"The line of women—the Gursiennes, people called them, as if their ancestral homeland were an internment camp—was like a disjointed thought, stretching along the road, picked up and carried a small distance in farmer's carts, re-converging further along." —THE BOOK OF RECORDS by Madeleine Thien 1/2

Do I want to know what a Disney adult is?

His story and every child's story deserve to be heard. This was not just a mistake in our distant history. The last residential school in Canada closed in 1996. Reconciliation must be our priority. Please remember #ChanieWenjack today and all the children who never made it home.🪶😡💔🧡

This is worth sharing far and wide. Federal Employees and contractors oral history project. Im not involved in this. Just got the link, idea seems to be to create a record of the assault on the American Repuvlic after Jan 2025. www.fecohp.org

Children out on planes in the middle of the night, totally normal JFC

An important thread. Trump tried to illegally deport dozens of children by loading them onto airplanes bound for Guatemala at 2 am on Sunday of Labor Day weekend.

BOOM. The federal appeals court rules Trump's tariffs illegal, because they are. There's no national emergency, and so the power to tariff a country rests with Congress. Trump admin has lost at every stage of the process, but stay tuned for the Supremes to chime in.
