AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

A customer told me she couldn't believe this store would put up a Pride display, because what if children see it?? Anyway, it was my display, and I'm proud of it, and you (and your children) should all see it. #BookSky 📚💙

A new analysis of C-2 reports on how the bill proposes to expand the scope of law enforcement to access individuals’ online “subscriber information.” Such information could be sought without a warrant, and law enforcement could compel even foreign telecoms to supply it. @crof.bsky.social writes.

Astute observation! It’s not about saving money; it’s about graft.

Chronic illness isn't always mysterious. Sometimes it's historical. Sometimes it's environmental. -Sometimes it's both. But there sure are companies working hard to make sure we never connect it to them. #superfund #autoimmunedisease #chronicillness #mysteryillness #chronicpain #POTS #MCAS

Treat JD Vance on Bluesky like we did Donald’s birthday parade. Ignore it, don’t show up to watch it, and he will soon become sad and dejected.

The dirty little secret of Trumpism and the MAGA movement is that behind all the rhetoric, it is effectively the same, reheated platform that Republicans have been pushing for as long as I've covered politics, says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on the push for foreign wars and tax cuts.

“Israel says it’s trying to stop us from getting a nuclear bomb. But Iran respects international conventions on its nuclear program. Meanwhile, Israel has nuclear bombs — and doesn’t allow international inspectors in. They are the last people who should be giving an opinion on this.”

CPC strategist Fred DeLorey says Poilievre has purposely put the leadership vote in Alberta, in January, to effect turnout. Says the most resistant to PP come from Quebec and Maritimes, the time of year and long travel will lower their representation. Everything is manipulation with PP. #cdnpoli

And why, dear G7 leaders, do you think that "the world has experienced record-breaking wildfires across every forested continent over the past decade"? Maybe a little thing you used to call climte change before it became the crisis that dare not speak its name? www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...

All you need to do is put him in a beautiful country he wants but can’t have, not let him control the room, and poof he vanishes. It’s Canadian magic.

Israel bombed the Iranian state TV building in Tehran during a live broadcast on Monday, touting that Israel was attacking the “Iranian propaganda and incitement mouthpiece.” International law bars militaries from targeting journalists in war. Even so, Israel has attacked journalists relentlessly.
