Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 97 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

And this isn't just any Dodgers game. It's a Dodgers/Padres game. Yet ICE says there's no particular reason they wanted access. Sure, Jan. GTFO.

"If you are a racialized woman, especially Black or Indigenous, and if your syllabus doesn’t pass as acceptably white, pro patriarchy, pro capitalist, pro imperialist and pro-colonialist, its open season on your reputation—and job" rabble.ca/human-rights...

“Calgary, Canada, had the largest drop, down to No. 18 from No. 5. Worsening healthcare concerns & instability forced Canada's third-largest city from the top 10.” Huh. So gutting health care & enboldening separatism has consequences. #abpoli #cdnpoli www.businessinsider.com/world-best-c...

Remember when Kieran Moore told us that #measles cases in Ontario were “stable” and that Public Health had things in control? Yeah. Turns out he was wrong. CBC is explains how “going to be hard to end Ontario’s measles outbreak” www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Why are we allowing Israel to dictate what we are allowed to think in Canada?

IMO, the Senate would be doing the PM a favour by sending #BillC5 back to the House. Carney wants to be the guy who gets things done, but C-5 is just going to generate controversy & court challenges. Do it properly & you won't have those problems, right? www.cbc.ca/player/play/... #Canada #CDNPoli

Iran: Weeks away from having nuclear weapons since 1995

Over 200 economists and experts urge investment in public health care, citing benefits to Canadian economy centreforfuturework.ca/2025/06/17/t... @jimbostanford.bsky.social 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀 ⇢ CanadaHealthwatch.ca

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

“It should be obvious by now that neither Justin Trudeau nor the carbon tax had any impact on your grocery bills. Corporate greed and government ignoring its regulatory responsibilities have.” #CDNpoli #Greed #Weston #yvr @cultmtl.com

When I tell you Los Angeles is an occupied city/county, this is what I mean… Yesterday, ICE agents showed up to a regular Saturday swap meet with armed Marines and a military helicopter overhead, like it’s a fucking war zone.

Feels like this is the kind of thing that major media outlets might want to report on, though maybe some are eyeing “abandon the idea of a free press” as their self-preservation mechanism

I just got back home to finally sit down and watch the parade footage and it’s 100x more embarrassing than I expected. I totally forgot the weak nations that do these spend decades perfecting them. It looked like if Fyre festival did North Korea.

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.

@msnbc.com reporter at the 1:15 mark. “The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” #nokings

MSNBC reporter in gas mask in Los Angeles: I think it was Sheriffs deploying CS gas, tear gas, pepper spray, and flash bang grenades in large numbers. Mounted units pushing against protesters.., every single gathering I saw today was 100% peaceful

A Tennessee woman is studying to be a nurse and works nights cleaning buildings. ICE recently deported her husband, leaving her alone with three kids and another child on the way. She's about to lose her car and home. Would you consider donating to help? www.gofundme.com/f/urgent-hel...

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

Masks save lives and fight Long COVID. To ban them is heinous and a form of eugenics.

What’s next, patient fees for that screening blood test or flu shot or mammogram or childhood immunization? Because all of those things are preventative healthcare staples too and all of them keep Albertans out of the hospital or get them early treatment so they can survive. They also SAVE MONEY.

It’s not hyperbole to say that the deaths in Minnesota are on the GOP’s hands. They’ve built this political environment and they’ve allowed a demagogue to spread hate. This is entirely on them.

Caryma is a dangerous person and will trample over everyone so she can pretend to be Canada's Shaun King

Jesus wept. Smdh.

This is what dignity and self-respect looks like. Protect this man at all costs.

We are not your children or your servants. You work for us.

Protestors aren’t the ones who need to be advised on being peaceful.

To the "It could never happen here" crowd: Fuck you. That's what THEY said.

This is insane!! What a fucking disaster Trump is.

I will say this about Bluesky as a bubble: In this bubble, no one has said I should be "backhanded out of the room" or called me a word that rhymes with runt, both of which were specific Twitter add-ons

Repost G7 protests to be livestreamed to leaders in Kananaskis to give protesters a voice #G7Summit #Canada #cdnpoli #livestreamprotests globalnews.ca/news/1120985...

👇🤣🎯 That about sums it up

A reminder that Dalton McGuinty's staffers went to jail for similar actions over the Gas Plant Scandal. Records were permanently deleted by Ford staff. This needs legal intervention. Call and email your MPPs to demand the RCMP get involved. #onpoli

Well well.... looks like Dug Fraud is only looking out for himself. He cares not about anyone or anything else.

How is this not a war crime? How this not a green light for Iran to target Israeli or U.S. civilian scientists in return?

Israel once again went on a murder spree and killed aide workers. www.cnn.com/2025/06/11/m...

Stop saying “this isn’t who we are.” 43% of Americans currently approve of Trump’s handling of immigration policy, and especially when a lot of those people are in positions of power, this is, by definition, what we are. “Not all Americans,” but more than enough. That applies to all of us, too.

Just like she’s done every night at Canadian swimming trials, Summer McIntosh gives her stuffy and gold medal to young fans. Summer mania has swept across this pool and the country. And in its wake are young fans who are being inspired by each Summer swim.

Well we still have famine to look forward to. How great for us.

The only reason prisons are able to pay incarcerated individuals less than minimum wage is because the 13 amendment exempts punishment in prison from the prohibition on slavery. They're legal slaves. That doesn't apply to civil detention for immigration. It's blatantly unconstitutional.

I’m hearing rumors that thousands of people are calling the ICE tip line to report little green men and other aliens from outer space. That’s not why ICE set up this number, so you should absolutely NOT call that tip line to report those types of aliens. 👽 I repeat—do NOT call the below number! ☎️

A sign of how fundamentally broken and inadequate to the moment our information and media ecosystem is when the president is deploying the military to crush protests against his mass kidnapping scheme, and the question is whether those who oppose it are being nice enough.
