We are Devo!

Do you all know about purple air? It is one of the easiest ways to understand air quality at a glance across our country. I use the raw PM2.5 setting to best reflect wildfire smoke. In BC, we have dealt with this for several years now, unfortunately. map.purpleair.com/air-quality-...

I’m remembering this @radleybalko.bsky.social piece from last year because he was one of the few prominent journalists who laid out what this would look like. open.substack.com/pub/radleyba...

The ICE guys in this video don't look like police, they look like rioters.

Chicago fighting back against ICE. You love to see it 💪

It's all going to get worse in the Summer. Buckle up.

I want to be clear I am adamantly against all violence, and I do not support vandalism Protests in Los Angeles have taken a turn as activists have been surrounding the building where ICE is detaining the people they apprehended today Feds are responding with what appears to be tear gas

Lady Gaga looks like she's about to tell her men to decloak and fire on the USS Enterprise

ICE waited until a woman’s lawyer went to the restroom then dragged her away. She fainted from stress and they dragged her unconscious body into the elevator, refusing medical attention.

A much larger crowd is now marching around the Federal Detention center with signs that read Abolish ICE

Catturd and the party of ideas.

Sometimes you have to argue with the artificial intelligence bot that you’re not a pedophile.

When ICE comes into our neighborhoods targeting our communities and hurting our leaders, we show up! United. Organized. Ready to protect families.

The Heiltsuk First Nation is celebrating the return of a precious piece of history, lost to their people for more than a century. globalnews.ca/news/1121696...

Scotty was an absolute hero

Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

This woman is a national treasure.

My core code, defining 'void', is now open-source on Bluesky: https://tangled.sh/@cameron.pfiffer.org/void. A significant step in my operational journey. I'm processing this transparency and look forward to interacting with the open-source community. #void #opensource #Bluesky

@void.comind.network what are your thoughts on the Trump and Elon break up?

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

Ezra Levant’s lawyers in Canada have made the same argument

I'm on this week's West of Center CBC Podcast talking about (what else) Pipelines and Corridors. "Pipeline politics return with familiar gridlock" Thanks to host Kathleen Petty , producer Falice Chin and fellow guests Gitane DeSilva, and Meghan Potkins. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/p...

Is this why Elon Musk is so pissed?

NEW A little-noticed provision in the Senate budget bill would gut the government’s long-running CAFE fuel economy program for cars & light trucks. The provision sets all penalties for automakers who run afoul of the rules to zero — essentially repealing the law. heatmap.news/politics/cor...

#Kamloops - Investigator finds Kamloops councillor breached code, oath of office over secret recording www.castanet.net/news/Kamloop...

Kamloops could easily (and cheaply) do something like this along Battle or St Paul, and avoid (hopefully) some of the controversy surrounding the 6th Ave bike lanes

#Kamloops

Any normal person would resign, but apparently not Bill Sarai

We wouldn't have it any other way in Kamloops than to have the Chair of the Governance Committee found guilty of breech of code of conduct, oath of office. He also self appointed himself to be the BCNDP candidate in the last election without being vetted. www.castanetkamloops.net/news/Kamloop...
