this, along with eating at a restaurant and then kidnapping the staff, or laying out a thanksgiving dinner to taunt hungry imprisoned children before keeping it for themselves, are the kind of violations against fundamental principles of dignity that provoke the gods to bestow generational curses.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

not to lib out, but it's so refreshing living in canada and seeing the entire political spectrum mourn this shooting together. america is simply too fractured to mourn in a unified, nonpolitical way like this for any length of time, and you don't realize how valuable it is until you see it in action

Begun, the Drone Wars have.
I wrote about MAGA’s war against normal American drone users - and how they’re trying to take control of the skies for themselves.

Ontario Liberals outpolling the Ontario NDP 2:1 even though they haven't picked a new leader yet should tell you everything you need to know about the current state of the Ontario NDP, without even getting into how their deputy leader recently switched to the Federal Liberals.

It's uhh....not good!

this is why its super important for democratic politicians and liberals to *make noise* about things. most people do not follow politics, certainly not like we junkies do. when you make a ton of noise about stuff it bleeds over into normie world and shapes opinions.
New poll: In 2024, low-engagement voters went for Trump over Harris by 11 percentage points. But now they disapprove of the way he's handling the presidency by 13. They have moved 25 points against Trump — 2x as large as the shift for high-knowledge voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-lost...
Trump has lost the voters who weren’t paying attention in 2024
The least-engaged Americans have swung 25 points against him since 2024 — about twice the shift among everyone else. Trump has flattened the engagement gap.

Ending this operation is not enough.

We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

"Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” she continued. “You know my wife’s name, and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

This is an incredible photo.
Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

This thread is really important to read in full, and articulates why fighting unjust detention by ICE is so difficult. It also confirms why I decided not to look for a new job in the US after my layoff and move back to Canada.
I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

There is literally no better example of textbook fascistic thinking than "Who cares about human rights when the rich are doing so very well"
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

The year is 2045. Nurse is the only job left. It has been hastily retconned to a male coded job and every nurse now wears tactical combat gear and has a gun.
Yikes here are the numbers for the past 12 months. Everything is pretty much dead except healthcare/social assistance. Note that healthcare growth is largely not about the business cycle -- it's about the aging of the population and more elderly people needing care.

One of the main jobs of a national leader is to be a comforting and unifying voice in times of tragedy. The bar has been so radically lowered by Trump, it's almost shocking to see someone capable of a genuine, human reaction, with emotion and solidarity instead of immediate crass politicization.

Yes, federal conservatives. Do this. Absolutely please go to war with the most popular conservative premier in Canada, who governs the most heavily populated province in the country.

Please do that.

It is beyond fucked up that people trying to escape the fascist hellhole that is the former USA and find safety in Canada need to not only sneak across the border, but stay in hiding for *two weeks* before they can apply for asylum without being sent back south under the "safe third country" deal.
