The presumption of safety & legal protection that white Americans have historically experienced, IOW, has often been conditioned upon their acquiescence to the basic rules of white supremacy. Dare to speak or act in opposition to it and your whiteness card can be revoked, usually with extra malice.

Does anyone have a link to a good explainer about how to make sure iPhones and Androids are uploading to the cloud while people are monitoring government activity? Seems important.

Minutes after claiming the victim wanted to "massacre" law enforcement, Bovino is asked to specify when exactly the individual allegedly pulled his gun on ICE agents Bovino then ducks the question and says the incident is "under investigation"

There shouldn’t be a Department of Homeland Security. It’s a grab bag of various agencies under a dangerously murky heading which can and now has been co-opted for a fascist transition. Abolish ICE and redistribute the other agencies.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

It is way, way worse than the first video made it look. He was helping someone else up, got maced, and then got dragged to the ground from behind and shot multiple times.

US-owned TikTok is a greater threat than Chinese-owned TikTok.

“our tech doesn’t do any of the things we claimed the past few years, but we still need you to use it or the line will go down”

What is going on in Minneapolis? If you can't watch the video - they shot him once. He was then on the ground not moving and everyone backed away, then another agent - from a distance - shot him in the head again and again and again. [content warning] www.reddit.com/r/Minneapoli...

The way some people talk about Mark Carney reminds me of the Chuck Norris memes from 15 years ago and it's very weird.

Anyone who says "purity test" is a hard no for me right off the bat. It's always code for being an asshole to the vulnerable. Every time.

David Suzuki has never lead me astray, since I have been little.

If I were a PM who believed we were at a global rupture moment, upending decades of international order, and requiring totally new relations with the world, I probably wouldn’t cut my foreign affairs staffing and budget by 15%

Thinking that Canada can or will be a positive influence on any of these regimes is nonsense.

Sigh…the bottom line is we ended up with a conservative PM but without the culture wars bullshit of PP. Time for the NDP to rebuild.

wow ok the king's horses actually figured out how to put humpty dumpty together again an— oh come on, he's climbing right back up that wall. god damn it, what an asshole. you can tell the horses are furious with him

crazy that the website that I randomly decided to put together at 10AM yesterday has had over 25k unique visitors in 24 hours. please keep sharing with your networks.

Article in Psychology Today. Why Sensory Overload isn’t always about “Too Much” --- Sensory overload is often about uncertainty and how long the brain has to stay engaged—especially in autism and ADHD. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/givi...

Just waiting for the "pendulum to swing back" is not going to cut it for the rest of the world.

1. Family history 2. Metis politics 3. Socialism 4. Seed beads and neechi beadwork 5. Decolonization

"Drink whole milk, you'll come in 5th place" is an incredible ad campaign.

I hear Carney made a nice speech, The problem is words are cheap and his actions to date don't come close to matching them,

"Resistance is first of all a matter of principle and a way to live, to make yourself one small republic of unconquered spirit. You hope for results, but you don't depend on them." -Rebecca Solnit, Hope in the Dark

Now replace "middle powers" with "middle and lower classes" and replace "rules-based international order" with "neoliberal systems", then we might get somewhere.

Canadians should be asking questions about how deeply our military has been collaborating with American ops of questionable legality. ((From my first email on Jan. 12 to now I have requested answers or a statement from the DND - ‘we’re still working on this’ will probably go on my tombstone))

OSINT and military sources have raised troubling questions: Have CAF been involved in flying deportees to CECOT in El Salvador? What about providing intelligence or support for Op. Southern Spear?

there are afternoons when decades happen

My story:

wait please tell me this interaction isn't what people have been criticizing John Ganz about

it's good, actually, to tell prominent gutter racists to eat shit

it is pretty obvious that what Hanania means by "grace" is "I receive no social opprobrium or consequences for being a head-measuring racist", and I don't really think that deal is favourable for those of us who are not head-measuring racists

Last time I checked the Patricias also regularly clobber the US army in war games.

In this analogy China has multiple bases in Hawaii and is in a defensive alliance with America but they need to take Hawaii because Brazil is looking at it funny.

i know it’s all unbelievably awful but i’m sorry: the nobel prize/greenland thing is incredibly funny
