ME too, so many of my fav shows have been HBO dramas so I’ve always assumed I’d like it but it just never felt like quite the right time. but I think it is now. I think it’s Tony Time

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

🇨🇦 CANADIANS:
Sign this House of Commons petition to withdraw bill C-2!
The bill is bad, the petition is quick and easy.

Thank you, @jennykwan.bsky.social

👉 ✒️ www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Screenshot of the linked page, text below:

Petition to the House of Commons
Whereas:
- Bill C-2, titled the “Strong Borders Act”, contains provisions that threaten fundamental rights and freedoms protected under Canadian and international law;
- The Bill would grant law enforcement and national security agencies warrantless access to Canadians’ historical associations with organizations and businesses;
- It would allow authorities to compel the disclosure of sensitive personal information, including geolocation data and contact details, based merely on suspicion of relevance to the investigation of offences under Acts of Parliament, regardless of individual involvement;
- The Bill is designed to facilitate Canada's alignment with the United States' CLOUD Act and the United Nations Cybercrime Convention, raising serious concerns about foreign access to Canadians’ private data, including by regimes with poor human rights records; and
- Bill C-2 undermines Canada’s obligations under international human rights instruments, particularly in relation to privacy rights and the fair treatment of migrants and refugees.

We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to:
1. Immediately withdraw Bill C-2 in its entirety;
2. Reaffirm Canada’s commitment to privacy, civil liberties, and international human rights standards;
3. Reject any legislative or policy initiatives that would enable foreign states, including the United States, to gain undue access to Canadians’ personal information; and
4. Ensure that national security and border-related legislation upholds the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and is subject to meaningful judicial oversight.

great news: I’ve decided I’m going to be mentally healthy this winter. the lack of sunlight simply will not cause me to spiral so close to a black hole of inescapable psychic agony that I begin to spaghettify. instead I will crochet a beautiful chicken
