He knew what he was getting himself into. Media needs to stop playing along with this narrative that they went there innocently.

Conservative MP searches for โ€˜antifaโ€™ in federal government, Canadian Armed Forces - National | Globalnews.ca Federal departments and the Canadian Armed Forces must answer by April how many members of anti-fascist groups work for the public service and the military.

First Jamil, now Genius (the most hilariously misnamed person ever). Pierre is going to have to explain why, if thereโ€™s so much daylight between his party and Trump thereโ€™s so little daylight between his own MPs and the demented orange louse. #cdnpoli globalnews.ca/news/1168850...

Also, itโ€™s never too late in life to sign up for a learn-to-curl, which most local curling clubs hold. You can curl well into your golden years and there are a variety of adaptive devices available to assist with many physical limitations. Itโ€™s a really social sport - great way to meet people!

The Mexican president (whose obsequiousness toward trump is becoming a little nauseating) says thereโ€™s โ€œno riskโ€ of violence to people coming to Mexico for #FIFA WC games.
Thereโ€™s always some risk but in fairness, I think the risk of violence to visitors for #WorldCup games is greater in the US.

Honestly, Bum Buford should have to list CP24 as a campaign donor. The amount of free advertising they give that walking thumb is remarkable. And itโ€™s just based on being the laziest of โ€œjournalistsโ€. #topoli

This morningโ€™s โ€œThe Morningโ€ from the @nytimes.com includes a line about the arrest of the former Prince saying, โ€œitโ€™s kind of unbelievable we were once ruled by these people.โ€

Just a smidgen of self-awareness is too much to ask of Americans, huh? Like, Sam Sifton, take a look around you.

I actually donโ€™t like either Canadian team (pretty sure I posted here, when Jacobs won the Olympic trials, that Iโ€™d need to figure out another country to cheer for; have never liked Homan) but JFC, if you touch a rock in a way that impacts how the shot plays out, it will be noticeable.

Maybe it would if you didnโ€™t know curling and therefore didnโ€™t understand how rocks react to that level of touch.

Hilarious to me how many rock release experts we suddenly have.

Thomas Massie

I am not suicidal. I eat healthy food. The brakes on my car and truck are in good shape. I practice good trigger discipline and never point a gun at anyone,  including myself. There are no deep pools of water on my farm and Iโ€™m a pretty good swimmer.

INBOX: Rep. Thomas Massie, who has enraged Trump for his insistence on blocking tariffs and releasing the Epstein files according to the law, just issued what is widely known among Chinese dissidents as "a declaration of no suicidal intent" (ไธ่‡ชๆฎบ่ฒๆ˜Ž), a sign of extreme distress.

John Schneider was asked if Kazuma Okamoto has landed yet, because heโ€™s expected at the #BlueJaysโ€™ complex today:

Not sure whatโ€™s happening with Team Homan but now is NOT the time to suddenly forget how to call and execute. #curlng

It bears repeating that Tom Homan is a fucking psycho and Greg Bovino's exile means functionally nothing when it comes to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.)  If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

This is actually the scene in a lot of non-government offices now as well. You carry all your stuff around in a ridiculously stuffed backpack and hope you can find somewhere to sit when you get there. Itโ€™s awful.

If on one hand, an extremely talented award winning musical artist is asked to play a high profile show and on the other hand, a bunch of racist pieces of shit say he should not play the show, it is not controversial, TorStar. There are not two equally reasonable sides. Itโ€™s racism vs not racism.

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.

It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too
