Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Vital reporting from @ellenbarry.bsky.social and Jason DeParle:
In Utah, Trump’s Vision for Homelessness Begins to Take Shape

A lot of them being the ones they want to annex / invade, coincidentally, of course.

I regret to inform everyone that my pedantic brain couldn’t let me live until I knew whether or not dodger blue and blue jays blue are the same blue. They are ONE PANTONE NUMBER APART.

Breaking on MSNBC:

Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after filing a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to President Obama's house in 2023.

“Canada Doesn’t Owe the U.S. a Deal”

It’s unbelievable watching Canadian media twist themselves into knots asking when we’ll sign a deal with Washington — instead of asking why we’d even want to.

Jamaica, just tough to watch, in the immediate aftermath wake of H. Melissa. The hallmark of these newest deadly storms is the unbelievable amount of water that can be dumped out of the sky in the blink of an eye, causing these massive flash floods especially deadly in hill/gully areas.
Widespread flooding across Jamaica following Hurricane Melissa's landfall today.

They've got a long road ahead for recovery after an impact like that....

Maybe the Fossil fuel industry should pay 🤔 🤷

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto

She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card

Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her.

She spoke out and was kicked out of the country.

It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

I have for years been concerned about Doug Ford's desire to limit and deke around the democratic protections in Ontario. Here he is again chipping away at our foundation, in a way that looks a lot like the Trumpian/MAGA efforts to tilt elections and stay in power. #ontario #onpoli

Yet again i want to remind everyone that Bill Gates and several other billionaires have invested in mining projects in Greenland that are only accessible because of melted land and sea ice, he and other billionaires are essentially shorting the planet

We live in a country where the media is focused more on who a Democratic mayoral candidate defines as his ‘aunt’ than on the DHS Twitter account putting out white nationalist propaganda and replying to Nazis online.

Your ability to eat should not depend on your productivity

Your ability to get healthcare should not depend on your productivity

Your ability to get housing should not depend on your productivity

Saying “be more productive!” To those who are struggling devalues human life.

It aids fascism.
That number is a lot higher.

Quite a world when a federal judge has to call in a federal official to specifically tell him he can't use tear gas on children in Halloween costumes

This is a real thing that a judge had to say to the Chief of US Customs and Border Protection.
"Kids dressed in halloween costumes walking to a parade" do not present an immediate threat to law enforcement officer and riot control measures may not be used, Ellis says.
And this is why we need to fight to keep and improve universal, PUBLIC healthcare in Ontario & across Canada.

That's way more than my rent, and rent is already CRAZY.
Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️

Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you.

Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No.

Nothing like moving a picture over by a tenth of a millimetre, and your entire page randomly explodes itself over three different pages. Again.

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.

Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.

If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.
Please read our statement, share it with your networks, and support us if you can. www.python.org/sponsors/app... psfmember.org/civicrm/cont...
I don't know even blue states each had like 40% of the votes voting for this mess.

Allies after secession though sure.
And 1930s. Especially Germany.
They've already said:
Disabled
Neurodivergent
Outspoken Dem leadership
Homeless
Everyone who speaks out or resists
None of the various conservative parties in the US, Canada, England, etc. are anywhere NEAR fiscally conservative either.

Up here our premier is throwing millions at friends who bribed him for things no one even wants.

Yet somehow the myth that social cons are somehow also fiscal cons persists...

For the first time, we have a SCOTUS that is stripping people of rights enshrined in the Constitution and previously upheld by SCOTUS. If they can deny women bodily autonomy, disenfranchise voters, set aside due process, and delegitimize marriages, what’s next?
