There must be a real reckoning. Make Nuremberg Great Again
I wrote a quick piece about what it would really mean to abolish ICE
There Must Be Retribution
Abolishing ICE isn't enough. So what is?

The Canadian nation was born in response to the violence of the first American civil war and the threat of invasion. We built a country on the principle of compromise, protection of minorities and the rejection of political violence.

after what happened with Twitter I’m deeply skeptical people will abandon a social network they’re invested in over an ownership change but if they really are immediately censoring TikTok in a notable way in the aftermath of a radicalizing event there’s a chance they actually fuck up this transition
This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.
Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.
Well, here’s a link:

Mark Carney takes the sign out of the window. A brave and powerful speech, calling for middle powers to stop appeasing and pretending this is business as usual - and start building new alliances. I think this is the speech - and the PM - that a lot of Canadians have been waiting for. #cdnpoli #Davos
