I think today may be the day it finally becomes impossible to find any humour in it anymore.

The Big Lie just keeps getting bigger.

A “wall of drones” is being constructed to block Russia on the eastern flank.

Unbelievable! This is a US Border Agent chasing a Canadian couple heading towards the border back to Canada. He yells at them: “Never come to the US again” 🚨 DO NOT GO TO THE US IT IS NOT SAFE. #Canada #FascistUSA #BoycottUSA

Millions of Americans marched against the US invading Iraq under the false pretence of weapons of mass destruction. How many Americans will march against the US invading itself under the false pretence of domestic terrorism?

The fight against the conditions in Broadview isn't over. Far from it. I'll be there for the Friday morning protest (7-9 AM). But if you're considering going out tonight, take a moment to also consider other lives at risk. We are here to advocate for our neighbors, not jeopardize them. 6/6

Other folks who have also peacefully protested Broadview and encouraged people to come out on Friday mornings are also worried that tonight will be far, FAR higher risk than anyone expected. If you choose to go, keep that in mind. 5/6

As someone who has been peacefully protesting at Broadview every Friday for weeks, I cannot in good conscience fail to name these additional risks publicly or advise others to go. ICE is escalating and confrontational protest right now will likely make conditions worse for everyone except ICE. 4/6

ICE sealed off Beach Street with an unlawful fence which forces protesters to be at a driveway that is ripe for kettling. Yesterday, they shot pepper balls, flash bangs, tear gas, and rubber bullets at 9 AM. It will almost certainly be worse tonight. And used as an excuse for ICE overreach. 3/6

ICE has escalated week after week. They have told the village of Broadview that tonight will be a "shitshow", terrorizing residents and using more force against protesters. I would not be surprised if we see dramatic escalation from ICE tonight. 2/6 www.fox32chicago.com/news/broadvi...

🚨 IMPORTANT THREAD 🚨 People are protesting the Broadview ICE facility tonight. This will likely be an extremely high-risk action. I caution you to consider your risk level before attending. I will not attend. Attendance risks your safety, but also the safety of Broadview residents + detainees. 1/6

Governor Tina Kotek said in a statement that she’d reached out to the White House and DHS for an explanation and said there was “no security threat in Portland"

Awful news that Kaleb Horton died. A talented writer who in another time would've been getting $5 a word with an expense account. Read his skilled filleting of the Entourage movie web.archive.org/web/20150605...

I know everything in the world is terrible right now, but I'm one week in to fostering this lovely little rescue puppy. It's taken him a few days to get used to people, but he's starting to come out of his shell. He's still not entirely sure what to make of us, but he's a curious little guy.

For sure. The trustees are where they are trying to push in undetected. We held them off last time.

“Seriously, but not literally” was always terrible advice for understanding Trump.

Pour diversifier nos partenariats politiques et économiques, il faut évidemment que le premier ministre voyage à l’étranger. Mes observations dans cet article. ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/219...

I .. . Agree.

Donald Trump is using federal agents to stoke fear and violate constitutional rights — all with the aims of expanding his control and sending military troops to our cities. It’s unlawful and un-American. We must all stand up and speak out against fanning the flames of violence.

"russian territory"

My other favorite Kaleb Horton piece, about another person whose voice I miss deeply www.gq.com/story/shane-...

This final post from Kaleb Horton is very beautiful and hits hard. This is just so sad. RIP.

Tom Nichols, Jon Stewart, etc in 2024: "it's too early to call them fascists" Trump regime in 2025: "it is now illegal terrorism to call us fascists" Funny how the time window on that worked

Gonna wrap it up here. Will presumably soon be more CNN trucks than protesters. The war will not be televised. Mainly because it doesn't exist 😅

Big elections in Moldova tomorrow which will decide the country’s future direction. Lots of interference from Russia. The pro-European PAS are ahead in the polling but the Putin-friendly “Patriotic” bloc are not far behind.

#Bluejays WIN!!! One more win tomorrow and we are AL East Champs !! 🥳😎

Has anyone collected the vile statements congressional Republicans have made calling for the murder, assault, deportation and/or imprisonment of their colleagues? Seems like there’s a lot of this coming straight from the GOP but the nation is more focused on ordinary liberals on social media.

Last chance to vote! naturecanada.ca/enjoy-nature...

Republican state rep calls for Democratic congresswoman's execution.

OK BLUE JAYS It all comes down to the final day of the regular season to decide the AL East. A Jays win or Yankees loss tomorrow = Toronto wins the decision.
