There are many rumors going around about a large operation targeting Haitians in Springfield whose TPS is going to be stripped from them next week; we do not know if they are true, but the community is preparing nonetheless. Notably, expect court decisions ASAP in pending cases to save TPS.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

I’m assuming that there is no statute of limitations for this cosplaying nazi clown?

The Globe's editorial this morning is a list of all the Canadian military personnel who died in Afghanistan. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit...

I am still thinking about how Alex Pretti was out there directing traffic, waving cars through. A instinctive, quintessentially Dad Response to any kind of commotion happening on the block—to go out and help a little, in a small way. To make sure no one gets unnecessarily hurt.

Timberwolves hold a moment of silence for Alex Pretti

I talked about Alex Pretti in church today. Most of the comments afterwards were, ‘When is this going to end?’ The Trump administration’s plan to destabilize all parts of life both domestic and foreign is right out of Putin’s playbook. This doesn’t get put away after Trump. It’s been unleashed.

As the predator-rapist-felon king of trolls wages war on a nation & its people, ICEstapo brute squads wreak havoc, bring terror—murder!—to our streets— God knows what abuses in their concentration camps. The regime will not curb the devils of its foulest natures. Reject. Refuse. Resist. Repudiate.

The term martyr means “witness.” The man was murdered for bearing witness, literally bearing it, not arms but a camera. Murdered for seeing.

He was filming him with the phone in his right hand. Hard to threaten anyone with a gun in that position.

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

I read a comment regarding #Trump in #Davos that said, "That wasn't a speech. That was an X-Ray."

To add one more layer to this. About 10 years ago my formidable former Globe and Mail colleague Renata D'Aliesio took on a mission to document suicide following the Afghanistan mission. In some initial reporting she found 54 Canadian soldiers and veterans had died from suicide. +

"School district officials in Columbia Heights, Minnesota, say their sense of security is shaken and their hearts shattered after four students from the district have recently been taken by officers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement."

Can you imagine being a teacher who devotes your life to educating and protecting students only to have them taken by the federal government to a detention centre? Where is the morality of the so-called ‘Christian nation’? These poor educators. That poor family. That poor little boy.

Just saw on KARE 11 that this boy was sent to a detainment facility in Texas and that his family didn't know his whereabouts for almost 24 hours.

TRUMP: honk honk honk, I'm a big goose. everyone tells me whenever I enter a room, that's the biggest goose I've ever seen and I say yes. I'm a big goose. in a good way. a lot of Somalians are small stupid gooses but I'm a big goose BBC NEWS: a disciplined Trump sticks to the script on the economy

Pastors working for ICE Sex workers running mutual aid for immigrants Which one looks more like Jesus???

Dunno what to say to americans other than the world knows, its too late and it will take multiple generations for your country to be trusted again. If ever.

Let the historical record note that the business elites at Davos repeatedly laughed during a fascist speech that declared intent to annex another country’s land, promoted election conspiracies and railed against the free press

Friends of mine know these people and say they are the best.

I dislike Michael O’Leary, but I do find it funny that Elon thinks he is going to win a war of words with an Irishman.

Me to my American friends after seeing the Carney speech

This poor woman lived the entire meme almost verbatim: "Would you believe if I told you I voted for this man? ... I never thought the man I put in office would come for my family."

According to Bishop Andrew Waldo, who was a priest colleague of mine in the Episcopal Diocese of MN and is now retired there, this terrorized man, ChongLy Thao, is a cousin of one of the priests at the Hmong-majority Episcopal congregation in the Twin Cities. Oh, and Thao is indeed a U.S. citizen. ⚓️

Every day is somehow worse than the one before it.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Winterlight (any bird highlighted by winter sunlight) it was a tough choice, as I do a lot of winter shooting. Thought I'd go with something a little different than my usual style. Rough-legged Hawk enjoying a frigid sunrise. #birds #photography

These are the icy mountains of Pluto. It took 9 years to get these magnificent images… and 4.8 billion kilometers.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Do Canadian MPs actually connect with the public on X? I looked at RTs and views for every tweet* sent by Liberal MPs yesterday Out of 46 tweets, 21 Liberal MPs racked up a combined 475 retweets 34% had zero RTs. Only 17% got more than 10 RTs 3 tweets accounted for over half of all engagement

They have quite an operation going. www.mprnews.org/episode/2026...
