To my fellow Canadians, now is the time for a reminder that we need to stick together and boycott ALL USA products.

Shop at your local retailer. We are under financial attack from a president who wants us to collapse.

To the ppl of USA - so sorry but we need to protect ourselves.

Crisp mornings have arrived. My 7:30am walk at the dog park was invigorating, despite the 4c chill. Bailey didn't mind, and the early light on the vibrant Fall leaves was perfect. A reminder to get outside and soak up nature's beauty – it's a great way to recharge. (iPhone photo)

Ego. Greed. Power. Denial.

4 words I would use to describe what has happened. Kind of like part of the 7 deadly sins. Pride, Greed, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath, and Sloth.

I would also add that RBG did not step down during Obama's term when he could have named another democratic leaning SC judge. That was a HUGE game changer.

Court cases against individual officers will only have a chance of working if they can be identified. That's not happening - we can't see their faces and they refuse to identify themselves.

The continuation of this video shows the ICE agents driving off, hitting an SUV, and tearing off their rear bumper - never stopping.

Another charge for them - Hit and Run; or is that also forgiven in Trump's world??????

Out of curiosity, have you ever felt like saying that was too much and calling it quits?

I remember when it hit Mexico Beach - there wasn't much left of the area afterwards.

Kitty Murphy @kittymurphymtl.bsky.social · 23h

There is another video showing her being put into the truck. When they sped away, they hit an SUV and tore off the rear bumper - never stopped. These are criminal THUGS.

One thing is certain: these ICE agents are not the run-of-the-mill law enforcement group. The brutality is off the scale 🤬

It is just 1 more week until the big "No Kings" peaceful protest. One might think this is the event that Trump will use to declare martial law. Then, there is no need to go and vote.

Thank you for posting this today. The truth about Trump and his fascist administration. Not the smoke and mirrors they are trying to portray to the rest of the world that Trump is a President of peace.
