It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

I caught few Canada Research Chairs named (some as associated with projects vs direct emails) in the Epstein database.

I hope questions get asked as to their involvement—this is a research ethics and professional ethics issue, good faith questions are necessary.

NEWS - Jesse Ventura Suggests Minnesota Join Canada Over Trump Feud

Report: Craziest politician in America makes excellent suggestion

Yesterday on the way home from a long city council meeting, I saw that my bus wasn’t going to come for 40(!) min, so I walked. Not everyone has that option.

I believe that you deserve compensation for being left out in the cold. And we need every option on the table to get OC Transpo moving again.

Okay. That's pretty damn funny.

If you work at DHS and know the identities of the CBP officers that murdered Alex Pretti, my Signal contact info is in my bio. I’ll keep you anonymous.

There's no longer any question: it's time to compensate transit riders for what they're going through. These pictures are heartbreaking - people going to evening shifts, home and family, class.

Minneapolis residents are risking their lives so that the world can see what is actually happening to their city, Charlie Warzel reports.

Video contradicts Trump administration account of Minneapolis killing Once again, DHS appears to be lying.

A new video contradicts the Trump administration's account of the Minneapolis shooting

It's weird to see Americans apologizing more right now than Canadians normally do. Wild times, I tell ya.

For anyone who missed this we have a real problem in Canada with American owned media like Postmedia that are sympathetic to Trump and big oil.

They often also own your local news.

Consider following independent media by email since a lot of social media is Trump-connected too.

There is no accreditation system for media in Canada so “anyone with a cell phone and a blog is part of the extended definition of 'media,'” the RCMP's lawyer said, but acknowledged Bracken, who has won international awards for her work, does not fit into the “blogger” category.

A Lytton Fire Class-Action Suit Against Railways Is Going Ahead | The Tyee A BC Supreme Court justice ruled the evidence that a train sparked the devastating fire is sufficient for a trial.

#Lytton residents will have their class-action lawsuit against Canada’s two major railway companies heard in the B.C. Supreme Court, thanks partly to new evidence of high brake temperatures on a train passing through the community shortly before the town burned.

Stephen Miller Is an Immigration Hypocrite. I Know Because I’m His Uncle. If my nephew’s ideas on immigration had been in force a century ago, our family would have been wiped out.
