Does anyone have any insight on tracking down people who were detained at the border? I just crossed over the Canadian border at Niagara Falls and someone I was sitting with was held back and the train left without them. I wasn't able to get their name. Any assistance would be incredibly helpful

"Belief perseverance causes some people to aggressively hold their original position... There is no time to argue with people who remain cognitively confused. The majority of Canadians are ready to have a laser-focused discussion about the real security challenges on the horizon."

"The question the embattled university president asked [me], in effect, was how a university fights an authoritarian regime." "I told him to frame his fight to gain as many allies as he can." Note FIGHT. Universities must act. Keeping their heads down won't work. 1/4 www.chronicle.com/ar...

I really don't think you can make this stuff up - eggs not fentanyl being smuggled across the Canadian border - and the new Samuel L Jackson blockbuster, "Eggs on a Plane" (which I may have made up, but you know you want to hear him say the thing) www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"autocracy rode down the escalator a decade ago..." It's funny, but it's not at all funny. For me this book is empowering for unpacking the decades leading to that escalator of a decade ago & to right now. Maybe listen to the audiobook while hitting the streets! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_Ge...

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

I think the TL:DR is, 'Let's just not do this': "Team Trump’s sycophants somehow seem to believe that the Canadians would surrender quickly & quietly. They have never been to a hockey game. If this all sounds...familiar, it is because that is the exact plan...Putin had for his invasion of Ukraine."

Trump just withdrew the bad CDC nominee after public blowback about the measles vaccine. Scientists, we can achieve the same with the bad NIH nominee. Public pressure can force out Bhattacharya. Your voices are needed now. Please take action. 🧪

I don’t understand why the president is allowed to spout nonsense about colonizing another country and the 25th amendment isn’t being invoked in addition to all the other horrors this is insane. It’s absolutely insane. It isn’t funny or even weird.

On March 10, 1913, Harriet Tubman passed, but escaping slavery in 1849 to fighting oppression and leading countless to freedom through the Underground Railroad has ensured her legacy of resistance endures. 163 days until Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountdowntoSRD
