Progress in this country never comes easy or quick. For every few hard-earned steps forward, we might stumble a couple steps back. But sometimes, the slow, steady effort of generations is rewarded with justice that arrives like a thunderbolt. That's exactly what happened in a remarkable sprint of history... show more

Barack Obama1 year ago

The Supreme Court upheld a critical part of the Affordable Care Act. A day later, it recognized a Constitutional right to marriage equality. And that same afternoon, a congregation in Charleston, still reeling from a horrifying act of racial violence but fortified by the extraordinary courage of ordinary friends and neighbors, led the country in a chorus of Amazing Grace.

Barack Obama1 year ago

It was a week that reasserted our freedoms. The freedom from fear that random illness or accident could cost us everything. The freedom to marry who we love. The freedom intrinsic to a people who, even when we lose our way, are never bound to the past – but rather great precisely because we can change.

Barack Obama1 year ago

Progress in this country is never guaranteed, either. But that week, it felt like the efforts of so many, across generations, was bending the arc of the moral universe a little more towards justice. I recently sat down with Garrison Hayes to talk about that day, and what it can teach all of us about how change happens.

Trump is a pretty massive stumble.

Paul A. Szypula 🇺🇸1 year ago

You were the worst president in US history after Joe Biden. He was the top worst. You started the division in America. You were a stain on this country. Thankfully, we have Trump.

The Flag Guy1 year ago

You ruined the country with your DEI, racist garbage. With your weak foreign policy decisions. Trump will undo ALL of it, don’t worry.

Do you believe Barack Obama began the downfall of America?

Mr PitBull1 year ago

George Bush stood by while Putin invaded Georgia. Barack Obama stood by while Putin annexed Crimea. Joe Biden stood by while Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Donald Trump? He didn’t let Putin lift a finger. So tell me — who’s really the Russian asset? ……

.Barack Obama reacts to Obergefell v. Hodges, 2015: Our nation was founded on a bedrock principle that we are all created equal. The project of each generation is to bridge the meaning of those founding words with the realities of changing times, a quest to ensure those words ring true for every American. Sometimes there are days like this when that effort is rewarded with justice that arrives like a thunderbolt. This morning, the Supreme Court recognized that the Constitution guarantees marriage equality. They've reaffirmed that all Americans are entitled to the equal protection of the law, that all people should be treated equally regardless of who they are or who they love.

It’s a week later but I haven’t forgotten that President Trump is trying to arrest leaders in Congress who oppose him politically. Never before in the history of the country has this happened. And we shouldn’t normalize it.

Steve Bannon: “The future of MAGA is Donald Trump. We want Trump in ‘28. That's what they can't stand. A man like Trump comes along only once or twice in the country’s history. We want Trump!” This is what fascism looks like

De’Anthony Melton says he wants to be rewarded for his hardwork this offseason: “I mean I’ve been in this league a decent amount of time now. So 8 years is a lot of time. I’ve put in a lot of time and effort and work into this, you know what I mean? So I think that should be rewarded and I think, for anybody, you put in that much time, effort, work and you know you’ve seen the results and you’ve seen how much impactful you are and what you have done, like I said, you want to be rewarded for that. So, whatever comes with it, comes with it, but end of the day you want to get rewarded for your services.” (via 95.7 The Game)

I believe we must respect Indigenous history. But we must also respect our collective history. The history of all the families who came to this province, whether 200 years ago or last year, and built the homes, communities, and way of life we enjoy today. My great-grandfathers homesteaded in Saskatchewan and built a home in Hamilton, Ontario that still stands today. Like millions of others, they were told this was a free country where they could work hard, raise a family, and create a better life. We have built something remarkable together. We are all here now, and we need to move forward together. I want to be the Premier for all British Columbians. Join me at

Moving with Purpose “What counts is not flawless steps, but the willingness to get up and dance.” As we begin a new week, may this serve as a reminder that progress is not about perfection, but about showing up with heart and purpose.

I was told on a site in Dublin a couple of years ago by an African man that they are here to take back what we stole from them. If this is the attitude these people arrive with, what are the chances of them integrating into the countries they move to? This Video is that attitude in a nutshell.

Delusional Khalistanis in Surrey, BC saying this is "our country" and "we are owners of this country." While telling white people to "go back to Europe or go back to England!" What the actual fuck happened to this country? What a disgrace....
