A story about an unpleasant incident I had in Lewiston, ID on Monday. It's more evidence that it's open season on foreigners in red states, even ones that are US citizens. #NAIABall broughton.substack.com/p/civil-righ...

“this order is perhaps the clearest signal yet of how the US government and Silicon Valley are one and the same and European liberal democracies are now the enemy”
NEW: last night, the US govt launched an assault on the ‘global censorship industrial complex’, aka European tech researchers/campaigners.
It’s a deeply chilling move & speaks as to why we need international solidarity more than ever.

CBS pulled the 60 Minutes CECOT segment, but Canada aired it anyway.
The segment was streaming via Global TV and YouTube (since taken down). Having a VPN set to Canada helped. 🇨🇦
My take, there is no reason we shouldn’t see this. Most of it was known information, easily searchable.

Prime Minister Mark Carney disagrees with the concept of a premier of one province unilaterally taking over a different province but his hands are tied by his unwillingness to do anything about it.

WASHINGTON D.C. - US President Donald Trump's planned White House ballroom, requiring the complete demolition of the historic East Wing, is being criticized by Canadians who will now never get to light the building on fire for a second time since the War of 1812.

In the midst of everything going on right now, it should not be overlooked that the government of #Cuba is sending 25,000 troops to Russia, to kill Ukrainians.
In all likelihood, this will result in the death of a large number of Cubans.
These soldiers should overthrow the Cuban government instead.
