ICE is populated by oafs so oafish that they would flunk the physical to get to be cops.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

If you also work with young men and are feeling some-kinda-way about the Manosphere's influence, you should also come to this virtual event that @whiteribbon.bsky.social is hosting in November. It'll be focused on preventing misogynist radicalization with boys and young men!

No words. Not one. This is just outright sadism. My god, America, you SUCK.

This is actually a very, very long list of receipts — well-cited list of everything Poilievre has done for years, & nefarious parties/methods he has employed & assented to in his efforts to, well, wrangle control of Canada, I guess. It's a link you bookmark for arguing with this asshole's fans.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"

Top story on the BBC has the subhead "Erika Kirk thanks officials and Donald Trump after murder suspect Tyler Robinson was caught on Thursday after a 33-hour manhunt." He handed himself in. That's how he was "caught". The manhunt failed. How about we present the facts rather than make up a TV plot?

Under-appreciated part of @mark-carney.bsky.social's announcement yesterday: the intent to pursue a "Canadian sovereign cloud." In a digital world, digital sovereignty matters. thequantuminsider.com/2025/09/12/c...

Since Charlie Kirk was fatally shot, people on the left have been censored, punished, and targeted with more violence for telling the truth about Kirk's legacy. The cycle continues: mainstream whitewashing of violence begets more violence and the victims are blamed. spitfirenews.com/p/the-nation...

I'm sorry that Charlie Kirk got an American handshake, but it seems like there's a moral lesson in it. Be careful what you wish for something, something ...

A thing social media has enabled is that you can respond to an unimaginable horror about which you feel powerless (the continuing spread of political violence) with something manageable (smearing everyone on a small social site that you dislike).

The most basic way to put yourself in the shoes of a Canadian parent who had to explain the daily news out of America to their kids is to ask them “What if a country just stopped caring about people and said that all their problems were obviously their fault?”

Two kinds of people don’t get why we study religion: people who think religion is bad and not studying it will make it go away and people who think religion is good—but just their own—so keep your critical hands off it. Both are wrong about what religious studies is. (See first comments on op.)

I don't know. In the last 100 years, the number of people dying of old age has gone up significantly. I think eliminating vaccines could really bring those numbers down.
