All the other media is focused on actual news.

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets.

Obviously a parody account, but this sounds totally on-brand for the #HamOnt Ward 2 councillor.

Parody account with rude name posts facetious statement conflating theft with recycling which perfectly captures virtue signalling politician's tone

So, one group of "insiders" will be replaced with another group of "insiders". Gotcha.

New blog post:

More concerning details regarding this Council's elimination of the decades old tradition of citizen advisory committees.
The new CLGs will be self-selecting. Ironic because this Council term began with concerns about 'insiders' and lack of change

This is a crystal clear image of the scumbag Nazi ICE agent that brutally assaulted a mother at a NYC immigration office, while her young daughter watched - and a new photo showing him grabbing her hair before he slammed her to the ground.

Make him even MORE famous.

Mario Guevara faces imminent deportation after being detained by ICE for over 100 days.

His crime? Livestreaming a “No Kings” protest.

If you were outraged about Jimmy Kimmel, you should be more outraged about Guevara.

It’s time to #FreeMario now!

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

It's very hard to believe that this officer (suspended or not) was openly espousing these views and supporting these organizations without the awareness of his colleagues and superiors.

Good work from HARRC, but this is yet another disappointing blow to the public trust in HPS.

HARRC confirms vehicle with Diagalon decal is registered to a suspending Hamilton Police Services Member

HARRC is calling on the Hamilton Police Services Board to commission an independent investigation into a complaint relating to a vehicle displaying a Diagolon decal, a known extremist hate symbol, parked outside Central Station and linked to a Hamilton Police Service member.

HARRC first raised this issue in December 2024, filing a formal complaint with the Professional Standards Branch, citing concerns about public safety and potential affiliation with hate groups. Despite follow-up correspondence and a referral to the Inspector General of Policing, no resolution has been provided.

The urgency of this matter has grown following recent media reports that Constable Renato Greco was suspended after posting extremist content online. HARRCs inquiries confirmed the vehicle in question is registered to the suspended officer.

Given the serious nature of the concerns previously raised by HARRC, the escalation of hate incidents in our community, and the growing presence of white nationalist "active clubs" in Hamilton, we believe there is now an urgent need for an independent civilian investigation.

A National Guard report accidentally emailed to the Post says veterans and active-duty troops view the D.C. deployment with "shame and alarm" @alexhorton.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

National Guard documents show public ‘fear,’ troops’ ‘shame’ over D.C. presence

Internal documents reviewed by The Post reveal, with rare candor, how domestic missions rooted in politics risk damaging Americans’ trust in the military.

Korea's leading press agency publishes accounts from the Hyundai/LG employees and execs who were brutalized, put in chains and subjected to hours of racist taunts by Trump's secret police... much of which was comically ignorant (ICE agents called them "Rocket Men"). Needs US translation.
