21-year-old activist injured by ICE:
I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

this is Minnesotan for "I am mad enough to bite through rebar"
Props to the lady giving an interview in her pink UFFDA hat and saying, "well, gosh, I've never had tear gas and flashbangs shot at me, but I'm happy to take it so my neighbors are safe."

We can’t fix what we don’t measure.
Quite frankly, it’s outrageous that Mark Carney is cutting Statistics Canada. If he was Stephen Harper or Pierre Poilievre, I feel like this would be getting a lot more backlash.
Carney of all people should know the importance of high-quality data and information about the country.

Maduro is a drug dealing corrupt dictator who stole the 2024 election. But I am concerned about this outright violation of international law and the absence of US Congress. This was Trump unilateralism in many ways. What will be the blowback?

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

Periodic reminder that governmental obfuscation is not just a burr for journos: It runs counter to the public interest. It makes for an ill-informed population with less trust in institutions.
The people who work for you don't want you to have information you own. Be mad about that.

So Danielle Smith wants to take over policing in Alberta because she needs the police to get to Albertans on time...
But she can't even manage making sure that POLICE get an AMBULANCE on time with the EMS service she already runs?!?
This is horrifying.
