It's a small graphic design detail, but the loitering guy on TTC signage is actually in front of the red slash, casually leaning against it, making him look *unbelievably* cool.

Now imagine what kind of chaos could ensue if that facial recognition database gets corrupted. Say, for example, a bunch of ICE agents get listed in it as foreign nationals.
A witness in our case had ICE reject all her documents after using facial rec on her.
For her, tho, it seemed like nothing could make them accept that she has a right to be here.
Either way, a gov policy of not trusting gov-issued docs is going to violate lots of people's rights.

OK folks, here's the deal. Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads and has ignored asks to stop. It's time to tell them we won't stream fascism - by cancelling our subscriptions. Here's how to get started: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

As George Carlin once said, "The planet is fine; the people are fucked!"
So many exhausting tropes from this group of guys but "Save the planet?? The planet will be fine!!!!!!" has to be among the most incredibly exasperating.

“Your king LET YOU protest” is not the message he should be sending, but don’t interrupt your enemy when they’re fucking up or whatever
Mike Johnson: "We congratulate them on an apparently violent-free speech exercise ... but if President Trump was a king, the government would be open right now ... by the way, the Mall was open because President Trump hasn't closed it."

Our democracy is so dysfunctional that Canada has established air supremacy over American skies with a budget and unarmed 1960s trainers
Canada to the rescue. Blue Angels can't perform. Thunderbirds can't perform? Why? US government shutdown has sidelined these teams. Canada's Snowbirds to the rescue. Not sure if Tr^mp has a tariff on those smoke trails!

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage
During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.
It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.
He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

One takeaway for Canadians watching what’s happening in the United States right now is that we need to put more pressure on governments / parties to strengthen democratic institutions and the fourth estate

One thing that bothers me tonight in particular is how so much of this is happening because of grand and sweeping capitulation by the media, by companies, by Congress, by people in power. Even when they don’t have to — they simply comply, acquiesce, and appease.
