I don't understand why Trump has any support. He's basically an asshole. He's not Kennedy. He's not Lincoln. He's not Roosevelt. He's not Eisenhower. He's just selfish and stupid and mean. WTF America!!

Given Apple’s recent decision to comply with Trump’s demands and ban ICEblock, it’s clear the company has chosen not to stand up for users’ rights. So we've chosen to end our support for Apple by cancelling our AppleTV account and our MLS Season Pass subscription.

Could US government ban apps which track ICE agents?
The US government and law enforcement agencies have hit out at developers and users of the apps, saying they pose a risk to agents.

Dear Lord,
This morning I am grateful for your gift of men, who set limits on my word choices and self-expression. Without the miracle of a guiding hand, my thoughts and words could stray into sinful independence.

"To legislate us back to work 12 hours after we started? I'm sorry, snowstorms have shut down Air Canada for longer than we were allowed to strike."
A very choice quote from one of their union leaders.

A short update is that they're planning on ignoring the back to work orders.

@mark-carney.bsky.social co Canadians have constitutional rights. Air Canada Flight Attendants will most likely inspire others to fight back. Rightfully so!

At least the "court of public opinion" seems to support the Air Canada workers. Good.

If the work is too important to interrupt it because of a strike, then maybe you should do everything in your power to make sure strikes don't happen, say, by paying your employees adequately?

Interesting how the feds let Canada Post strike for a little while but immediately intervened for Air Canada. I imagine they saw a strategic advantage in letting workers strike to weaken Canada Post for eventual privatization. Air Canada gets what they want because shareholder profits are in play

Air Canada’s flight attendants should refuse the minister’s orders. Full stop.

Canada needs a general strike. This is completely unacceptable.

Canada’s federal government doesn’t work for Air Canada.

This wasn’t just a security breach, documents obtained by NPR from a hotel guest who found them on a printer revealed something even more disturbing: a planned luncheon in honor of Vladimir Putin. The menu literally read, “In honor of his excellency Vladimir Putin.”
