Canada must speak up against the arbitrary detention of travellers. Canadians and other nationals have been kidnapped by ICE. These are not the actions of a democratic nation. This is the creep of fascism. I am calling on Canadians to avoid all travel to the USA. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt_q...

New recession indicator just dropped

Canā€™t exactly say I look forward to these, but they are truly an important chronicle of the authoritarian destruction America is experiencing.

Library directors/boards likely won't go for this but I want signs in any physically empty spaces explicitly saying that they can no longer provide that service bc of government orders. Preferably with calls to action after.

DOJ removes disability guidelines for US businesses www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

House and Senate republicans are actually calling out the Trump administration for their plans to withdraw from NATO's Supreme Allied Command Europe - the primary command that oversees support for Ukraine, and the first step in abandoning NATO allies.

NEW ā€” Keith Sonderling, Trumpā€™s Deputy Secretary of Labor, has been named the Acting Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), an agency source tells me. Heā€™ll arrive tomorrow at their office with DOGE and their security detail.

Sign on a door at EPA headquarters shared with me by staffer.

Elon Musk suggests that people should use Grok, the AI chat bot developed by his AI company, to get second opinions on medical matters.

"For years I've tracked the tech billionaires now dismantling our government. A small group of tech billionaires like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, under the guidance of a man named Curtis Yarvin, want to make democracy obsolete." - @gilduran.com #teslatakedown

This story is fucking bonkers

White supremacists hiding the achievements of non-white people is a pretty good indication that they know white people arenā€™t supreme.

DoD is removing thousands of articles from its online properties that include things like Holocaust survivor stories and 9/11 remembrance of service members. Per the latter, I'll tell you where I was. I spent most of the previous two years between Latin America and training. I had 45 days of leave.

Former FBI agent John Buma, a whistleblower who accused the bureau of suppressing his investigative work on topics including Rudy Guiliani's ties to suspected Russian agents, was arrested yesterday in New York and charged with disclosure of confidential information, per an FBI spokesperson.

I've quoted this passage from Trump -- where he states his intent to cause riots and US economic collapse -- so many times. He flat-out announced it on Fox News in February 2014. In my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT I quote my own 2016 essay warning of his plan: www.hidinginplainsightbook.com

Court documents reveal an official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement admitted that ā€œmanyā€ of those who were removed from the U.S. under the Alien Enemies Act ā€œdo not have criminal recordsā€ in this country. The documents were filed by the Trump administration, calling uponā€¦

The man behind DOGE's "AI-first" strategy, the 28 year-old ex-Tesla engineer Thomas Shedd, has quietlyā€”and possibly illegallyā€”become the head of technology for the Department of Labor. My latest: www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/doges-ai-f...

He said heā€™d do it in Project 2025: President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order Thursday to close the Department of Education, fulfilling a years-long pledge to dismantle the federal agency, the White House confirmed. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

if you're not a white servicemember or veteran your contributions don't count. That's the position of this administration. bsky.app/profile/jeff...

If you are visiting the United States, having a negative view of Trump is enough to get you denied entry. If this was coming out of Russia or China, we would deplore such an authoritarian attack on freedom of expression.

NEW: GEO Group, whose stock is valued at $4 billion, says that state minimum wage laws donā€™t apply to the cleaning services that itā€™s asked detained migrants to perform at facilities where theyā€™re kept. @mckenziefunk.com

powerful detailed account of ICE captivity "To put things into perspective: I had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family and even politicians advocating for me...Imagine what this system is like for every other person in there" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Outright thuggery. A hearing has been scheduled in the USIP lawsuit as of 2:00 this afternoon on a motion for a TRO. Seems likely a lot of stuff will be destroyed just in the interim, because the DOGE folks know they can smash quickly before the pushback from the courts.

USIP owns their building. DOGE is vandalizing a building the federal government DOES NOT OWN.

One of the comments I repeatedly get is, ā€œWhy arenā€™t Americans fighting Trump? We should haveā€¦ā€ The statement usually ends with a number. A million people in the streets of DC, 5 million, 10 millionā€¦ Oftentimes the large, centralized marches seen in other countries are held up as a model.

No lies detected.

Terrific, timely explainer from @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social via @wired.com

"Iā€™m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

One problem with the idea of reserving due process for law-abiding people is that due process is how we figure out which people are law-abiding.

okay, we really gotta talk about East Asian and South Asian self-hating fucks (~all men) who willingly pursue white nationalist agendas. it's not okay and speaks to the obsession our community has with trying to be a "model minority" or "one of the good ones" and otherwise reinforcing whiteness :/

So a wannabe DOGEr at Brown Univ from the conservative student paper took the univ org chart and ran it through an AI aglo to determine which jobs were "BS" in his estimation and then emailed those employees/admins asking them what tasks they do and to justify their jobs. bloat.brownspectator.com

The impoundment theory, advanced principally by the Center for Renewing America, founded by Trump's OMB Director Russ Vought, relies heavily on a deeply misleading retelling of history. Hereā€™s the truth: www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/musk-and-v...

CARTOON OF THE DAY šŸ˜•šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø

I did a little experiment today. I setup two TVs, one with antenna and the other with Roku and a 1GB connection. I downloaded News9's Roku app, and started the stream and tuned the other into the local broadcast. The stream had a 40-50 second delay. I think that could be a prob during SVR weather.

NEW: Federal immigration authorities have a history of wrongfully detaining U.S. citizens. Advocates warn that the Trump administrationā€™s immigration policies mean that more citizens will get caught up in raids and sweeps. By @nicolefoy.bsky.social

I am back in Arlington, VA for the hottest #TeslaTakedown in the DMV. Today our friendly local T-Rex has joined us to say, ā€œ Make Tesla Extinct!ā€

Ask yourself: Why would anyone who wasnā€™t an asset of the Russian government do this? Why would any decent human being do this?

Nightmare.

If you voted for the GOP ticket last fall because you believed Trump's rhetoric about getting "tough on China," I have some very bad news for you.

This is a good initiative
