Canada mobilizes a citizen army to defend democracy, Bondi Beach faces terror with courage, and the U.S. responds to rising violence by attacking the Affordable Care Act.
No one encapsulates the brutal horrors of the growing fascism of our day as well as you, Mary. Thanks. I dream of a day in which you have nothing to write about.
How is it that we humans repeatedly allow the worst among us to accrue outsized power and wealth, leaving heroism and care for human dignity to ordinary people with little power but their choices?
Feeling sad and also outraged as the usual global villains use the deaths and suffering of others to advance their own agendas.
Thank you, Mary. You're a source of news I can digest. Was busy yesterday and when I did read news dead people at Brown and in Australia were in my feed. The video of the wonderful man taking gun from killer, and getting shot twice I watched. Hadn't heard about the Canadian flag. Thank you for that.
If truth would be the answer. This rendition Mary is succinct. What stands out is an administration staying focused on the tactic of saturation, and the turning point of red to blue happening all.over.the.country.
Never admit you’re wrong/double downers = GOP “trust us”
Rise Up/Stand Your Ground= We.The.People. ‘often late to the party’
The Dems soft talk truth, admit mistakes, clean up the mess every time.
We can do better than this. I’m tired of hearing -after the fact- there were a lot of clues/chatter( it’s called)/you were warned.
We got the richest country with the highest statics in the worst areas..so obviously tax breaks were the answer , lies are preferred, reality is ignored, history repeats the scenarios of World War causes ..silver tongued people con the majority, buy the press, and sanction murder.
Mary paints the picture with a flair for the bold -reality .( TY- SHARE!)
We. The. People. will win. but it will likely take 12 years to restore sanity, get our place back as leaders in a complex world …but not by racists, billionaires hoarding their stash, with a sick population, or by killing . It’s done by raising all the boats ,educating people who ‘all’ means, reset priorities, and recognizing lies.
I fear the U.S.A will never be the leader of the Free World again. This time most of the world are watching and saying Never Again. The list of crimes is too long for a pardon.
We don’t have to be the Leader -just part of a great team, just do good. It will. You are so correct Thanks, Di….pointing this fact out! …will take time , prove we are worthy. I won’t take any guilt but I’ll be part of working to gain back the respect.Vote . Pay fair taxes. Help my neighbor. Support my community. Be involved.
I don’t mind helping pay the price of this mistake..I’m glad to be a part of the great team…
On a day when the world is grotesquely beyond recognition and its leaders worthless and self serving, a human being plunges from out of nowhere putting themself at grave risk to save others from horror. On this day, Ahmed, a brave selfless soul, showed the world what we need to be yet seldomly are.
Thank you for diligence and hard work. Friends in Canada will not be traveling to US this holiday to visit family and friends. Zoom will be the choice versus in person. Have stopped traveling even for work back in May. So many up north are concerned for friends and family and the consensus is who knew a few batshit crazies could vote for one batshit crazier. They are seeing more of the people standing up to ICE in Chicago that’s being aired on BBC Canada.
So much to digest here and never was it so clearly outlined to my humble brain than when I watched snippets of Sunday Morning News (?) shows today. It's comprised of a narrator , supposedly unbiased, and one contributor from each political party speaking on one topic while totally decimating the other party with their argument . We're in a high school debate contest with each side trying to win our votes with arguments that will go nowhere after the election. It's a sad, sad state ! Thanks , Mary, for your clarity on the atrocities that occurred both at Brown and Bondi Beach. Looking back, one would think the murders of 20 children sitting in their elementary classroom thirteen years ago in Connecticut would have been enough to change our laws, but we argue on and on and on.

This post gave me goosebumps! We’re headed in the wrong direction.
We're smack dab in the middle of the place where wrong direction takes you.
This one brought tears to my eyes.

This was beautiful, and a story we all need to hear. Thank You!

"BBC Canada" = CBC? (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the Canadian public broadcasting system - English side.)
Thank you got it - CBC
