For. Fuck. Sakes. And yet again, I will remind everyone that lawful access has *twice* been ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of Canada, and that the Liberals fought against it for fifteen years before Carney came in and suddenly they were in favour of it.

Scoop: DHS ousted multiple privacy officers at CBP after they questioned orders to purposely mislabel records about government surveillance to prevent their release under FOIA.

Three rich Israeli-American brothers, who partied at Trump's White House, who sold property to Jared and Ivanka, who are mentioned in the Epstein files, are convicted of rape and sex trafficking. Prosecutors say they raped at least 60 women. MAGA's main goal is to legalize this.

this is good journalism by the guardian, which will be ignored by their politics people - the ones who go on tv and the radio. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Merger to take drone firm public is latest business move by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr as father is in White House

It's been 65 days since Donald Trump invaded a sovereign state, abducted its leader, and declared the US will "run" the state indefinitely It's been 9 days since Trump launched a war (his word) against Iran without congressional approval No House member has filed articles of impeachment for either

I took Via Rail from Toronto to Ottawa and back. Not a big deal, you would think, except it took up two days of my life and cost me hundreds of dollars on top of the ticket. lloydalter.substack.com/p/train-brai...

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

WH press secretary Karoline Leavitt tells Fox News that a military draft is on the table.

No matter how little you think of Bill Maher, you're overestimating him.

This is hilarious. AI underwater by 20 points and The Democratic Party is 22 under. BTW this is polling registered voters from both parties

Even if the Iran War ends tomorrow, a six-month oil price shock and likely worldwide recession is already baked in. That's unavoidable now. The damage that they're doing now is about the six months after that.

Americans aren't facing a democratic collapse. We’re living in its aftermath | Eric Reinhart

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more. They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.

So we have yet another incident where a US citizen was shot and killed by ICE, and the official ICE account differs from bodycam footage. This is the story that took nearly a year to break and now we have the bodycam footage.

Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic

If you're reading a story that said the Iranian ship that was torpedoed was unarmed, you are reading complete bullshit. Warships are always armed. It's sort of their thing. The entire point of naval exercises is to practice firing the guns and missiles and blowing stuff up. The "unarmed" story

THREAD: We just released a tool that allows you to search billions of dollars in wealth, ties to the most powerful companies in the country, and details of the personal finances of President Trump and over 1,500 of his appointees. Here’s how it works 1/

SCOOP: Proton Mail provided Swiss authorities with payment data that the FBI then used to determine who was allegedly behind an anonymous account affiliated with the Stop Cop City movement in Atlanta, according to a court record reviewed by 404 Media.

A message from Brian McGinnis, the firefighter and Marine veteran who was forcibly removed and injured by officers during his anti-war protest at the Capitol

Update: my reply team have now determined to the origin of “planter’s wife is Jewish” thing to be the neonazi website vdare, and apparently reported nowhere else. bsky.app/profile/pymu...

this is a fucking dril tweet

The mayor needs to yank Shelley Carroll off the police board today. This is bananas. Here’s a gift link. Are there any elected officials in Toronto standing up for residents? She must go. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

I wish I had thought of the idea of having kids Google stuff for two hours and charging 40,000 dollars. Their parents would be like “so they know more about different Five Nights at Freddy’s characters but not what World War 1 is” and I’d be like “yes thats the knowledge they’ll need for the future”

Absolutely fucking disgraceful. Beyonds words how sycophantic and disgusting this is.

Senator rushes over to get unnecessarily involved in the Capitol police removing a protestor, injures him badly. This should be punishable but of course it won't be.

I haven't said anything about this before, bc in the grand scheme of horrors this only rates as an inconvenience, but since others are experiencing it: Just three days after CBP arrested me for filming them outside Broadview on 9/27, my TSA Pre & Global Entry were suspended—and so were my wife's.

You know, there's a couple of murders you might want to look into, MN prosecutor.

This case is a real fork in the road for this Trump Administration. The feds are trying to pin the injuring of a cop on all the protesters, even the ones who just showed up to set off fireworks on the residential street. Unclear how the jury is responding to that.

Trump admin can bet on a nuclear attack and then... make a killing. {rimshot}

Legendary graft

Kristi Noem refused to apologize for calling Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists after they were shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis.

As is their custom, Faine has here created a perfect thread to test reading comprehension. As is its custom, the population of Bluesky is failing miserably.

1/9: In the New York redistricting case, Justice Alito's justification for why #SCOTUS even had *jurisdiction* to issue a stay is based upon a remarkably misleading portrayal of the state court proceedings. I realize this is technical, but I wanted to write a short thread to explain the shadiness:

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

SCOTUS just blocked a state court ruling that required a new congressional seat in Staten Island. The NY court's ruling, upheld by a state appeal court, would have likely delivered a new congressional seat for Democrats. SCOTUS conservatives grant the stay: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

It's not every day I find myself rooting for shingles.

Government run entirely by racists and trolls.

“direct your anger at trump not the democrats” buddy you are severely underestimating the amount of anger i have available to me

If you measured Iranian citizen support for their government, it presumably jumped hugely upwards this morning, as is always the case when a country is attacked by foreigners.

In October 2024, the Georgia secretary of state’s office launched an investigation after receiving numerous reports from residents across several counties saying they’d received partially prefilled absentee ballot applications from Musk’s America PAC. trib.al/jzxMUxz

When we say no war but class war we mean that no one in Iran is poisoning our water or stealing our wages or kidnapping our neighbors. And the people who are? They're spending our money on killing Iranians

I hope the US Navy has still got that MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner for Trump to stand under.

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.
