I am so impressed with the number of businesses that are locking their doors and refusing service to ICE. They shouldn't be able to buy a sandwich anywhere.
How ICE violently kidnaps people & then throw them out in different location, with zero charges - is exactly how #RCMPCIRG works in #BritishColumbia #Canada. They've kidnapped me & many other activists from frontlines, drive us in a paddywagon & throw us out in remote areas with zero charges. There's zero accountability for their abuses of power & criminal acts.
I just want more #Canadians to realize that we have similar thugs with badges in #Canada. We, POC folks - have suffered the most from that kind of unethical/immoral/illegal #CrimesAgainstHumanity & it happens in other places across the country too. Privileged folks don't see much of these harsh realities. They're not fighting as much against injustices at all.

I posted recently that there was a non-zero chance of #Trump starting WW3.
#Greenland is a territory of #Denmark. Denmark is in #NATO. The NATO Treaty says an armed attack against one NATO member shall be considered an attack against them all.
Lots of people warned before Trump was reelected that when a narcissist feels the walls closing around him, he takes everybody else down with him.
That's what's happening.
The GOP in Congress could still stop it, but time's running out.

"The snarl of Ross calling Good a “fucking bitch” is familiar in the way any garden-variety misogynistic comment is to most women. He said it after he shot her, after it was clear she would be grievously injured @ best & dead @ worst. It was adding literal insult to injury, an aside meant mostly for himself, to shore him up as the big man who won the fight w/this small girl. It wasn’t enough to just kill her—he had to insult her in a uniquely female way too."

I want to make this absolutely clear: the United States has a unique, decentralized voting mechanism, totally different from how they run elections elsewhere in the world. Whenever people talk about “the vote is not even going to happen”, they are referring to a situation that *cannot* happen here. Whenever you talk about not bothering to vote because it doesn’t matter, or it’s not worth supporting politicians at this point, because they’re all the same or the vote is somehow rigged, you’re being disingenuous, dishonest, or both. I will not be taking anything you say seriously after you say something like that. If you are not a United States voter, I especially do not want to see your opinion on whether or not elections are taking place here. Killing hope is a well-known information warfare technique and we have to protect ourselves from it. #USPol
"Trump has ‘shaken the hell’ out of the 80-year research pact between the government and universities. What now? The American research enterprise has proven to be much more brittle than expected."

CW: Occasional Foul Language. Always Political.
“Internal bleeding” can literally just mean a bruise.
Honest journalism would cover how murderer & domestic terrorist, Jonathan Ross, was part of Border Patrol before he joined ICE, and that Border Patrol’s tactics include stepping in front of a moving vehicle to “justify” deadly force

"The Supreme Court has said legal fights over terminated federal grants 'likely' belong in the Court of Federal Claims. But judges there lack authority to restore them."

Canadian travel to the U.S. is down anywhere between 15 and 30%, which seems not enough to me but any Canadian booking discretionary travel to the U.S. from this week on, I mean, wtf is wrong with you?
