In case you think that the USA has not descended into full on fascism.

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

I had the opportunity to rise during Senate Question Period this week, to ask about the Canadian government's continued commitment to using X for official communications - and about their failure to use sites such as Bluesky and Mastodon. What do you think? #cdnpoli #Canada #Grok #X #Bluesky

To whom it may concern, I am a physician. I am NOT a provider. Correct yourself! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Well, it looks like someone is impersonating me on @bsky.app. Please report @cflourish1122t.bsky.social. This is NOT a backup account, as it claims to be. 🫠

🗣️ "If proven, the allegations as reported would amount to a serious abuse of entrusted power at the heart of government during a national crisis." Read out statement on the latest Mandelson allegations ⤵️ www.transparency.org.uk/news/mandels...

BREAKING: Peter Mandelson has been reported to the police over the latest Epstein revelations The SNP said serious allegations are now emerging that sensitive, state information that may have been passing between Mandelson and Epstein

The USA should watch and learn from the UK. Peter Mandelson’s career is sinking faster than the titanic

Bari Weiss and CBS sure knows how to pick’em 🤢

Absolutely disgusting that Elon Musk and Twitter paid Andrew Tate $57,360.87 for his hateful rhetoric

Did you know baby shampoo is mild enough, when used with water, to rinse eyes if they've been sprayed? Like when walking on or around ICE? We need to be careful and listen to this ophthalmologist about pepper spray. #ProudBlue 📹: drglaucomflecken/TT (a.k.a. Dr. William Flannary)

The right move from @rcphysicians.bsky.social other organisations and people would do well to do likewise. www.rcp.ac.uk/news-and-med...

If the Russians or Chinese had done this, we’d be expelling their ambassador…

Just to be clear:

Goons went after AP reporters today in Minneapolis

I’m not sure how much notice this has received but the Assembly of First Nations in Canada has issued a travel advisory for the United States after reports that Indigenous people are being increasingly questioned and detained by ICE. www.instagram.com/p/DT-_SacDEH...

This is the large domino, with the small domino being some random quack in the UK in 1998 trying to undermine the existing MMR vaccine so his business partner can swoop in with his own. Instead he lost his work credentials and now kids are dying needlessly all over the world, so great job everyone.

(The Atlantic) The rise and strength of lawsuits involving Minneapolis and ICE. So much data, coming out of the ICE killings in Minneapolis. Trump and his minions were not smart at all and could not see that they were overplaying their hand. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The annual Up Helly Aa festival in Lerwick is underway! 🔥 Guizer Jarl, Lynden Nicolson, and his Jarls squad photographed as part of a wider season of 11 fire festivals across Shetland that run from January through March

This is a terrific piece of rhetorical construction that also happens to be a very good point. A lot of us have been heartened by the courage and integrity so many Minnesotans have shown over this past week, in the face of intimidation and spiteful violence.

Bovino out! Not enough. Not even close.

France announced today it’s phasing out Teams, Zoom, etc. to be replaced with a French/European solution called Visio. The data is hosted on Outscale. Transcripts and subtitles are also handled by French providers. The target is set on 2027 for government agencies.

Some hae meat and canna eat, And some wad eat that want it, But we hae meat and we can eat, And sae the Lord be thankit.

Enjoying my MacSweens haggis tonight. To the Bard

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

I've reached out to all Canadian companies listed here to ask if they intend to continue working with ICE: Hootsuite Roshel Garda Jim Pattison Developments I've also reached out to @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social's team for comment on export permits for Canadian sale of armoured vehicles to ICE.

We need Canadian - or at minimum non US- social media that refuses to work with companies like Hootsuite.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

From Whittier a few hrs ago—after shooting & killing an ICE responder in Minneapolis, 37 yr old Alex Pretti, DHS agents brutalized a crowd that gathered & flooded the area w/ tear gas. @andral404.bsky.social captured this moment against a building where a fed then pointed his rifle at someone.

An unarmed police force, police by consent. An armed force polices by force

… Italy paid “an unquestionable price: 53 fallen Italian soldiers and more than 700 injured.” Statements minimising NATO countries’ contribution are “unacceptable,” and “friendship requires respect.”

Meloni: Italian Gov was astonished by Trump’s remarks claiming NATO allies “stayed back” in Afghanistan. NATO activated Article 5 in “an act of extraordinary solidarity” toward the United States, and Italy “responded immediately,” deploying thousands of troops and leading Regional Command West

The Vice-President of Germany's Football Association calls for a debate about boycotting this year's World Cup because of Trump

Almost three hundred thousand jobs and fifty-two billion dollars erased from the Florida economy… Enjoy reaping what your votes have sewn. Don’t expect it to get any better any time soon. Schadenfreude level: over 9000. #cdnpoli #uspoli #boycottusa

Cassoulet ready for the oven. Duck Toulouse sausage and cervelas de Lyon sausage. Pork rind enriched bean broth and duck fat as the liquid.

Building a cassoulet. So far tarbais beans. Duck confit.

Now more than ever you must believe your own eyes.

Belgian PM De Wever: The United States is by far the strongest power within NATO. But our dignity is not for sale. We are not slaves.

Moments before the first shot is fired, this federal agent can be seen retreating with a gun. It appears to match the general appearance of the firearm posted by DHS, including the red dot sight. This agent’s back is turned when the first shot occurs. x.com/BillMelugin_...

BlueSky won’t let me share the video, but you can see one of the ICE agents rip a gun out of this man’s waistband *before* the shooting starts. From this angle, it’s hard to see how this was anything but an execution, unless simply carrying a gun is now illegal in America.

Governor, You have the Minnesota National Guard troops. Deploy them. Arrest the ICE agents. Enforce the laws and defend your people against Trump's Terrorists.
