how many billions will be transferred over the next year to members of ICE/CBP, their wives, and the girlfriends they met in their previous jobs as school resource officers
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Millions of documents so far, and not a single trans person or drag performer in the Epstein Files hurting children... seems to be 100% wealthy cis white folks.
Imagine that.

🎄 Santa cleared Canadian airspace. His reindeer too.
Meanwhile Pierre Poilievre still hasn’t obtained federal security clearance. That’s not a meme, it’s a fact CBC has reported.
This is why CBC matters. They report the uncomfortable truths others ignore.

For those who actually care about evidence-based city-making, there’s a ton of evidence that decongestion pricing has been a massive success in New York City, by every measure of success, and many ways that can’t be measured.
Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…
* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M
So YES this has been a huge success.

I fell off a ladder in August. The bill for the 1.7 mile ambulance ride is $4387.31.
Our $4500 per MONTH Cigna insurance won’t pay more than $600, because the ambulance is out of network.
There are no in-network ambulances in our county, and I was unconscious when it was called.

God bless the American on Threads who foolishly said that “Lenny Kravitz’s” song American Woman was a protest song. Adorable.
It’s the Canadian band Guess Who and was a song about the United States being an attractive woman with an ugly heart, basically, after they did a big tour there in ‘69.

Just curious.... what does Dr Kieran Moore do?!
Like, how does he fill his time as CMOH?
Because it is very unclear to me — as an Ontarian who would like to know that someone is in charge and providing some sort of public health leadership in Ontario.

The more I think about it, the more I reckon the 2003 Iraq War began the process that let Trump win. The blatant lies we were told by our governments, the disregard for public opinion and mockery of international law created a rupture that never healed. Trust, consent and cohesion were smashed.🧵 1/3

Doug Ford has a cabinet minister living in Timmins.
The minister could explain how northern towns have brutal levels of homelessness and lack of basic services.
But the minister has been MIA as Dougie brags about more casinos and 6 packs in corner stores.

We saw the prototype of the Nero Doctrine with Twitter. The goal wasn't to make it profitable or "free." The goal was to break the one place where news broke faster than the state could spin it.
They bought the town square not to speak in it, but to burn it down so we’d have nowhere else to gather.
