Food assistance for 42M Americans costs approximately 100B a year. 10 individuals grew their personal wealth in one year by an amount that could feed the 42M people needing food assistance for 7 years! Allowing children to go hungry as a society is a choice. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This isn’t a dig at Jennifer Lawrence, but the way she’s been talking about herself on her current press tour makes me sad. She basically expresses that having a personality as a young woman in the public eye made her too much, and she doesn’t want to repeat those same mistakes. It’s a little eerie.

These videos get me every year. Covering 26.2 miles in a day, however long it takes, is an amazing accomplishment. It’s so beautiful that NYC makes sure to celebrate until the last person crosses the line so they have that moment of communal joy, too.

Go baseball! Go Yoshi!

It wasn’t the ending we hoped for but my new friend Yoshi is very happy!

Game 7. @amykmtl.bsky.social

That's the best play Bo Bichette has ever made at second base in his life. #Bluejays

Baseball reunion with one of my favorite people (and baseball writers) 💙

In 1995 my dad took me to game 1 of the 1995 World Series. 30 years later, @amykmtl.bsky.social and I get to be in the building tonight. I feel like a kid on Christmas.

Okay friends, it's time to talk about Manahel al-Otaibi - everyone gather 'round. al-Otaibi was a 29-year old feminist activist in Saudi Arabia when she was jailed for 11 years for charges related to her choice of clothing and her online posts.

Break out the Gullickson jersey, the Kaufman kids are headed to game 1 of the World Series. Have I mentioned that @amykmtl.bsky.social is the best sister?

A history of intimate partner violence against women is the primary risk factor for intimate partner homicide. In Canada, 60% of spousal homicides involve past family violence. #EndGenderBasedViolence #ViolencePrevention #SupportSurvivors #CallItFemicide

To say I miss her would be an understatement. “Her absence is like the sky, spread over everything.” C.S Lewis

Oh, and there’s a new Holly now. You’d love her. @amykmtl.bsky.social

Ten years gone. That's way too long without you, mom. We were so appreciative that she received the transplant she needed, an so heartbroken when it didn't take. Please, everyone, sign your organ donor card.

Reminder: Men are 230X more likely to be raped (by another male) than to be falsely accused of rape.

Regardless of today's decision in the Hockey Canada trial, these are agreed upon facts : - There were two beds in the room and she was the only person on the floor. - The players stopped at one point to document her saying she was okay. - Hockey Canada believed her and paid her a settlement.

My sister @amykmtl.bsky.social gave the keynote address last night at the ‘36 Years of Hope’ event for Auberge Shalom, an organization that does wonders in our city for women and children who have been affected by intimate partner violence. Please donate if you can: aubergeshalom.org

new @fangraphs.com: ugh, ugh, ugh.

So proud of my incredible sister @amykmtl.bsky.social!

I figured Bell Let's Talk would help develop that bandwidth but alas

The notion that if abusers just understood how scared their victims felt, they’d stop is one every victim hopes is true. They over-explain, beg for empathy—until they realize the truth. An abuser’s end goal is control. They’re capable of empathy—just not for you. www.thetimes.com/uk/crime/art...

I wish people hated fascism half as much as they hate feminism

53 years after his death, Jackie Robinson still matters. My latest for @theprogressivemag.bsky.social shows how you have to push back against this administration, call them out on their bs, & fight for every win. Lessons Robinson taught us through his example & words. progressive.org/latest/penta...

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Women in the U.S. who are pregnant or who have recently given birth are more likely to be murdered than to die from obstetric causes. Homicide deaths among pregnant women are more prevalent than deaths from hypertensive disorders, hemorrhage, or sepsis. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Happy birthday to @amykmtl.bsky.social, the best sister / concert buddy anyone could ask for. I love you!

My six year old borrowed my phone and made this. He might not be loving the whole big brother business.

Anyone know what’s up with the Wizard next to Johnson?

We’re surrounded by so much negative these days. One of the promises I made to myself was to write more about the positive this year. My latest for @cultmtl.bsky.social does just that. cultmtl.com/2025/01/mont...

How soon until we get the “as a father of daughters” eyewash post from Zuck on threads?

14 people wrote letters in support of my abuser. The judge‘s response: “It shows how the offender is able to construct an image of himself that is very different from reality..the statements are a perfect illustration of the insidious nature of tragedy experienced in private.”

Forever grateful to @paulanglois101.bsky.social, Gord, and the rest of @thetragicallyhip.bsky.social for giving me and @amykmtl.bsky.social this wonderful memory to fondly look back on ❤️
