Another person murdered by ICE.

President Trump's federal agents have been carrying out a brutal retribution campaign in Minnesota that’s violating the most basic freedoms of the United States minnesotareformer.com/2026/01/23/8...

Scenes of civil disobedience outside the Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, where protesters, including religious readers, blocked the road on a statewide day of “no work (except for emergency services), no school, and no shopping” on January 23. Photos by @lfelizleon.bsky.social

These are concentration camps. And these are the numbers they're comfortable sharing.

Minnesota appears to be in gear for a mass uprising. Unions, community organizations, faith leaders, and small businesses there are calling for a statewide day of “no work (except for emergency services), no school, and no shopping” on January 23 @lfelizleon.bsky.social reports 🧵1/7

I believe Avi Lewis is the leader the NDP needs right now. He’s someone who gives us hope, unites our movements, and offers bold, inspiring solutions to tackle affordability while upholding human rights without qualification or exception. (1/2)

“No work, no school, no shopping." Major labor unions and community groups are calling for every Minnesotan to leverage their labor and economic power and refuse to show up to work on Friday, January 23. workdaymagazine.org/we-are-facin...

Doc Rivers, Steve Kerr, the T-Wolf fans, Sportsguy Nick Wright. More please. Let’s go sports world. You want to see brave? Be an immigrant walking to work in Minneapolis. That’s brave. You just have to say “state murder is bad.” It’s not fucking hard and it’s needed from all corners.

There have also been a high volume of in-custody deaths at detention centers across the country.

And who can forget the MULTIPLE deaths in California, as frightened workers were chased by federal agents during workplace raids. One farmworker fell to his death from a greenhouse during a raid on a farm. Another was hit by a car trying to evade a raid at Home Depot.

In another case, ICE ran over a man while detaining him.

In September, federal immigration agents shot and killed Villegas González in Chicago.

Federal immigration agents have now shot and killed multiple people since Trump took office a year ago. Today alone marks the second deadly ICE shooting IN A WEEK. An off-duty shot and killed a 43-year-old father in CA on Dec. 31.

ICE agent shoots and murders woman in Minneapolis.

UN Charter Article 2(4) is a core principle of international law. It prohibits all states from the threat/use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any other state, banning war & coercion except self-defense or UN Security Council authorization.

Canada finally reacts, through our foreign affairs minister (not our prime minister). Really, embarrassingly timid statement when you consider what just happened.

Trump has bombed Yemen, Nigeria, Somalia, Iraq, Syria and Iran, even refuses to rule out bombing Greenland, a sovereign territory of ally Denmark. Today an illegal coup in Venezuela, but where next? Donald Trump talks peace but he is a man of war | Simon Tisdall www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

So, Trump declared war without legal authority from congress, illegally kidnapped another country’s head of state and now plans to prosecute him in another jurisdiction for unspecified crimes?

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

Incroyable! Hockey USA, you're what the French call "les incompétents".

“After just having taken my oath to become the mayor of the city of New York, I do so also here in the old City Hall subway station – a testament to the importance of public transit to the vitality, the health, the legacy of our city.”

Happy winter solstice!

Michael Ma collected his own conservative secret santa gift before crossing the floor BUT DID NOT DELIVER ANYTHING TO THE NAME HE DREW HE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN JAMIL JIVANI’S SECRET SANTA LMFAO THIS DIVAAAAAA

This is the logical policy outcome for a government that is captured by a single industry. Socialize the risk, privatize the profits. It is socialism for the rich while the public is left with all the environmental costs.

Doug Ford doesn't really like being held accountable. He prefers to make corrupt deals with his cronies in the shadows. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Lol, Conservative MP Michael Ma went to the Conservative holiday party on Wednesday and then defected to the Libs and went to their holiday party Thursday. So many questions.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”. If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

Under the agreement announced Monday with New York City’s Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, Starbucks will pay $3.4 million in civil penalties, in addition to the $35 million it is paying workers. The company also agreed to comply with the city’s Fair Workweek law going forward.

So Brampton’s Mayor Patrick Brown would have us believe he had “nothing to do with” his wife’s purchase of a downtown property in the heart of the City slated for redevelopment. The acquisition was made using a private company of which he is Vice President. 🤷🏼🤔🧐🤨🤷🏼 www.thestar.com/news/investi...

Get your head around this: the Premier who quite literally passed the Saskatchewan First Act is claiming that the Premier of BC isn't acting as a team player because he opposes something that the Sask Premier agrees with.

Mel Lastman told councillor David Miller that "you will never be mayor of this city." Of course, the next mayor of the city of Toronto was David Miller.

Doug Ford tells someone protesting his disastrous Bill 60 to find a job. The gall of the laziest premier telling someone to get a job. He’s a loathsome human and absolute shambles of a leader who has never had the best interests of anyone but himself in mind during his reign of destruction.

11 years of assault. Suspended w pay at $357,000 per year. Friday 5pm news release.

Once a fringe activity, cultural boycotts of Israel and have gone mainstream, especially in the Canadian arts. "We are gaining momentum and it’s not the time to slow down,” one organizer tells @rdassaly.bsky.social.

If you're keeping score this week, Carney is: * Negotiating backroom deals on pipelines with Alberta and without BC or Indigenous folks. * Undermining anti-greenwashing laws. * Making deals with the UAE despite their role in Sudan. * Cutting funding for infectious disease work in Africa.

This is so weird.

I thought I invented this.

Friday evening, we were drinking beer on a patio. Today, it's snowy. The snow is beautiful, though. I'm not complaining. I'll always be excited about the first snow of the year.

What more is there to say at this point?

Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani won the New York City mayoral race on Tuesday, marking a historic win for the left over a high-powered, moneyed coalition of establishment forces that came together in hopes of defeating him.

Zohran Mamdani spent last night with the late-night workers he said are often forgotten — can drivers at LGA and hospital workers on a 7-7 shift at Elmhurst Hospital, before walking to Kebab King and then having a midnight press conference in Jackson Heights

Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...
