Super Snappy

A key takeaway from all this has to be "You don't have to listen to Republicans anymore." They're either perpetrators of fascism or suckers who fell for it. If you have conservative views we can consider them again in 50 years or so

6d Listen to this article Congregants of an east Charlotte church scattered into the woods Saturday when masked federal agents arrived and detained one of their members, according to witnesses. About 15 to 20 church members were doing yard work on the property off Albemarle Road while their children played games and their spouses cooked meals. Agents parked just outside a closed gate leading to the church parking lot and ran into the yard, said the pastor, who did not want to identify himself or his church.

The agents asked no questions and showed no identification before taking one man away, whose wife and child were inside at the time, the pastor said. They attempted to grab others, too. "Right now, everybody is scared. Everybody," he said. "One of these guys with immigration, he say he was going to arrest one of the other guys in the church. He pushed him." Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken. Some yard workers fled into the surrounding woods when officials arrived, including 15-year-old Miguel Vazquez.

Here’s a story for every national news outlet:

In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property.

Families of Canadian Oct. 7 victims urge Carney to lead global effort to dismantle Hamas, hold Iran accountable — National Post Parents of Alexandre Look and Adi Vital-Kaploun presented the prime minister with policy requests during their meeting

These people are so selfish. They have no regard for the 100,000+ murdered by Israel and holding Israel to account.

This is sickening to read.

Canada should be putting IsraelI Canadians who committed war crimes in Gaza on trial. That’s the effort Carney should lead.

Abolition is the way!

Wow, that's a lot of nominations

I had hand surgery this summer, but I found shaving wasn't hard at all. Though in right-handed and surgery was on my left hand if that helps

If you're an American politician and you view it as one of your primary jobs to be a guardian for a whole other country, that's borderline treason

By the way, the corollary of "illegal =/= impossible" is that just because something SHOULD BE a right doesn't mean that it already is.

Every day someone tells me they have a constitutional right to food or housing. Everyone SHOULD have those rights. Unfortunately, in this country, we don't.

I hope Ippei Mizuhara didn't either

They literally have all the money and resources at their disposal to crush you, and they control the legal system.

Chris Bassit pitching with #51 written on his cap

Re-watching the ninth inning. It appears Blue Jays Chris Bassit drew #51 on his cap for Dodger Alex Vesia.

What a class act.

The most insanely frustrating thing about the #ClimateCrisis is how the breakthrough we so clearly need isn’t technological. It’s just a collective willingness, a determination even, to change in ways that would clearly be SO MUCH BETTER than the clear and obvious consequences of NOT changing.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

It's a great time to be a Jays fan. And your writing makes being a Jays fan even better!

Can we call them racist yet?

LinkedIn post from Kelly Sherwood announcing her new roles as Case Lead at Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario.

Did you know that KKKory's first wife is case manager at the Privacy Commissioner of Ontario?

Kelly Sherwood's sister, Stacey, was Laureen Harper's assistant.

All of the institutions, all of the regulators, all of the so-called "checks and balances" are still Team Harper, rebranded for Team Ford.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

We've known for years, but some don't care or forgot.

37 years ago in 1989 the Trump casino application in Sydney Australia was rejected because of Trump's ties to organize crime.

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage.

The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn.

No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

Doug Ford’s office has already received over ten thousand emails in the last 24 hours, saying no Bill 60, which would enable landlords to renegotiate leases every year, and refuse to renew without cause.

Acorn Ontario is calling this proposal “Ford’s most dangerous act” and they’re right #onpoli

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

Catherine Connolly, the independent socialist, is President-Elect. Yet again, Ireland bucks the trend of liberal democracies falling to far right nihilism. Here is who she is - Connolly supports the LGBTQ community & People with Disabilities, Carers & a United Ireland. #Aras25 #SpeirGhorm

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!
