This was the turning point of the gold medal game. Brutal penalty call with 5 minutes left in the 3rd period and the game tied. Jenner doesn’t touch her.

🧵I spoke with a colleague in Ottawa recently and she was shocked Toronto didn’t have convoy camps. I wish I could show her this time-stamped case study to illustrate how and why we’ve been spared so far: /1

It struck me, literally just today, that what has been painfully scarce, through the darkness, is the truth-telling, spirit-supporting force of laughter.

No group of protesters have been given so much "freedom." Freedom from consequences. Freedom to harass others. Freedom to make racial slurs. Freedom to block emergency vehicles. Freedom to intimidate. Freedom to fly flags of hate. Freedom to do whatever they want. /8
