As I frequently say, Berra devoted the rest of his life to civil rights, immigrants, education, and working in the community. At least once kids knocked on his door and asked him to play baseball; he did. It’s what used to be called citizenship. @yogiberramuseum.bsky.social teaches that.

He's bitter that his side lost on D-Day.

On this day in Canadian parliamentary history - June 6, 1944: After the PM announces the arrival of Canadian troops in France, MPs sing both “God Save the King” and “La Marseillaise"

“Unlike what happens to other great battles, the passing of the years and the retelling of the story have softened the horror of Omaha Beach on D Day,” the U.S. Army combat historian S. L. A. Marshall wrote in our November 1960 issue.

are you just going to do this for every generation

It’s the June MIRACLE When they tell you your book is too difficult- don’t heed them ❤️ Thank you SO very much mighty readers and booksellers who passionately support literature and art making.

That foundation was broken when Bari Weiss was hired.

The absolute bottom of the journalistic barrel is people in the media chiding Scott Pelley for having the gall to confront Bilton. If you want a job licking boots, become a bootlicker. You’re not a journalist.

Russian troops are once more bogged down in Ukraine, unable to achieve Vladimir Putin's aims. And so, once again, Putin's forces are lashing out at Ukrainian civilians. My analysis, written from Kyiv

The Ukrainian decision to double down on drone warfare, from the battlefield, to mid range and long range strike, and not to draft all of its young men to make infantry, will be seen by historians as one of the most important decisions in 19th-21st century warfare.

#OnThisDay in 1965, Vivian Malone became the first Black graduate of the University of Alabama in its 134 years of existence. Gov. George Wallace had blocked her entry two years earlier. She endured, despite curses and bomb threats. mississippitoday.org/2025/05/30/1...

VERY relatedly, The Tyee now has a bit of a reporting hole that we will need to fill. If you're a journalist who has knowledge of the BC interior and is open to do some work, please message me.

I still have room for new projects for the rest of this spring and into the summer. If you require historical research, a consultant who can tie the past to your present needs, audience-targeted writing, or an interesting presentation, I can help! Drop a private message and let's talk. #hireme

Oh my good god GUYS IT'S HERE. @thetyee.ca team has been working away on producing a pod and we're finally ready to release it into the world. From us to you! Because we love you. And also you begged The Tyee for this for years. YEARS. Please enjoy. open.spotify.com/show/033kxUJ...

As phoney as a $250 bill.

Victoria, B.C., is not Olde England. Its history is more "Deadwood" than "Downton Abbey." #yyj

This framing is criminal. Trump was held civilly liable for sexual abusing and defaming E. Jean Carroll. Yes, she is a Trump accuser — and the accusation was found to be true. The headline should read: Justice Department launches criminal investigation into writer Trump sexually abused

My head is spinning from the news that I'll spend this summer focused on a topic that's dear to my heart — the decline in community news and its effect on small towns. Gratitude to Honourable Wendy Cocchia for granting two fellowships — both examining rural issues. 1/2 ltgov.bc.ca/lieutenant-g...

Danielle Smith is angling to be Canada's Nigel Farage. I break down years of her absurd fantasies about an independent Alberta, and the role she played in whipping up separatist fever. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

May 27, 1926: A mail bomb explodes at a hotel owned by a Michigan township supervisor, killing him, his daughter and her groom-to-be. Police quickly trace the package to a reputed Ku Klux Klan leader, a bitter political rival of the slain father who had opposed him over his anti-Klan stance. 1/6

Don't waste time fighting Alberta separatists (you won't change any minds). Instead, spend your time motivating politically non-engaged federalists.

Beautiful essay on the death of her mother by @anakanaschofield.bsky.social

I have a very special essay for you all in today’s Globe and Mail about Final Journey. This was the hardest thing I ever wrote. Enormous thanks to my editor @markmedley.bsky.social for his tremendous care and patience with it. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

I wrote about how Danielle Smith took a good, hard look at the existential damage that could be done to Alberta and to Canada by a separatism campaign and she decided that one thing mattered above all: Danielle Smith. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/opi...
