Shelter-in-place lifted, suspect dead after active shooter alert for high school in Tumbler Ridge, B.C. | CBC

Jeezus. 10 total dead in a town of less than 3,000

Epstein wrote he was “going into a SCIF” — that’s a secure facility used for classified conversations.

In another conversation, he says his house is like a SCIF. I’ve been reporting on the sites the Epstein network operated.

Drew and I talked about our friend and coworker Dan McQuade, who we said goodbye to yesterday in Philadelphia, on this week's episode of The Distraction. We're sad, but this is also one of the most literal His Memory Is A Blessing scenarios imaginable. defector.com/the-last-may...

Tom Morello in Minneapolis last night. 🤩
KILLING IN THE NAME

Professional athletes are being advised not to leave the hotel or go anywhere without their passports while visiting Minnesota.

This is not a country that can safely host international events like the World Cup.

Boycotting is not even a political question anymore. It is a basic issue of safety.

FYI, Kristi Noem’s full
initials are K.L.A.N.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

we said all along that they wanted Gawker dead not because we embarrassed a pro wrestler but because the Epstein story is one Gawker was covering a decade before most other people caught up & was just one of many stories exposing powerful people and their misdeeds

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning

I was sent this video of agents at her door:

Um…bit bold to call the story I broke on Tuesday a “Star analysis” with zero credit to me!

This is such a bummer. I worked really hard on this one.

Dan McQuade, 1983–2026 | Defector Dan McQuade, our friend and colleague, died this week at the age of 43. He is survived by his wife and young son. At the end of 2024, Dan was diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer. The news of his diag...

Rest in peace to one of the great bloggers and the de facto mayor of Philadelphia. It was my honor and pleasure to work with him. defector.com/dan-mcquade-...

This is great shit

Whew buddy this man has some HATERS

Wembanyama says he's 'horrified' by the 'murders' in MInneapolis The 22-year-old Frenchman addressed the unrest between civilian protesters and ICE agents in Minnesota while speaking to reporters after practice Tuesday.

Asked after practice about the ongoing horrors in Minneapolis, Victor Wembanyama answered at first cautiously, then forcefully and always eloquently.

Our @tom_orsborn has the story:

If Stephen Miller is still in the White House, that means the white nationalist gameplan is still all systems GO.

What we're witnessing is just window dressing and distractions.

Tom Homan is just as bad as Bovino, but less openly Nazi.

Keep your eyes wide open.

Weird that hiring away a few checked-out Tory alcoholics from British dailies and emphasizing op eds about Why Your Boss Deserves A Tax Cut didn't deliver better results but what can you do? What, at the end of the day, can you do?

Now I want to know which CNN reporter or producer doesn't know the word "sycophant."

Many people have decided that Donald Dump has referred to Prime Minister Mark Carney as "Governor of the 51st state" because Trump is "angry" that Carney "upstaged him at Davos".

I think this really misses the mark.

One of the most bizarre, sad games': Warriors' Kerr on mood in Minneapolis Fans in Minneapolis shouted “F—k ICE” during a moment of silence for Alex Pretti.

As people outside the Target Center in Minneapolis on Sunday continued protesting the killing of a man by federal immigration agents, the effects were felt inside as well during the Golden State Warriors’ game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The stabilized version is brutal.

They say “where’s the gun?” — After the shots

Because they don’t realize one of them had already taken it — before the shots

"ICE 101" — How Trump changed ICE and CBP into a fascist secret police ICE and CBP are fatally flawed products of the post-9/11 War on Terror — now Trump has weaponized those very flaws to occupy America.

I found this bit, by a journalist who has written about CBP and ICE for many years, to be really instructive on how shockingly and persistently lawless those agencies, and especially CBP, have been for their entire existence, for more or less the same reason. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-101-ho...

For decades, countries like Canada prospered under what we called the rules-based international order. We join its institutions, we praised its principles, we benefited from its predictability. And because of that, we could pursue values-based foreign policies under its protection. We knew the story of the international rules-based order was partially false, that the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient, that trade rules were enforced asymmetrically, and we knew that international law applied with varied rigor, depending on the identity of the accused or the victim. This fiction was useful, and American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, open sea lanes, a stable financial system, collective security, and support for frameworks for resolving disputes.

If nothing else, pretty amazing Canadian PM Carney said the quiet part out loud today: international law has never been real and the ‘rules’ of the international order have never applied to the US and its allies.

This may indeed be the actual death of neoliberalism.

"At the end of the day, it's bigger than me. The things that are going through makes people uncomfortable, imagine how (Palestinians) feel?" he said. "That's the biggest thing. I have no affiliation, no connection, to these people - other than the fact that I am a human being. If you have a heart and you're a human being, and you see what's going on in this world, you check yourself real quick.
