Last Stand in Bird Flu Ostrich Land The BC ostrich convoy enters the "find out" stage of FAFO and so have we all

As the accursed ostrich situation continues to get simultaneously more stupid and gravely serious, I decided to write up a very long analysis of many of the key issues. Bottom line: so long as this flock lives, it is a threat to Canada's national security. 🧡

Journalist Mario Guevara Deported After Reporting on Anti-Trump Protest Human rights organizations have condemned Mario Guevara’s deportation as an authoritarian attack on the free press.

"Emmy award-winning journalist Mario Guevara was deported today to El Salvador – a country he fled over 20 years ago β€” in retaliation for filming law enforcement activities."

"This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press."

Because people are still talking about this:

It was always very, very clear what Lindsay Shepherd believes. In the past, she's associated with several high-profile Canadian white supremacists. She's never stopped tweeting stuff about race, immigration, etc. #bcpoli

The BC Conservatives knew this.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Trump and Hegseth Speeches Push Military Toward Fascism

Prof @StewartPrest of @UBC doesn't mince words: @realdonaldtrump's speech, and that of @PeteHegseth, were clearly fascist.

Emphasis on military policing inside USA is especially troubling.

British leader says 'vile' synagogue assailant 'attacked Jews because they are Jews' Police said they and killed the suspect in Wednesday's assault, though it took authorities some time to confirm he was dead because he was wearing a vest that suggested he had an explosive.

An assailant drove a car into people outside a synagogue Thursday in northern England and then began stabbing them, killing two and seriously wounding four in a terrorist attack on the holiest day of the Jewish year, police said. https://to.pbs.org/48LgCWd
