thinking about Mr. Rogers "look for the helpers" quote and I see the helpers and the helpers are being shot in the fucking head

this is it. this is the level. this is the standard for democratic officials. anything less is intolerable.

“don’t give them what they want” they are manufacturing their justifications post-hoc. they are already doing what they want. you are not responsible for the actions of your oppressor. you are only responsible for keeping your neighbors safe and that will always be seen as defiance

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

All I see is federal agents getting violent with residents, over and over, while Democratic leaders repeatedly tell those residents to calm down and not do anything in response. This is not sustainable.

I don’t know why this is so hard for people but people you have to repeatedly call and beg to ask them to oppose murder in the streets will never really be on your side

“Kamala warned us!” Motherfucker, no she did not. Please stop this revisionist bullshit. She ran on signing into law more funding for DHS, and supporting ICE. Please focus on the people being murdered on the fucking streets by Trump’s personal military.

@dropsitenews.com has obtained a new video of the shooting. Audio in the video captures someone shouting, “He’s got a gun, he’s got a gun, he’s got a gun,” followed by another voice saying, “No the fuck I don’t,” immediately before the gunshots. www.jezebel.com/ice-agents-h...

It’s very important to grapple with this nuance. Because you have to connect it to this other hard truth. They have been doing this to Black people for decades. They told you it was “necessary”. And you believed them.

White people thought they could stop this by just standing in the way while being white. Nah. You with us now. You’re expendable. They will have someone kneel on your neck until you perish. Then say it was your fault. Welcome.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

I'm going to push back here this is exactly what they want expanding and escalating acceptable state violence to include white protesters has been a mission of both parties its why dem leadership can't meaningfully push back against this; they don't have the high ground because they're dirty, too

Canadians know monopolies are driving up prices. A public option for groceries would give people a real alternative and bring costs down immediately. It’s affordable, practical, and within reach. Read our plan for Public Options: https://avilewis.link/public_options

It’s time. I want the see Steve Kerr’s Warriors and Minneapolis’ Timberwolves agree that they simply cannot play this game tonight. A strike in solidarity with the besieged city and its murdered and abducted residents.

Doesn’t it make you crazy? Doesn’t it turn your blood to fucking gasoline?

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

Hi Canadian Bluesky, did you know Save On grocery, auto, etc oligarch Jim Pattison is selling his Hanover Virginia property to ICE for a detention facility? Here's the report, next post in thread is his businesses you may wish to consider boycotting FOREVER www.wric.com/news/local-n...

I hope it's not lost on anyone that the exact same motherfuckers on the Canadian right who spent decades wielding the idea of Canadian Patriotism like a cudgel, talking about "real Canadians", accusing every opponent of "hating Canada", are now pivoting to a platform of literal treason

The irony of everyone fawning over how Mark Carney is 'standing up' for Canada is that he is simultaneously eroding the few institutions that actually distinguish the Canadian state from the US, and those which theoretically could be used to shield Canadians from the disaster area to the south.

*some people call me Maurice voice* cuz I'm a skeeter, deleter a bluesky poster...

➡️ And if you haven’t already, join the Canadian Labour Congress’s call on Carney’s Liberal government to stop attacking workers’ right to strike and bargain collectively by removing Section 107 from the Canada Labour Code: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

➡️ Join 2SLGBTQQIA+ rights advocates telling the federal government to uphold the Charter and the Canada Health Act, and stop Danielle Smith’s anti-trans attacks on essential healthcare for youth: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

➡️ Join the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations’ call on the Liberal government to reverse its huge cut to vital student financial assistance and to stop neglecting essential investment in postsecondary education: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

More and more we’re seeing human rights violations and rollbacks to essential public programs by politicians who’d like more than anything to shield themselves from democracy. Want to make your voice heard? Sign my sponsored petitions and tell them we’ve had enough:🧵

— Israel kills 3 journalists, including CBS contributor — AFP, the other impacted outlet, condemns killing & calls for investigation — CBS doesn't, instead peddles Israel's claim that they were targeting a group with "a drone affilliated with Hamas" Inside the Bari Weiss-led CBS response:

So what is the point of all this? 1) to point out that it's not hyperbole to suggest Alberta will do whatever it takes to destroy Canada 2) that there's very little point in appeasement like building pipelines, and the real way to fight Alberta's greed is to kill oil and gas as quickly as possible.

You might say "but they aren't the MAJORITY." No, I'd call them a plurality. Polling says 20% vote to separate, but an additional 20% support the same party as those nutters because they don't want to hurt their bottom line. THAT'S Alberta - the guy screaming Paki AND the people beside us who shrug.

I was born and raised in Alberta. Lived in Edmonton and Calgary. I've stayed in Strathmore, High River, Claresholm, Medicine Hat, Red Deer, Fort Mac, Jasper, Banff, Black Diamond and more. When I talk about Alberta, I know what I'm talking about. Alberta - enough of it to matter - hates Canada.

Solidarity with the people of Minnesota, challenging the cold-hearted cruelty of ICE with the fire of mass action. Let this general strike be a turning point in the fight against Trump's impunity and authoritarianism! We’re taking inspiration from your courage.

1/ As the people of Minneapolis rise up against ICE, it's painful and shameful that Canadian companies are selling armoured vehicles to Trump's masked militia and providing tech support to the dept of Homeland Security.

Someone should write a story tallying all the times that Poilievre, Smith and other conservative politicians compared Alberta vs BC drug poisonings using false numbers. Here’s what was actually going on:

If you want to know what people mean when they say Democrats are "controlled opposition," rather than whipping votes against ICE funding, Hakeem Jeffries struck a deal with Republicans to allow Democrats to feign outrage at ICE while still funding the spending package.

ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement. "I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish. Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature. Minneapolis, MN

when the big dumper finally croaks we get one day to party and the very next day we need to tool up with melee weapons and chase every one of these ghouls down

People sometimes wonder why more and more sports talk guys are going into politics and I think it's a natural transition because Sports Talk Gasbag is one of the only non-political media jobs where you can just phone it in and openly lie about the thing you're covering and completely get away w it.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Great seeing so many Christian leaders, along with other religious leaders, speaking out for human dignity, rights, and respect in Minnesota—"whatever you did for one of the least of these..."—while America is run by power-abusing "Christians" who stand for violence, money, and cruelty to strangers.

damn, Flex this Too Short and Erick Sermon jammie 🔥🔥🔥

it takes a generous, thoughtful person to archive and distribute cool, obscure shit for free, and Jamo from Let The Brainz Blog is one of those people tonight I'm getting into this Hot 97 Funkmaster Flex tape from 1996:

inescapable conclusion is we have no laws, just cops

Opinion: Heated Rivalry, a show which wouldn't exist without CanCon laws, shows Canadian content doesn't need CanCon laws

Or, Heated Rivalry only exists because of CanCon requirements. Otherwise CTV/Bell/Crave would have just imported another American show. Just because it's successful doesn't mean that it isn't a product of the ecosystem it was created in.

Signs about the history of slavery in the U.S. and the 9 people George Washington enslaved are being removed right now at the President’s House Site in Philadelphia, across from Independence Hall, months after the Trump administration threatend to do so. How far we have not come in 250 years.

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed. Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.

underrated aspect of tending bar up north was American tourists wouldn't bother to change their cash to Canadian and then start harumphing when they were informed it would be taken at par the era of people clapping like seals for American money was ending and it made them confused and angry
