From the start it seemed to me that the purpose for such an organization — an ill-trained, under-managed, uniformless band of masked enthusiastic sociopaths — was to get some of them shot at by 2nd amendment enthusiasts so that a "war on the police" could be cited as a reason to declare martial law.

BREAKING: ICE killed a Minnesota woman in broad daylight & there must be accountability. But when I moved to subpoena all records & footage related to this murder, Republicans voted it down. They've never cared about law & order or keeping our communities safe.

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University. (And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.) /

There’s a special kind of grief many of us are feeling tonight. Because it didn’t have to be like this.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

I know today’s heavy. Sharing this video of Barbara’s friend absolutely losing her shit to cleanse the timeline

The National Post is owned by a right wing American hedge fund. They are the official opposition to all things Canadian. While US governors and tourism operators cry out about the Canadian boycott, the Post promotes the few quislings who would sell our country out. A parcel of rogues in a nation.

WOMEN are doing the vast majority of the front-line organizing against ICE, the vast majority of the front-line reporting, the vast majority of the legal observing, the vast majority of the care work, the vast majority of the corking and safety volunteering. It's so often women who are being killed.

Warmington and the Sun are absolutely despicable His take is not only factually wrong, it is dangerous and pro-fascist

Renee Good was peacefully sitting in her car. Ashli Babbitt was aggressively lunging at a police officer in a threatening way. Guess which one conservatives think had it coming when she got shot? They don't even try to be coherent, much less principled.

So, this happened today. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I know what the policies say are irrelevant, because ICE has became a poorly-trained and intentionally-violent goon squad, but trying to suggest that police have a responsibility to kill you because you're doing a cautious third-point turn in a panic is fucking insane. www.dhs.gov/sites/defaul...

Tim Walz is mobilizing the MN National Guard, and reminds Minnesotans that the guard "is OURS - our teachers and our neighbors." He asks Minnesotans to respect them. "They're there to protect you and your constitutional rights. They don't wear masks."

"Meanwhile, witnesses said a doctor was at the scene and tried to help the woman who had been shot, but the ICE agents refused to let the doctor in to help. Up to 15 minutes later, an ambulance arrived but was blocked by ICE vehicles that had occupied the street." www.fox9.com/news/minneap...

Walz: "Do you have no decency? We have someone dead in their car for no reason whatsoever. I don't want to be right about this, but I said if they do this they're gonna create a chaotic situation where someone innocent is gonna get killed. And they did it."

Ogles: "It's important that we have a stake in Greenland, that they are quite frankly a protectorate of the US. They've been in relationship with Denmark - that needs to end. We've spilled more blood protecting Greenland than the Danes... we are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere"

Left-leaning Americans on Bluesky go apeshit when I say this, but I'm saying it again. I get it, YOU didn't vote for him. But we non-Americans don't really care. The rest of the world has no legal standing to stop him. Only you Americans can. He's your guy, your responsibility. Do something. Please.

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me" you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

"Lowering costs". Are you guys serious? Canadian civilians are learning how to shoot guns and fly drones and forming civil defence groups and sharing tips on guerilla warfare in our largest newspapers. A majority now consider the US an enemy nation. Not rival. Enemy. You're way past "costs".

Nothing the Trump administration does or directs should ever get the benefit of doubt. NEVER.

I wish this weren't true, but we now have take his threats about Greenland more seriously, and start to talk about the world-changing mistake if he chose to go to war with Europe - which would essentially guarantee the rest of this century is China's.

I just left the Venezuela briefing. It's worse than you thought. Oil company executives seem to know more about Trump's secret plan to "run" Venezuela than the American people. We need public Senate hearings NOW.

It appears ICE murdered someone in cold blood today and their plan is — per usual — to create a fog of lies so the killer does not face justice. We simply can't let that happen. The shooter has to be arrested and so does Bovino. They can't just kill people on the street.

New statistics show food inflation rates vary in areas across Canada--reminder the Big grocers/manufacturers are the ones who keep increasing the prices and in some areas more than others. #Canada www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

lord, give me the strength to not argue at people who basically agree with me

There is no legal justification, whatsoever, to use military force against a NATO ally like Greenland. If any military member participates in this without congressional authorization, they are following illegal orders.

Many things can be true at the same time: * The US government and Western media generally systematically lie about socialist-leaning leaders and smear them as authoritarians even when they're not * Maduro was an actual authoritarian * The US intervention was wrong, and rooted racism & imperialism

This is what happens when untrained ICE agents who meet the lowest possible standards are sent to play action hero. A U.S. citizen was shot & killed by ICE in Minneapolis. 📌 Eyewitnesses, including a city councilman, say police shot the person in the head. That person is now dead. Read that again

This is one of the most mortifying things I’ve ever seen

Donald Trump just drove a stake through Alberta's pipeline dreams. How long will it take for the Canadian oil and gas executives who supported him to realize they got Trumped? #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/01/06/o...

This is why non-scientists need to stay out of science policy decisions.

22 months of pregnancy – the longest of any mammal – and Zongoloni's seemed to stretch on forever. But Zigi was worth the wait. She was notorious for trying to 'kidnap' friends' babies. Now, at last, she has a son of her own. sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/n...

You’re not permitted to say “cis” on Twitter but you are going to receive concierge service there if you want to threaten women and girls

Walz: "They're unwilling to stand with Melissa Hortman's children. And I want to tell you this: for those legislators who went and shed crocodile tears at her funeral, shame on you. Shame on you. Her children are asking you to do one thing in her name: tell the president to stop doing this."

As usual, a simplistic solution that lacks detail and planning from our beloved Leader of the Official Opposition. But it makes for a great talking point, amirite? APPROVE THE PIPELINE. VERB THE NOUN. Still the exact same guy who lost the election 🤦. #cdnpoli

This very innocent looking young woman is simply expressing her opinion on the street. She is no threat to anyone. And yet she is hauled away by the cops. Next time Jordan Peterson starts lecturing you abour free speech, tell him to shut his lying mouth.

This is Kylo. He's Dominican, so he learned to dance before he could walk. 12/10 impressive moves (TT: chantyyyy_)

I will be in Nuuk in the coming weeks to officially open Canada’s consulate and mark a concrete step in strengthening our engagement in support of Denmark’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, including Greenland.

Big: Wyoming supreme court just struck down abortion ban. And get this: The reason is a constitutional amendment codifying a right to make health care decisions... passed in 2012 by conservatives who thought it'd screw Obamacare! Quite the backfire. We explained this lawsuit a few years back:

Just learned that my daughter thought the lyrics were “A pinball wizard’s got such insufferable rizz” and I’d like to submit an update.

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, its Wamata and Nyambeni racing back for their bedtime bottles after a day at bush school. Trunks flopping and tails pointed, these impatient babies love to feel the wind beneath their ears! Meet orphaned elephants we are caring for: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.o...

NEW: Premier Doug Ford says he will fight against an order to hand over government-related calls made on his personal cellphone, arguing it would make private citizen information public — something the court ruling explicitly protects against. #OnPoli globalnews.ca/news/1159987...

US Dairy Subsidies: $15B-$19B annually. Subsidies significantly increase US dairy farmers' revenues, sometimes covering over 40% of their income or production costs Canadian Dairy Subsidies: $0 annually. Even small family owned Dairy farms are profitable,making our food chain stronger and healthier

Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation's statement: "Alberta’s secession cannot happen without First Nation consent to change a party to Treaty No. 8. Consent, not consultation, is required before the question of secession is delegated from a party to the treaty to the individuals...” www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I actually appreciate the bluntness of this type of statement, simply because it is totally unambiguous. There is no alternate way to interpret this, no fence sitting, no both-siding. Now, everybody pick a side because it is all very real at this point.

On this day in 1959, Richard and Mildred Loving were convicted of interracial marriage in Virginia, given a one-year suspended sentence, and banished from the state.

Folks, I am refusing to release my cell phone records because I am pertecting you from something that the court has already said won't ever happen anyway!

Measures need to be taken by Europe and Canada to remove US bases across Greenland and Europe, and to flip law abiding US generals, governors, senators to the alliance. The invasion of Greenland must be made to be the most costly decision the US has ever made in its history.
