Absurd to hear some Canadians claiming the country is a "sinking ship" right after Carney's stirring speech at Davos. It all sounds sadly similar to MAGA rhetoric 😔
Next is the Q&A portion. Someone says they were unsure about independence first but saw that Canada is a sinking ship, and asks what electoral format the speakers would like to have. Lavigne says first-past-the-post doesn't work.

Stop giving extremists oxygen. The far right had no real voice until it was amplified by a media hellbent on causing outrage. Now we’re left with #Trump in the #USA and #Reform in the #UK
He’s in the news because people are rightly disgusted a draft dodger is insulting dead soldiers.
He wants to be in the news. He doesn’t care what for. I’m not sure what the solution is, but keeping him in the news has secured him a second presidency. Maybe we need to stop putting him in the news.

They are not even pretending that they are trying to get the 5 year old out of a detention center where conditions are reported to be deplorable. If there is a hell, it is not hot enough for these bastards.

It's -20 in Minneapolis and organizers are in the streets before dawn getting ready for actions related to the general strike. They've had locals training out-of-town volunteers on how to prepare for and endure the cold. AND IT IS WORKING. THE STRIKE IS HAPPENING. THE CITY IS DOING THE DAMN THING...

I'm calling every one of these reps today. Absolutely furious that they decided to fund this lawless agency.
Political suicide for republic must translate to political suicide for political careers — especially the Democrats who betray democracy.
Here are their names:

For any of the armchair warlords out there arguing that Americans aren’t taking this seriously unless we start commit actual acts of violence, keep your bad opinions safely ensconced in your neck of the woods.
Peaceful, relentless organization is our ONLY hope. Not civil war or guerrilla fighting.

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

This tracks with the on-duty National Guard members I interviewed while covering the October No Kings march in DC. They did not want to be associated with ICE or immigration enforcement and were hoping that the public understood the difference.
In a long, scathing interview, a member of the DC National Guard accuses the Trump administration of "parading [us] around to intimidate people." He talks candidly about what his deployment has been like.

Disgustingly ignorant comment, just completely untethered from historical reality. There are people with traumatic brain injuries, amputations, and PTSD in all of the countries that fought alongside us.
Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

'Why aren't they in the streets' is answered almost every day in my small town by people in the streets! Rather than asking 'why aren't they in the streets' it's worth asking 'why isn't your media showing them in the streets' and 'who is served by downplaying resistane in its myriad forms.'
The idea that there are no protests in the US and no one is standing up to Trump is proving incredibly hard to kill over here in Germany. It’s become dogma, utterly detached from empirical reality.
I wonder if the people who keep talking like that understand they’re perpetuating regime propaganda.

hey world, if you think Americans are only doing No Kings protests every few months... I don't blame you because our own media doesn't show us the DAILY protests in every state.
We've been on the streets for a year now. We're massive; it'll never look like European resistance, but we are out there!

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.
Senator Gallego weighs in as well. Note that at the start of 2025 he was considered a *moderate* on immigration and co-sponsored the Laken Riley Act. Him and many other Dems have been increasingly horrified at what ICE is doing and shifted away from a "more enforcement" focus.
