Appears a hacking epidemic is happening over in the Birdcage. A number of mid range accounts - including Frank Graves of EKOS - have been hacked, & the hackers have, at least in some cases, attempted extortion against the OG account holder.

X seems to have declined to help. Bizarre.

From Good Neighbour: #yyc #yyccc
Screenshot of Instagram post displaying: Good Neighbour Daily Stats 200+ clients 250+ meals served 1500+ clothing items distributed 1000+ hygiene items distributed 0.05% of CPS budget goodneighbouryyc In response to the recent police sweeps, we saw their stats and wanted to counter it with our own. Crime has been declining in the West since at least the '90s. Instead, we've seen an increase in social disorder as residents are squeezed for every dollar and community hubs are displaced from neighbourhoods. Sweeping the streets with teams of officers costs Calgarians about $1000/team/day in salary alone while doing little to address the root causes of these issues. Close to 15 cents of every municipal tax dollar goes to law enforcement despite "no consistent association to crime rates" (1). This mismatch between law enforcement being used to crack down on social disorder is reflected in only 30% of officers surveyed in previous Safer Calgary Operations finding personal or professional benefit from the sweeps (2). Calgary needs to find alternative measures to address these issues. Research has found that community-focused nonprofits like Good Neighbour have an outsized impact in reducing crime rates by addressing the root causes through the provision of social services, building solidarity and social cohesion (3). Public safety happens when adequate housing, community support, and food is provided for all. Ticketing people without service provision results in a null effect on safety. 1. Seabrook, M. S.

EXCLUSIVE Immigration Agreements that allow local police to work with ICE skyrocket There were 1,168 agencies with officers signed up to help ICE, up from 135 during the Biden administration and 150 at the end of Trump’s first term, according to an analysis of ICE data. Agreements between Immigration and Customs Enforcement and local law enforcement that allow officers to make federal immigration arrests have increased 950% in the first year of President Donald Trump's second term, according to a new analysis of ICE data. As of Jan. 26, there were 1,168 agencies with officers trained to help ICE, up from 135 during the Biden administration and 150 at the end of Trump's first term, according to the analysis by FWD.US, a nonpartisan policy organization. ICE's advertising for the program promised to give law enforcement agencies $7,500 for equipment per trained officer; $100,000 for new vehicles and overtime pay of up to 25% of an officer's salary. The analysis shows 39 states have policing agencies now participating, but didn't give the total number of officers now working with ICE. State and local police agencies and sheriffs departments potentially stand to gain between $1.4 billion and $2 billion this year if they agree to participate because of the large infusion of cash from Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill, the organization predicted. "This amount would dwarf all other federal funding for local law enforcement," the FWD.US report found.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Reports published today indicate that Russell Vought, who played a central and direct role in the dismantling and defunding of USAID is using $15 million of those same funds to pay for his personal security detail.

This is the most corrupt administration in U.S. history, hands down.

A very well placed source is telling us that at least one policing agency in Alberta is compiling wishlists of individuals they immediately want to detain for forced treatment as soon as the facility is built.
