In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows:

An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

This is what scares me. The weapons grade tsunami of #CdnDisinfo & propaganda unleashed against #MarkCarney, from 🇷🇺🇨🇳🇺🇸🇮🇳, has been an attack on 🇨🇦’s democracy, without most people even realizing it.
Constant talk of MC winning, may make people complacent & think they don’t have to vote. #StopPoilievre

Amid the election noise I missed this:

Rachel posted this a day a go, it hit r/Fauxmoi and since then Jamroz appears to have stepped down from ROM already.

We have got to make it unpalatable for anyone to be part of this travesty.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

I am once again begging people to realize that the law is words on paper and is not self executing.

"That's illegal" is not and has never been synonymous with "that's impossible" or "that can't be done."

"That's illegal" means "you might get in trouble for that depending on who you are."

“.. judging only from price action, we are suddenly witnessing a comprehensive turn away from US assets (stocks, USTs, corporate credit and the dollar). this is the single most important theme to monitor over coming weeks. .. for the moment capital is flowing out of the US.”

It's simple. The NDP are the only party that can beat Aaron Gunn and the CPC in our riding. Tell your friends.

Yep. Trump isn't the only one with a disordered personality; I would say that describes a lot of the people who voted for him. It's the only way I can fathom why they vote against their best interest and are unable to see the facts in front of their face.

“What did they expect?” is kind of a misleading question.

The people who supported them didn’t expect something very specific. They expected to own the libs. They expected people they resented to suffer. The expected the world to burn. It wasn’t about specifics.

HYATTSVILLE, Md. (AP) — A federal judge orders the US to return a Maryland man mistakenly deported to an El Salvador prison.

Tweet 2: Seung Min Kim & @seungminkim
White House response: "We suggest the Judge contact President Bukele because we are unaware of the judge having jurisdiction or authority over the country of El Salvador." - @PressSec

It sure looks like they’re going all in on the “the executive branch can ignore court orders if it thinks the court lacks jurisdiction” thing

my reflexive need to respond with "i'm doing great, how are you?" when I really don't care to inquire at all is my daily undoing.

Some knew, but so many didn’t or couldn’t see. I think the question is how - like Brexit - so many were successfully persuaded to vote for the face-eating leopards.

See also the conservative voters in Canada now.
