We are deeply concerned by reports that military commanders are framing the Iran war as “God’s plan” and invoking Armageddon in official briefings.
Service members swear an oath to the Constitution — not to any religion.
We are reviewing these reports and will demand accountability.
OMFG they think we are the dumbest people who ever lived.
I know I should be an old bitter Gen Xer complaining about the kids, but they're growing on me.
Each and every day.
No Crosby, no gold. Damn.
In the Toronto Star I write about Toronto Police's violent corruption scandal. Will it move the needle on police reform? It's a dramatic escalation in a long history of police intimidation, bullying their critics & broken trust. I argue 3 big things have to happen, including firing this chief.

Canada should be working with Cuba, not working against Cuba.
BREAKING: @OntarioPCParty convention today @fordnation was asked:
“Grassy Narrows is still being poisoned. Will you compensate Grassy Narrows for the ongoing mercury crisis?”
Ford said thanks to "my OPP" for clearing protesters.

The Bloor Street bike lane is still a snowdrift a week after the storm. At a time when Doug Ford is doing his best to erase bike lanes from the map, it would be nice if the City of Toronto treated them like they actually mattered.
Iginla and Cole Beaudoin would be a very nice return.
Then trade Nylander for the best young puck moving D you can get.
Clean house and tank hard to keep that top 5 pick.

President Trump's federal agents have been carrying out a brutal retribution campaign in Minnesota that’s violating the most basic freedoms of the United States minnesotareformer.com/2026/01/23/8...
Scenes of civil disobedience outside the Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, where protesters, including religious readers, blocked the road on a statewide day of “no work (except for emergency services), no school, and no shopping” on January 23. Photos by @lfelizleon.bsky.social
![NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreie7itpptx3xbxhpsnlaqmwk752h7pcrion5ija2apksljtax2adx4)

These are concentration camps. And these are the numbers they're comfortable sharing.
Minnesota appears to be in gear for a mass uprising. Unions, community organizations, faith leaders, and small businesses there are calling for a statewide day of “no work (except for emergency services), no school, and no shopping” on January 23 @lfelizleon.bsky.social reports 🧵1/7
I believe Avi Lewis is the leader the NDP needs right now.
He’s someone who gives us hope, unites our movements, and offers bold, inspiring solutions to tackle affordability while upholding human rights without qualification or exception. (1/2)
“No work, no school, no shopping." Major labor unions and community groups are calling for every Minnesotan to leverage their labor and economic power and refuse to show up to work on Friday, January 23. workdaymagazine.org/we-are-facin...
Doc Rivers, Steve Kerr, the T-Wolf fans, Sportsguy Nick Wright. More please. Let’s go sports world. You want to see brave? Be an immigrant walking to work in Minneapolis. That’s brave. You just have to say “state murder is bad.” It’s not fucking hard and it’s needed from all corners.
There have also been a high volume of in-custody deaths at detention centers across the country.
And who can forget the MULTIPLE deaths in California, as frightened workers were chased by federal agents during workplace raids. One farmworker fell to his death from a greenhouse during a raid on a farm. Another was hit by a car trying to evade a raid at Home Depot.
In September, federal immigration agents shot and killed Villegas González in Chicago.
Federal immigration agents have now shot and killed multiple people since Trump took office a year ago. Today alone marks the second deadly ICE shooting IN A WEEK. An off-duty shot and killed a 43-year-old father in CA on Dec. 31.
ICE agent shoots and murders woman in Minneapolis.
UN Charter Article 2(4) is a core principle of international law. It prohibits all states from the threat/use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any other state, banning war & coercion except self-defense or UN Security Council authorization.
Canada finally reacts, through our foreign affairs minister (not our prime minister).
Really, embarrassingly timid statement when you consider what just happened.
Trump has bombed Yemen, Nigeria, Somalia, Iraq, Syria and Iran, even refuses to rule out bombing Greenland, a sovereign territory of ally Denmark.
Today an illegal coup in Venezuela, but where next? Donald Trump talks peace but he is a man of war | Simon Tisdall
