🧵Trump & his thugs are helping Putin bury this horrific war crime. The State Dept refuses to say how & why it terminated the contract with a humanitarian group that was tracking the fate of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia. Now the data collected in tracking the children has been deleted.

I think if the government tried to legislate away the contempt power in Canada courts would say it's an unwritten constitutional principle, because they can't function without it. For what it's worth, I would agree.

It's nice to see someone flipping the script. This is why ICE agents cover their faces.

This, for me, as an outsider, is the real American Dream: courage, loudness, truth to power, equality, standing up for reach other. It's a dream that's never been fully realised, but it can be. This is worth watching 3-4 times.

Funny how the Ford gov in Ontario, conservatives, and the BCNDP in BC, supposedly left (many still believe this) are doing the same thing - gutting legislation to allow corporations to do what they want. Funny huh!

“Thousands of newly obtained documents show” that the founders of Clearview AI—which is backed by Peter Thiel—“always intended to target immigrants & the political left. Now their digital dragnet is in the hands of the Trump admin.” This is incredible reporting by @lukeobrien.bsky.social, 4/2025 1/

Should we call this "moonwalking," when they pretend to be going out the door, but are actually backing deeper in.. ?

Yes, I am saying that every single American member of the IDF who participated in this genocide should face criminal charges. The commission of a war crime by an American is punishable by life imprisonment *regardless of where the war crime occurred.* www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...

It was always about this.. people's cities are burning around them, no food on the shelves, and they blame space lasers - while oil companies produce more and more, with fewer and fewer regulations

In my view the federal NDP fail to understand what a big deal it was to the party's environmental wing that Singh essentially abandoned climate action. They don't see how he did that, and think talking a good game in the debates (which he did) solved the problem. It didn't.

Skeets, they're Skeets! And don't forget nature pics. And also, bsky is different - we don't say what the thing is, we just talk about it, as if everyone knows.

PRGT pipeline in Northern BC waiting for a decision on whether they have made a "substantial start" or not. There's a lot of questions about this project, and few answers.
