The only details these people care about in situations like this is the race and gender of the perpetrators The reason they are fixated on those details is because they are bigots

Things we have to stop blaming for the actions of evil people: - menopause - PMS/menses - psychosis - dementia - ADHD - drugs - alcohol - prescriptions None of these diagnoses make people evil. There is no drug that makes people evil. At most, some of these things can make people less inhibited.

Before The Washington Post layoffs came down, a group of wealthy D.C. locals approached CEO Will Lewis with a proposal. @passantino.bsky.social has the details in his Saturday @status.news column: www.status.news/p/washington...

BIG UPDATE: Francisco’s lawyer Yanni Nicolidakis-Mustafa says "BC Cancer has agreed to treat Francisco on an urgent basis… He is still waiting for a bed to open up for him, but they have taken note of the urgency of the matter and are moving quickly to get him into treatment.” @thetyee.ca Impact!!!

New: Immigration agents have shot a dozen people since Sept--yet police are often skipping any investigation After agents near Chicago killed a man, an officer asked if chief who would investigate. The answer: “You’re not going to investigate a federal officer” www.propublica.org/article/why-...

The chair of the first law firm that bent the knee to Trump’s extortion and agreed to do pro bono work for him is featured in the Epstein Files, you say? Huh.

the $75 million Jeff Bezos set on fire for that Melania propaganda piece could have funded most independent newsrooms for literally decades

it's wild how a building as big as the BC Supreme Court in downtown Vancouver, with so many people passing through it, can have one (1) public source of drinking water, and it currently does not have water

They also take a lot of pride in menacing school patrols. Parents who are outside in hi-viz vests are seen as ideological opponents. If they see patrols, they circle the schools. They also often conspicuously photograph parents to try and intimidate them in the same way they do rapid responders.

“20 people unconscious each night” in Trail, B.C., as veterinary sedative medetomidine gains foothold in illicit opioid supply. Significantly stronger than xylazine, can cause cardiac/respiratory depression and deep prolonged sedation. vancouver.citynews.ca/2026/01/29/b...

B.C.’s drug decriminalization pilot ends with a whimper. The three-year trial that removed criminal penalties for possessing personal amounts of illicit substances formally ends Saturday. I talk to Sherrill Sutherland about it on The Decibel. www.theglobeandmail.com/podcasts/the...

“Did you do anything to refresh your memory in order to testify meaningfully today?” asked the judge. At a hearing re DULF's constitutional challenge, a senior Health Canada official struggled to reconcile government claims with past statements on safe supply, reports @godfrey.bsky.social:

"shocking and inappropriate" to think about climate change when u could think instead about sweet, sweet oil

"allegations that he holds a liberal/pro-climate change bias"

"first of its kind *in Canada*" is doing a lot of work the original paper by david nutts team in the UK was wayyyy back in 2010 after a decade of toxic drug supply deaths, maybe it's time to retire folding all harms together

How do you create a regulatory pathway so Canada can implement a non-medical model of safer supply to save lives in the middle of a public health crisis? Not even the guy who was No. 2 at Health Canada could think of a way. The fed gov makes drug laws, and can’t think of a way to get around them.

“Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive - because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority.”

“Ken Sim’s Rivals Could Deliver Him a Win” Ken Sim won’t replicate the popularity that swept him into office in 2022. But the Vancouver mayor has carved out a political lane that could still carry him in October’s election. #vanpoli My latest in @thetyee.ca👇 thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

The internal polling that conservatives are seeing on this has to be insane

Here's the full video, btw: state and local police violating first amendment rights in the bitter cold while ICE quite literally shows their whole ass

A beautiful essay by Jenessa Joy Klukas.

If your takeaway from this is that the normal police are consistently “better” in these situations I fear you need a wedgie

They’re killing observers because they are threatened by them. the work these people are doing is profoundly brave. They’re all heroes.

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

the weird thing about The Carney Speech is how comfortable he seems to be with saying "yeah the 'rules' in the international order were one sided and favoured us, but it's bad now because we are the target of imperialism"

#MedSky “I got COVID in hospital. My kidneys started to back up. Everything seemed to converge at the same time,” he continued. Can we please do something about infection control of airborne disease. People are being hurt by healthcare. People are avoiding care.

Please watch this clip in the context of ICE and please pay particular close attention to the surveillance part. #cdnpoli

feels both depressing and inevitable, and the thing i find most fascinating about it is the decision and then commitment to performing wild enthusiasm anyhow. you hate this, and yet you understand the very real monetary benefit of championing it www.outsports.com/2026/1/22/24...

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

"[M]asked agents apprehended 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos in his driveway on Tuesday...[the agent] led him to the door and directed him to knock on the door asking to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home, essentially using a 5-year-old as bait.”

There's a lot funny about this WaPo editorial about Canada "cozying up" to China, but I laughed out loud at Carney being the "first prime minister to visit China since 2017." So, the first PM since the last PM. And the PM before him, and the PM before him. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Minneapolis schools are closing because non-white families can't go outside and Senate Dems are like "ok but you gotta buy some body cameras for ICE"

Federal immigration agents forced open a door and detained a U.S. citizen in his Minnesota home at gunpoint without a warrant, then led him out onto the streets in his underwear in subfreezing conditions, according to his family and videos reviewed by The Associated Press.
