Taking advice from a royal subject about No Kings is … a choice.

From what I’ve read so far, the strikes have not been effective and they’ve just been executing survivors before this, I guess this is a new plan?

I love the fight back, but I gotta say, history shows the democrats rarely undo the things the republicans put in place when they have the office. So if this is going to be their new policy, great, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

After becoming the first city in Canada to call for a full arms embargo and declare itself an apartheid-free city, Burnaby has again taken steps towards becoming the first city on their way to adopting a framework for anti-Palestinian racism. Council chambers yesterday was packed with supporters.

BURNABY BECOMES FIRST CITY ON THE WAY TO ADOPT FRAMEWORK OF ANTI-PALESTINIAN
RACISM”

Bottom right hand corner a man with a keffiyeh wrapped around his face wearing a black sweater is holding up a Palestine flag. Words read: “City of Burnaby Social Planning Committee has become the first city in colonial Canada to vote to adopt & implement the framework of Anti-Palestinian
Racism.
This follows Burnaby's historic vote to declare itself an Apartheid-Free City that breaks ties with Israeli apartheid & military occupation.”

Bottom right hand corner a man with a keffiyeh wrapped around his face wearing a black sweater is holding up a Palestine flag. Words read “Today's victory is a direct result of the organizing of Burnaby residents and the movement for Palestinian liberation.
Residents emphasized solidarity against colonialism on these lands & all racism, including anti-Indigenous racism, anti-Black racism, and anti-Asian racism.”

Bottom right hand corner a man with a keffiyeh wrapped around his face wearing a black sweater is holding up a Palestine flag. Words read: “Anti-Palestinian Racism is a distinct form of racism that "silences, excludes, erases, stereotypes, defames or dehumanizes Palestinians or their narratives," such as
denying the Nakba and justifying violence against Palestinians;
failing to acknowledge Palestinians as an Indigenous people with a collective identity, belonging and rights in Palestine;
excluding or pressuring others to exclude Palestinian perspectives and defaming Palestinians and their allies.”

There were 47 members in the compassion club, and zero deaths occurred among members during the year that the site operated.

Since the site was raided and shut down by Vancouver police, at least two members have reportedly died.

This isn't new (as in, there have been a few stories in recent years). I've been meaning to make a database of what is publicly known about the US Dept of Defense buying up Canadian critical minerals. I recall stories from Quebec and NWT as well ...

The Trump administration recently bought stakes in two Vancouver mining companies and has shown interest in a project north of Prince George.

How the materials would be used is unclear — but it’s unlikely to be green energy.

Global instability is creating a rush for critical minerals, which are useful for green energy. And the military.
