David Glosser, Stephen Miller's uncle, told CNN his nephew is an "immigration hypocrite": Our family history is entirely dependent on our ability to escape a terrible situation in Belarus. Had we not been able to enter America when we did, Stephen Miller would not exist. Everybody else who didn't make it to America ended up dying in the Holocaust.

Don't vote the way the wealthy want you to vote in Toronto. Vote for a city that builds housing (unlike Ford) supports healthcare and education (unlike Ford) Brad Bradford = Ford Olivia Chow = Progress

Dear Torontonians, Have we not learned from having Doug Ford as our Premier? We cannot let Brad Bradford win this mayoral election. Please vote accordingly. Sincerely, A concerned Torontonian ❤️

What bothers you about Toronto: ER waits, homelessness, crowded classrooms, empty storefronts, is because of Doug Ford not Olivia Chow

As an ER doctor I can't stress enough how effective Mayor Chow has been to eliminate delays reaching 911. When she came to office it was up to 26 minutes. It's now down to 3 seconds. 3 seconds. That's effective leadership.
My plan for Keeping Neighbourhoods Safe. There’s more to do, and I’m just getting started. Vote Olivia Chow, number 9 on the ballot. 9️⃣

As someone whose job it is to care for people having a difficult time, I believe Mayor Chow is the best choice to have a caring Toronto.
My vision for the city is one that is a more caring, more affordable and safer city. One that builds on the progress we’ve made over the past three years.   But there's more to do. We need to keep going. If re-elected, I’ll freeze TTC fares for a fourth year and introduce a 10-week fare cap for riders. I already made the school morning meal program universal. Next, I’ll do the same for school lunches. I’ll crack down on more bad landlords. I’ve delivered, and we need to go further.

If you belong to 1/2 of Toronto that pays rent, you'll want to vote for Mayor Chow. thestar.com/opinion/contribu…

Congratulations to Toronto’s SickKids Hospital: the world’s best children’s hospital for the second year in a row. Canada’s health care system is one of our greatest strengths. It’s a reflection of our values — powered by the incredible nurses, doctors, researchers, and staff who deliver world-class, life-saving care every day.

Canada just did the most sensible thing any American ally has done this decade. It looked at the man Americans put on the ballot three times, worked out that he is not a phase but the country, and started swimming. On Wednesday it reached the far shore of the Atlantic and found Ursula von der Leyen waiting with a towel and an offer no country outside Europe has ever been made. Trump called it a hostile act, which is what people say when the lifeboat leaves without them. New piece on what Canada actually gets, and why it is worth a great deal more than the headline.

.@realmikefox is one of the best people I know. He has always been this way, since the day I met him. Clever, funny, sarcastic, loyal, wicked smart, tireless, and fun. He doesn’t want pity. If you take anything from seeing him inside this body-that-has-other-ideas, remember what he once told me. “I got dealt a pretty good card hand. This was just in there.” He’s the same guy he ever was. Love you forever, my brother Mike.

Neurophysiologist Louisa Nicola trains NBA players' brains and studies Alzheimer's for a living, and she says this 5-minute drill can sharpen your brain: "Using just a tennis ball and an eye patch, you can train your cognitive reserve, your processing speed, and your reaction time." "Start by throwing the ball against the wall, right arm to right arm, then alternate hands. That alone engages almost all of your executive functions." "Then put on an eye patch to block out 50% of your vision, so your visual system has to work under load and stress. To make it harder, stand on one leg and bring your cerebellum and balance into it." "This is the same drill I used with NBA players to sharpen their reaction time." PS. We post daily breakdowns on brain health and longevity, so if that's you, follow us @LxngevityLab for more.

Every year on or right before 9/11, we show this video to our students. It’s not only powerful story-telling, it’s a reminder to a younger generation about how life altering 9/11 was for those of us who lived it. It’s only 10 min #themanintheredbandana
