I'm still so angry that the reduced residential speed pilot here in Winnipeg went for 40 km/h on select streets instead of 30. My short, 4-block street has 3 schools on it and they still made it 40 instead of just 30 so it's consistent with the school zone daytime speeds. And I say this as someone/1

cw: suicidal ideation

@apnews.com deep dive on Dilley, TX detention center. After a protest when Liam Ramos(bunny ears boy) was there, guards took away drawing materials and ordered everyone to stay inside.

That triggered 13 y.o. girl, who had calmed herself by drawing, to engage in self harm.

Compare AOC's statement to Schumer's. We desperately need to push out those ancient ineffectual Dems in charge.

Trump targets SCOTUS for stochastic terror He knew what he was doing by bringing up justices' families.

New in PN: Trump targets SCOTUS for stochastic terror

"The rule seems to be that Trump can direct his violent minions at absolutely anyone & there will be no consequences and barely any comment. The grim takeaway is that even justices, w/ all their power & prestige, no longer live in a democracy."

If you're white and not watching closely, it's pretty easy to miss that we're living in a police state.

Make no mistake about it: we're living in a police state, and actions like this just reinforce that fact.

It’s a dark day in America when a sitting Member of Congress has to remind the president that Black people are not apes.

I stand with Al Green.

This is just beyond insane. I pray she doesn't get confirmed because it will lead to many more American deaths.

Overnight this aircraft completed its deportation trip to India. The migrant passengers were likely shackled for at least 59 hours.

I was talking to Seth Moulton's staff about that this week with regard to the Burlington ICE office. One thing they said was that closing an existing facility is really hard but preventing a new one from opening is comparatively easier. We have to stop these camps now while we have the chance.

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube.

As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

β€˜Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end. With tourism to the US under increasing strain, she says, β€˜If it can happen to me, i...

Why did ICE shackle a British tourist, a grandmother with no criminal record, who had all the correct papers, and lock her in a cell for SIX WEEKS??

Because ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone.

Eliminate this agency now.

The Kids Trump Sent to ICE’s Dilley Detention Center ProPublica went inside the immigrant detention center for families in Dilley, Texas. Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of...

Children are suffering in a for-profit prison.

Send them home. Abolish ICE. And ban private, for-profit prisons forever.

Words cannot express how disappointed I am with how much of a 180 Janice Lukes has done on what she supposedly values since being included in this mayor's inner circle.

And if you’re wondering β€œWhy is there a blob in the back?” Well, that’s where the first woman president was supposed to go. More than a century later, it remains unsculpted.

FYI, this donation site isn't really setup to allow donations from outside of the US. While it will lets you enter a different country, it still requires a state. :\
