A ProPublica analysis of habeas cases shows that immigrants have filed more challenges to their detention in the first 13 months of Trump’s second term than in the last three administrations combined — and the number keeps rising.

Hard not to read this and feel that what @bardcollege.bsky.social president Leon Botstein found morally urgent and emotionally effecting in the Epstein story was not the women and girls who were abused, but the rich man who was embarrassed.

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

Olivia Dean: "I guess I want to say I'm up here as the granddaughter of an immigrant, I wouldn't be here... I'm a product of bravery and I think those people deserve to be celebrated"

When we talk about abusive men weaponing the legal system, this is what we mean. He not only viciously murdered his wife. He then tortured her poor loved ones by dragging things in court for YEARS only to finally admit "Yeah, I did it and I did it on purpose."

they went to an emergency room seeking help for their 7 year old child. ICE arrested the 7 year old and her parents. the family is here legally. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

Days after Mark Carney gassed on about international law, Canada is on the edge of once more becoming complicit in an act of extraordinary rendition to torture. homesnotbombs.blogspot.com/2026/01/fami...

Epstein’s victims have been largely cast aside in these discussions as mere backdrops whose suffering is occasionally acknowledged but then followed by endless caveats trying to contextualize and diminish Chomsky’s normalization of a child predator. canadiandimension.com/articles/vie...

Why is lethal, sickening tech being tested in downtown Ottawa? "The systems, which can cost less than $500, are currently being widely used in the Russia-Ukraine war as well as in fighting in Gaza, Haiti, Lebanon and Syria." ottawacitizen.com/public-servi...

Instead of taxing the rich to feed his Military Industrial Complex, Carney has decided to literally take food out of the mouths of babes.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

These kids simply want to go to school but they can't because they are among over 2,500 Palestinians trapped in Egypt waiting up to 20 months for Canadian visas. Ukrainians waiting only two weeks for visa approval. What's the holdup for these kids and so many others?

When the Liberals invite the guy behind Project 2025 to speak with them, you know there is no point worrying about Poilievre. King Carney is the real threat. www.thestar.com/news/world/p...

Today is Day Two of the Chain Fast for Palestinian Family Reunification to end Canada's None is Too Many Palestinian visa policy (fewer than 2% of 5,000 applicants have been directly evacuated by Canada in 20 months). Bring them all here now! Thanks Sharen Craig for fasting today!

España, te amo. On left, Spanish crowds cheer the International Brigades resisting 1930s fascism. On the right, people of Spain cheering on an international group of freedom riders/sailors heading out on the huge Samud flotilla to break the siege of Gaza and end Israeli fascism.

Today begins a Chain Fast for Palestinian Family Reunification for immediate evacuation corridor for 3500+ applicants in Gaza and those stranded in Egypt. Kicking off the fast today: Kim Leblanc of Toronto and Eric Unger of Winnipeg. Join the fast at rrrncanada.blogspot.com/2025/08/chai...

Condolences to all suffering this weekend from the Toronto War Show. Here's is a look back to when we were able to shut down the Hamilton War Show. They are not as all-powerful as they think. We CAN stop militarism. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rzF...

We cannot, we must not, look away. Canada must evacuate Mamdouh. His story is one we bring to our weekly Wednesday vigil (11 am-1 pm) at Immigration HQ in Ottawa, 300 Slater (at Kent) August. We demand immediate evacuation corridor for all Gaza-Canada visa applicants, waiting & dying for 19 months

Over 630 days after being placed on the Canadian evacuation list, Mamdouh remains stranded in the kill zone, even though Canada has clearly shown it has the capacity to evacuate people through the Karem Shalom crossing. Please sign and share www.change.org/p/canada-mus...

More war crimes from Israel

They will spend untold billions on war and ruin your health at the same time. www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...

Mark Carney Anita Anand: will you call for the release of these hostages taken by the Israeli apartheid regime? They were kidnapped in international waters by a state committing genocide.

The Israeli generals leaking this is ... you know ... it doesn't look good. It doesn't look good at the top.

Ka’ila Farrell-Smith grew up deeply involved in the fight for Indigenous rights. “I’ve been warned my entire life, ‘The FBI’s watching us.’” Now the agency is focused on her and a new generation of activists challenging a lithium mine in Nevada.

As always, @julieslalonde.bsky.social Lalonde puts it out there with such truthful clarity. I believe EM as well. www.instagram.com/yellowmantea...

"Wildfires" makes them sound like freaks of nature & disappears the oil companies & political arsonists responsible for them. How about "capitalist flames"?

“Today, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, he’s the only reporter in the United States sleeping in a prison cell for doing his job” The ‘free speech’ ‘anti cancel culture!’ party did this. Hypocrites. All of them.

ICE attempted to enter the home of a woman with her children in Huntington Beach. However, the entire community, police department, and city council intervened and forced them to leave. Keep fighting back ✊🏽
