🚨 WOW 🚨 Canada's foreign affairs committee has voted to recognize Palestinian statehood, separately from its support for a two-state solution. The resolution was supported by the NDP, Liberals, & Bloc. This is good news and the right thing to do. Now the government must act.

TLDR: Migrants don't want to live in counties where they regularly face racist and xenophobic attacks in every aspect of their lives.

This is SO important. We need the people whose decisions impact our lives to understand the realities faced on the ground, in communities and neighborhoods of all races and income levels. x.com/BostonFed/stat…

More of this, too, please. Hey #BIGOIL, STFU!

I learn a lot listening to Strong Towns' podcasts. I particularly enjoyed Charles Marohn's recent conversation with Michel Durand-Wood, from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Podcasts (strongtowns.org).

This vote breakdown tells you all you need to know about which parties care whether the basic needs of their constituents are met.

I’ve hesitated to say this at the risk of sounding hyperbolic, but with last week’s big GDP revisions, there is no denying it: This is among the best performing economies in my 35+ years as an economist. Economic growth is rip-roaring, with real GDP up 3% over the past year.

Also true for 🇺🇸, and certainly true here in #WesternMassachusetts

Cara, I just learned of your podcast this morning, via an episode of The Urbanist Agenda (looking at you, JUST CARS 🛻🚗🚙🚳!) Super happy to add this to my podcast listening. We have so much to learn from each other's best practices AND cautionary tales! [see MAGA/Pierre Poilievre]

We need to be having SERIOUS conversations about how BEST to make use of our underutilized office infrastructure/Commercial Real Estate (CRE).

In 1977 President Carter signed into law the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). It puts billions into underserved communities every year! We can't let lobbyists for #BIGBANKS take away this critical set of tools for #sharedprosperity ncrc.org/cra #ProtectCRA #WontGoBack

For our kids to learn at their full potential, they need to feel SAFE in schools. There's NO place for racism/sexism/misogyny/transphobia/homophobia/ in our educational institutions.

Occasionally, even Postmedia does a story that you can feel good about.

So thankful for the leadership of Randi Weingarten 🇺🇸❌👑💪🏿👩‍🎓🟣🇺🇦!

And this, class, is why commas matter.

Here is perhaps the most important thing I'll saying this evening (full of emotions all around). Regardless of who wins, we remain an extremely divided nation. But it doesn't have to be this way. We can find common ground to help America move forward, even when we disagree.
