Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Mark Carney is the only G7 leader who hasn’t yet released a statement on Venezuela and he’s really, really going to have to get it right. This is not the time for diplomatic redirection towards Maduro’s many flaws. A Starmer-like capitulation to Trump’s invasion would be disastrous.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Cool study from @bikewaysto.bsky.social detailing a traffic count on Bloor Street taken on June 11 with a camera at 412 Bloor West. During the peak of the afternoon rush, bikes outnumbered cars.
I repeat: bikes outnumbered cars.

If elected, Poilievre’s government will “put an end to the imposition of woke ideology in the federal civil service and federal funds for university research.”
The phrase is almost identical to wording used by the Trump administration.

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie.

This is clear evidence that Poilievre and the Conservatives will follow Trump's style of leadership -- because they already are.
