I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

I found @chrislhayes.bsky.social's interview with Schumer to be eye-opening. Now that I understand Schumer doesn't believe we're yet in a constitutional crisis, his tactical shortcomings make sense. But his position here is also deeply out of line with rank and file Dems. We need new leadership.
"Why isn’t he doing everything possible to fight back against this constitutional crisis that we’re facing? Your interview was the first time I’ve actually gotten a clear answer to that: And it’s because he doesn’t believe it’s yet a constitutional crisis." - @ezralevin.bsky.social on Sen. Schumer

Donald Trump proudly pardoned the Nazi who wore a "Camp Auschwitz" sweatshirt while storming the Capitol and beating cops to death.
Anyone who actually believes Trump's prosecuting Mahmoud Khalil because of "antisemitism and rule of law" is either lying to themselves or a closeted Nazi.

Many people mistakenly believe Medicare covers all health and long-term needs. But it's actually Medicaid that funds most long-term care.
Medicaid also covers services that Medicare doesn’t:
🚙 Transportation to appointments
🦼 Special equipment like motorized wheelchairs
🦷 Dental care
🦻🏾 Hearing care

Russian state media openly says what I and others warned about, which Trump/Vance/Musk and fans—along with Jeffrey Sachs, Noam Chomsky, and their end of the horseshoe—get badly wrong:
Russia is after conquest, not peace. US weakening Ukraine encourages more Russian attacks, not Russian negotiations.

On Kremlin TV, Putin intimate Solov'yov says Russia so encouraged by Trump taking their side no longer see need for ceasefire.
"No, there won’t be any ceasefire. Our idea of peace is everything happening as we see fit”
Then plays a clip of Vance slamming Ukraine.
Vance is "our man" he says.

American hunger and financial ruin, TB and AIDS around the world, measles here, Ukrainian deaths, etc. Someone should maybe start a Trump Regime Death Count kind of like the covid statistics from five years ago.
Tuberculosis, the deadliest infectious disease on the planet, kills more than 1.25M people a year. New infections are expected to surge by 30% as a result of closing USAID, a memo says. The increase will inevitably lead to cases in the U.S.
Internal Memos: Senior USAID Leaders Warned Trump Appointees of Hundreds of Thousands of Deaths From Closing Agency
One million children will go untreated for severe malnutrition, up to 166,000 people will die from malaria and 200,000 more children will be paralyzed by polio over the next decade, the memos…
