The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape. After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

HRM Call to Action! ☎️ 💻📨 Phone/email script below ⬇️ Andy Fillmore wants to take away dedicated bus lanes by opening them up to “high occupancy vehicles” (HOV). That’s any vehicle with just 2+ people! 🚗🛻🚚🚙🚗🛻🚚💨 globalnews.ca/news/1166132... Whether you drive, bike, or use transit, this is bad news.

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

On February 18th you can go to city hall and tell them what you think of this and more. They should hear to their face, how harmful they are. Their duplicities should be called out. Defund the police.

Local folks are organizing to speak against these cuts. Contact @terriclarke.bsky.social or @npilon.bsky.social to join us on Slack. There are two opportunities left to speak (in-person or via Zoom): this Wednesday and March 4; and there’s always the option to email and call councillors.

This rules. I love how delighted they all look!

The list of things council is considering cutting in order to keep taxes “flat” is insane. (From Sam Austin’s website). Call your councillor and tell them you won’t support them if they support these cuts.

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

It takes a lot of courage to write and share an obituary this honest, in the hopes it is of help to others. My heart goes out to Erica and everyone who knew her. www.eastcoastmemorial.ca/obituaries/E...

Happy Birthday to Frederick Douglass who didn’t know his birthday because he was born into slavery so he chose February 14 as his birthday.

See also Indigenous kids at Canadian residential schools. The evil you'll be ashamed of for a long time is happening right now, America.

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.

He got out after 3 months in an ICE gulag.

Can we not just get decent public transport in this country?

London: High Court says ban on Palestine Action is unlawful.

Friends! The New School has cancelled one of its most popular graduate courses, Global Soccer and World Politics. We want to host this course for @resistanceschool.bsky.social ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Interested? Fill the interest form here! www.resistancestudiesseries.com/worldcupwait...

So the Province is blaming Ottawa....again....the Province is supposed to fund it 50/50 #NovaScotia will miss March 31 deadline for $10/day average daycare cost Education minister says costs have increased and more help is needed from Ottawa www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

A move that will manage to make productivity and traffic worse.

Yes, but also a lot of city/provincial thinking around transportation is basically "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" "Cars stuck in traffic? Just need to make it easier to drive" in a loop forever. The end result is that we are broke and stuck in traffic.

This is just like UBI. Every study shows it works and is more cost effective but societies‘ hatred of poor people means we‘d rather pay more to make them suffer.

As a compromise, this game should be played at a neutral site in Europe. Preferably The Hague.

EXCLUSIVE: A Ukrainian dad escaped Vladimir Putin’s drone and missile attacks back home only to be grabbed by a band of laughing ICE stooges in a Walmart parking lot in Minneapolis.

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

To paraphrase, when human laws conflict with the laws of nature, the laws of nature will not yield.

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

Let the words “family concentration camp” sink in.

Absolutely horrific. Keep the people of Tumbler Ridge in your thoughts tonight.

Sorry to be Radical Left but I don't think we should put people who haven't committed a crime, and aren't even accused of committing a crime, into any sort of "Detention"

In light of recent residential school denialist events in BC, I was invited to give this talk for my alma mater, Simon Fraser University, outlining the substance and strategy of denialism and attacks on truth and reconciliation. The event was recorded: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnfE...

Council endorsed bus rapid transit (BRT) in the 2016 Moving Forward Together Transit plan, the 2017 Integrated Mobility Plan, and the 2020 Rapid transit strategy. This is Mike Savage’s legacy as mayor. Lots of plans, little action.

Wow spoiler alert: the biggest cause of bus delay in Halifax is car volumes

Conservatives pretending they enjoyed Kid Rock’s SB Halftime show.

Congrats to all of those who are still trying to justify traumatizing a 5 year old.

The charges? She wrote an op ed critical of the genocide of Palestinians.

An immigration court dropped its case against Turkish graduate student Rumeysa Ozturk, a little less than a year after federal agents arrested her on a street near Tufts University

This is absolutely heartrending: www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

Does the Mayor have a single good idea?

Just finished reading “Radium Girls”, and this absolutely tracks.

"prohibition in the united states" has this time lapse map that switches from folksy banjo music to ominous industrial sci-fi for the 15 seconds when alcohol was illegal nationwide

If anybody does home brewing and could use any of those 750 ml bottles that home brewers use, I have several dozen looking for a good home. If not, I’ll recycle them. Just need them out of my basement.

I suspect the Venn diagram of people hating on this female athlete for supporting LGBTQ rights and the people who claim they want to “protect women’s sport” has a lot of overlap.

Could they not have paid more people to show up?

hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

LRT: the fact that anybody has the nerve to claim that Louis CK was a “victim” of “cancel culture” when in fact it is his victims that were pushed out of comedy by his horrendous sexual behaviour is beyond me.

I think often of the women in the Louis CK story—how they all left comedy and never went back, but he’s still going. It’s everywhere and it’s such a loss for them and for us—for things they’ll never make that we’ll never see.

Over the past two weeks I've begun to realize that rich people only started funding chatbots once they could no longer email Jeffrey Epstein

> asked what supported probable cause, the agent cited the woman speaking Spanish

“Molliver said the federal government may not deport them to Ecuador, their home country. Instead, the family could apply for asylum in a third country” and Canada has a chance to do the softest power move right now.

Why is Prendergast still on the pitch. He’s been dreadful.
