Ironic that the most vicious red-baiter since the 1950s is on “liberal” MSNBC. Chris Matthews is pure venom and ignorance, a Joe McCarthy wannabe straight out of “Trumbo.” #ChrisMatthews

Dark Waters is a throwback to the powerful thrillers with a conscience of the 1970s (see The China Syndrome). Great cast, too, of actors with a conscience — Mark Ruffalo, Anne Hathaway, Tim Robbins.

Tom Sandborn reviews “Solidarity” in today’s Vancouver Sun. “His book rescues an important moment in B.C. history from mainstream amnesia and does so in stylish, effective prose. Highly recommended.” vancouversun.com/entertainment/…

“Solidarity” was recently reviewed in BC History Magazine! "Solidarity is a compelling portrayal of the landscape that roused dozens of groups -- diverse in age, culture, and beliefs -- to work together. This is an essential volume for BC bookshelves."

It's 1983. Return of the Jedi is in theatres. Michael Jackson is at the top of the charts. And BC is on the verge of a general strike. Now, a new book explores how close the province came to a revolution almost 40 years ago. #bcpoli #CityNewsBookshelf CityNews Vancouver Ronsdale Press

"When I'm Gone," a song written by my uncle #PhilOchs & performed beautifully here by Воблий Теодор Амвросійович🤠🚯 inspires me & moves me to action. Listen to this song, and check out this YouTube channel. Sonia / #DisappearFear, is among my favorite songwriters. youtube.com/watch?v=vFGWE8…

What do unions, Vancouver punk bands like D.O.A. and environmental, religious + women’s groups have in common? They took part in Operation Solidarity—a mass movement against austerity in 1983. A book by David Spaner about it is launching at Another Story Bookshop today at 7pm. #canlab
