You have the right to record ICE.
You have the right to film any operation happening in public as long as you do not interfere or impede it.
Your camera is proof, but keep a safe distance. KEEP RECORDING.

🚨 CNBC on latest jobs numbers: "A big miss on ADP payrolls. The private payroll company saying private payrolls shed 32,000 workers in Nov. That's the 4th negative number in past 6 months. The estimate was for +40,000, so the street was off ... this may be coming from being hammered by the tariffs"

Pretty interesting to see the bots and foreign influence farmers show up on Bluesky. It means the platform has made it when the propagandists start showing up en masse.

The tragedy in Hong Kong makes clear the risk of bamboo scaffolding. Asia moving to metal scaffolding is will create huge demand for products from Layher and others. Canada should be talking with Layher about manufacturing scaffolding systems in Canada with Canadian steel for domestic and export.

Listening to Jason Kenny make noises on CBC News about the pipeline MOU. He likes to cite the "Alberta puts in about $20b into the Federal Treasury" but then he never points out that the oil and gas industry in Canada gets subsidies that size or larger from the Federal Treasury also.

Trump tells Putin what he wants in Ukraine in Alaska, and he tells Trump to work through Witkoff, and then leaks "Witkoff's" actions. Either way it is complete capitulation and a foreign policy embarrassment for the US.

That's what the #ICE agent who rammed US Citizen, Miramar Martinez & shot her 5 times.
Then ICE lied & said she rammed them.
#ICELawlessness abounds.
If it can happen to them, it can happen to you!
So speak out & share!

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
