A one-day slowdown is irritating. A one-month slump is terrifying. With support for abolishing ICE growing and a bipartisan backlash prompting Trump to at least feign a more conciliatory approach in Minnesota, this is the moment to exert pressure. bit.ly/4aoo0an

“By reading this plaque, you have made a valuable addition to the number of people who have read this plaque” … an important heritage moment on the streets of Toronto (by artist Sarah Lazarovic).

A commemorative plaque titled "The Toronto Recursive History Project of Toronto's Recursive History," situated in a garden area. The plaque has text explaining its significance, stating it was commemorated on October 10, 2018, and states that by reading this plaque, you have made a valuable addition to the number of people who have read this plaque. To this day and up to the end of this sentence, this plaque continues to be read by people like yourself.
