better together than we might manage as individuals.”

Many Americans today have mixed opinions about Barack Obama. Some admire him, others criticize him. But for those of us who come from outside, the reality is often different.
Believe it or not, no American president has ever left such a strong impression around the world as Barack Obama. He embodied hope, respect, intelligence, and dialogue. He represented a powerful image of America: open, inspiring, and close to the people.
For many of us, Obama was not just a president; he was a symbol. A symbol that everything is possible, that social background, skin color, or personal history should never be limits.
He restored confidence to millions of young people around the world. He spoke to the world with dignity, calm, and responsibility. He knew how to unite instead of divide.
No matter the internal political debates, internationally, Barack Obama will forever remain one of the most respected, loved, and admired American presidents.
His legacy goes beyond borders. And his name will remain engraved in history.

Robin Williams warned the US about Donald Trump and his links to Miss America Pageants and underage girls in 2012.
Really should have listened.

WOW!
The Iranian AI Lego team has another video out. They are doubling down on building bridges between Americans & Iranians while depicting the US gov and "system" as the real enemy.
The music, lyrics, and imagery are all designed to appeal to disillusioned Americans.
Stranded at Calgary airport for 5+ hours. @Airbnb confirmed alternate accommodation, dropped my case at shift change, no one has followed through. 25+ calls. No shelter. This is negligence. Case A95681327. Someone needs to contact me NOW.

Hey @WestJet I lost my wallet on my flight and I can't submit a lost & found report because your UX is shit. Where am I supposed to enter a province here? Because the error keeps generating no matter what I do....

He’d lose against a turnip.
He’ll continue to implode. Lash out.
He’s a child. Surrounded by children who think they can leap their way to stealing the taxpayers bank card.
He’ll continue to kick himself in the reputation because he has no where else go other than “more extreme assholery.
Unsustainable. He’s toast.

🚨I’m at the point where I legitimately lack respect for people who Support Trump/Poilievre. It’s a statement about character at this point. Issues and policies that hurt others come from people with poisoned character. Cruelty springs from weakness. If that’s what you support, you’re not a good person and no one with the ability to think critically respects you either. It’s pretty simple.

Two ways to do the #backtoschool run.
Top: drop-off at an elementary school in South Carolina.
Bottom: an elementary school in #Holland.
The American way: stressed parents, inactive kids, more pollution.
The European way: independent, healthy kids, and cleaner air for all.

Pierre Poilievre has been campaigning with his “axe the tax” catch phrase. Apparently for common people. But what the common people haven’t done is read the Conservative Party’s declaration! If PP gets elected and IF he scraps the tax, he will also cut funding for healthcare, education and other social programs. Kiss your home goodbye…. #PierreDoesntCare #PierrePoilievre #AxeTheTax #ClimateActionNow
