I knew this was likely considering PM Carney met with battery and industry leaders and he brought Minister Joly to China.
When she goes that means they are looking for manufacturing in Canada.

Global health threats are inextricably linked to geopolitics. The direction the world is taking is now highly unpredictable, but one thing is absolutely certain to me: the only real winners will be pathogens. The US administration is now a force multiplier for infectious disease.

Getty photographer was tackled by about 50 agents while covering Whipple.

He threw his camera at another photographer to prevent it from being confiscated.

"Vast majority of men are only willing to engage in public violence if they feel like the people around them will approve of — and reward them for — that violence. ICE Watch works because it surrounds men seeking approval with people loudly expressing their disapproval."

"People are lonely"
Okay, how are we subsidizing them building relationships?

"Nobody knows their neighbors"
How have we decommercialized third places?

"The Internet is misleading people"
How have we invested in better informational safeguards and infrastructure?

Oh, we haven't? Alright then.

A good analysis: Quebec buys half the country’s EVs, and they already have the infrastructure in place to manufacture there.

It's just the beginning. Countries paddling away from the US because it can't be trusted. It's a "rug pull" US presidency.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.

ICE is NOT a "Training" problem.

It's the fact that the far too many felons, gang members and other socially maladapted people have been employed by ICE...and then defended by the WH each time they commit a crime.

Don't fall for that "training" BS. You don't "train" a rattlesnake...you get bitten.

You have to block them immediately. The full nuclear. They are only here to make folks angry, and that can’t happen if we lock them out.

This is a transparent attempt to create a pretext for invoking the Insurrection Act.

Important work here from the NYT. Ross wasn’t run over. He dropped his cell phone, which he had shifted to his left hand to draw his weapon. And then he shot and killed a person with the gun in his right hand.
