@Jorsh Believe me, I am just as horrified by the leadership of my country as you are. Just as upset and aware of how incredibly outrageous it is for Donald Trump to be threatening the sovereignty of our neighbors and, up until his actions, our friends. I am taking every action in my power to protest, including calling my representatives but also being very active in local resistance. I live in Rochester, NY and cross the border frequently to see shows at the Shaw Festival, shop in the Niagara region and Toronto is the big city I go to when I need a big city experience. I am devastated by the horror show I see in my country. I did not vote for him and do not support ANYTHING he has done or said since taking office. #sorry #sorryandbusyprotesting #resist

You know... sometimes you forget that there are real people with sensitivities of their own at the other end of this post.

I will be more careful about what I boost and think more about the impact it might have on others before I do. Empathy isn’t a human weakness. It's one of our strengths.

There's so much craziness going on and people suffering all around the world with so few people pulling the strings. It is they who need a little empathy, too. It's not a dirty word.

It is a good time to reroute your international vacation & have your international student kiddo study somewhere besides the USA. #seriously

It is very unhealthy here in the US in every possible way, on top of which ordinary ppl are carelessly armed, & the federal, state, & local authorities have license to detain, kill, & generally run amok. Not saying they all do but they have license.

It is time to spend time & €£¥$ elsewhere & let USAers reliant on #tourism realize our disgrace. #Sorry

“Series” is a 'zero plural’, but isn’t a 'noncount noun’, or ‘mass noun’. Wait.

"English grammar is not determined by logic”, truer words…

1. Series: a group of books
2. Series: several groups of books
