I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Make no mistake that the rights you enjoy in Canada will be contested at every point. You have to fight tooth and nail to preserve them.

This is because everything they want to do is illegal

…with the USA

The video of Trump’s deportees arriving in El Salvador is horrific.

This is 21st century Nazism.

Identities concealed, trafficked to a foreign labour camp. No due process, no evidence of crime. Dehumanised.

Where is the global outrage?

The crime is historic; the normalisation catastrophic.

Shame about the ol’ Zionism

MAGA - USA

What - the support of genocide? Well it was catastrophic for Gaza’s families - they seem to have decided to move their ‘operations’ to the West Bank for at least a year with America’s blessing. Your point?

…who supported genocide

Stop banging on about this person who actively supported the genociding of half a million women and children. She is complicit.

How about Israel, NYT?

More binary reductive thinking

Happy to see you here, Ella!!

I think people will subscribe to DeepSeek just as they did with the Little Red Book app. Meta, X, and Amazon have compelled people to use apps run by people they hate, and whose owners have shown them nothing but contempt. If any other option presents itself, people will bail, and rightly so. I did.

Blimey the amount of bot activity on Meta is gobsmacking

The uni where I work has over 50% Chinese students lol!

The US TikTok 'migration' to little red book/REDnote/ Xiaohongshu isn't that weird when you think Western Universities have been accepting Chinese students in NUMBERS for time now. Young people are far closer acquainted with Chinese people than the government realise.

Aways loved this track - the use of horns is wild!!

Ok I’m in! What happened next?

If it's writers has to be J.G. Ballard for me

I buy books which sit on my shelves and then I read other ones I've downloaded
