#ICYMI. Gift article, this is a really good read. "Mind your own business, Ashley."
Policy alone won’t fix Canada’s fertility crisis.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Photos of Alex Pretti with Sara’s caption: On August 16th at approximately 10:00 pm I received a call from the ICU at the VA saying my Dad had sepsis and needed to be intubated to stay alive so Josh and I headed in. We were greeted by the kindest, most calming and warm soul who helped us understand what was happening and showed deep care for us and my Dad. He continued to show utmost patience and kindness over the next few days as my Dad remained in the ICU and we were there continually. It was Alex Pretti, the man shot today by ICE. If you see this video and don't think it's murder, I don't understand your thinking and ask you to question your heart. He was out there trying to help and protect and from the little we knew of him, it doesn't surprise me he was not afraid to be on the front lines of this horrible scene in our Minneapolis. Weeping for his family and all those at the VA who no longer get to work with him or receive his care.
My friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti
Absolutely heartbreaking

Terribly uncanny how relevant this is to today.
“Everyone should be concerned that we were profiled and asked to leave for no reason.”
Three Cowichan Valley residents say they were threatened with arrest at a public town hall featuring Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and local MP Jeff Kibble — because of the messages on their T-shirts.

On the left: a photo of the NDP leadership debate stage. An orange banner reads NDP 2026 leadership. On the right: text that reads “The NDP can’t call itself a national party if its leaders can’t speak French. A botched French-language debate in Montreal exposed a shocking indifference to a core part of Canada.”
Electorally, the NDP itself needs to recover. But beyond this, it needs to debate and reckon with more existential questions of policy and purpose. “That calls for a genuine process of renewal, not simply a rebrand,” writes Luke Savage. thewalrus.ca/the-ndp-cant-cal...
This happens with such regularity. Awful.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=AijC... This is absolutely phenomenal! I watched her very adapted version of her song 'Land' - from 45 min to 105 min. I imagine Patti saying "It's my song and I can do whatever the fuck I want with it." And then laughing. Best 20 minutes I've spent in awhile.
Possibly the first protest of its kind at City Hall this morning. A diaper change-in protesting budget cuts and fee increases to amenities for new parents, and many others. @womentcities.bsky.social
