The fires are so extensive across Manitoba, Saskatchewan & Ontario currently that there are not enough air crafts to rescue remote Native Canadians.

I am sending an SOS to every nation to help save the lives of people who are going to burn alive. Literally.

Canada needs evacuation assistance.

In itself it's not the biggest thing but Congress specifically passed a law requiring ICE to allow access to members of Congress because of Trump's antics in the first term. This isn't even norms. It's violating black letter statute law.
And here in NYC today another shocking escalation by Trump.

The law *explicitly allows* unannounced visits by congressmembers to federal facilities.

This is yet another breach of democratic norms by an increasingly rogue administration. Don't normalize this.

The administration has been hitting the “invasion” rhetoric and portraying the protests as being driven by immigrants because, as in the Alien Enemies Act cases, they want to use wartime and battlefield measures. Don’t let the rhetoric go by uncontradicted.

I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe."

But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment.

This is horrifying and should, in any reasonable world, lead to immediate impeachment. On a hot mic, before the media arrived, starting around 7:15 on the time index, Trump tells Bukele he is going to start sending "homegrown criminals" to El Salvadoran gulags. This is fascism.
Before press came in — but while live feed was running on Bukele’s feed — Trump said to him: “home-growns are next. … You’re gonna need to build about 5 more places.”

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.

An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."

The other said, "Take him anyway."

So they did.
