Corporations exploit the TFW/LMIA system to drive down wages and working conditions for all Canadian workers.

This program enables modern-day indentured slavery, and every life lost shows the human cost of corporate greed. That’s why it needs to be abolished.

Kill a worker. Go to jail.

They figured out after 2020 that there's actually no real need for there to be riots for "omg there are riots!" to be a widely adopted reality.
Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

Trump is sending a Russian scientist who created a breakthrough cancer detection microscope back to Putin's Russia. She was a dissident who criticized Putin and now will be in danger.
“A groundbreaking microscope at Harvard Medical School could lead to breakthroughs in cancer detection... But the scientist who developed computer scripts to read its images and unlock its full potential has been in an immigration detention center for two months” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them
Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

It's great TV watching these CNBC analysts realize there is no "theory" on TV in real time and they can't even invent one. One just said "They're burning down the house to cook a steak." There's a phone ringing off the hook in the background no one's picking up. It's chaos, I recommend it.

donald trump got the benefit of the doubt whenever he said something insane everyone was like “oh there he goes being a silly goofball again” and couldn’t actually percieve him as being serious when he said his more psychotic plans
I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

Consider this. 6 people in plainclothes approach you, and begin to cover their faces. At least one appears armed. As they grab your phone and backpack, they do not prove who they are. They say they're going to take you, but they're not saying why.

What would you call that?
NEW—After a day of uncertainty on where agents took Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk, she appears to be in a Louisiana facility.

1400+ miles from Somerville, Massachusetts, where she was taken.

A judge ordered to not take her out of state without 48 hour notice. She was detained last night.

Wild how Shadowrun today feels like an optimistic alternate future. Native Americans gain independence from the U.S. government? A benevolent dragon becomes the president and governs by suicide? People still communicate primarily through message boards? Sign me the fuck up.

So Justin Trudeau is now saying the tariffs have been paused for 30 days as they implement a new border plan.

Basically, after the markets freaked, Trump backed off of the threats while Mexico and Canada essentially promised to do things that they were already doing.

It’s all theatrics and performative.

Trump creates the problem or challenge.

Trump then offers a fake fix or solution to the fake problem or challenge.

Trump sycophants then cheer him as a genius and a political leader and problem-solver for the ages.

Rinse and repeat.

Theatrics. That’s it.
