Serious need Quebecers to think about the implications of this when voting this year. A vote for the PQ is a vote to give Donald Trump and his groyper freaks an inroad.

Did you know-
ICE needs a JUDICIAL warrant, signed by a JUDGE to enter your home.
Administrative warrants signed by ICE do not give them the authority. You refuse entry.

The evidence is increasingly pointing to the probability that an ICE agent killed a woman after misreading her as a threat because he was distracted by his simultaneous effort to record her so he could upload her image to a facial recognition database.
We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands.

Minneapolis is out in the streets to show the disgust and the rage its citizens feel against ICE. Police joined protesters to make a maximum of noise outside the hotel where the ICEstapo is housed.

So far, the most visible winners of the post-Maduro moment are not opposition leaders, but many of Maduro’s former allies

Opinion: Change – but not regime change – comes to Venezuela
The U.S. may have removed Nicolas Maduro, but Donald Trump seems intent on leaving the far-left autocracy in place

*If* this was just a coup intended to put Delcy in power, it may functionally be pretext for the U.S. to "switch sides" from the Venezuelan people (represented by exiled opposition leaders) to the Venezuelan dictatorship (now represented by Rodriguez).

Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine.
We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

Let’s look on the bright side today - there’s a chance that the DOJ is gearing up for the highest profile non-conviction possible
So for months they have tried to blame the entire fentanyl crisis on Venezuela and the indictment only mentions cocaine, which they pardoned a different guy for weeks ago
