“There was no explanation, no warning. He led me to a room, took my belongings from my hands and ordered me to put my hands against the wall. A woman immediately began patting me down” Jasmine is using her platform to tell the stories of other women detained by ICE (including another Canadian).

Are you an American healthcare worker? Canada welcomes you!

A baby quilt I just finished . A teeny mandala. Mom wanted this design… Fun to make a small one. About 50”x50”

BREAKING: 34,000 people have showed up in Denver, Colorado this evening to see Bernie Sanders and AOC fight oligarchy and authoritarianism.

WOW! AOC and Bernie Sanders just held the Biggest political event in Denver since Obama 2008.

A new quilt I just finished … next is to get it quilted! It is very big-100”x100”. It is not paper pieced and is a Robin Ruth design that I modified a touch!

Follow the money and see where it goes. Nothing like buying our Congress. Musk has made the maximum allowable donation to members of Congress who support impeaching federal judges who are impeding actions taken by Trump.

Tough article on Trump and how his screwing up the economy could undermine Republicans and everything he is hoping to achieve. I gifted it so you could read that Wall Street is not falling for any of his BS, and is holding Trump fully accountable! www.barrons.com/articles/tru...?

The White House claims planes bearing migrants to El Salvador were in international waters off the Yucatán, so that’s why they ignored the court order to turn them around. International waters, eh? Isn’t that the Gulf of *America* now?

If you’re in the neighborhood…

Gawd, I miss Pelosi. This would never have happened on her watch.

And the next president can pardon them anyway, is that how it works now?

The GOP has been told not to host in-person town halls—what are they so afraid of? Hearing from their own constituents? Meanwhile, leaders like Tim Walz are stepping up. He’s hosting a town hall in Iowa, not even in his own district, making sure Americans’ voices are heard.

I just donated to them because I want to do my part to fight off the CONS who want to dismantle this Canadian treasure!

Trump and Musk are going after Social Security, Medicaid, the VA, and public education. In what universe, in what world, in what religion is it morally acceptable to cut programs for hungry children in order to reward the wealthy?

Tadaa.

IN FULL: “There is a reason why at hockey games Canadians are booing the US national anthem… we are insulted, we are mad, we are angry” @vicderbyshire.bsky.social speaks to Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly about US tariffs and the "51st State" #Newsnight www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1QUAr6qHKA

I had missed Slotkin’s response last night, but one of my kids sent it to me this morning because it is spreading on TikTok. This is about the best rebuttal I can remember. A star is born! youtube.com/watch?v=iOhe...

Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s dismantling of USAID will lead to millions of preventable deaths. The decision of the richest person in the world to destroy an agency that delivers life-saving aid to the poorest people on the planet is unconscionable.

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

Putin can’t believe his luck. Here is Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov on Trump: “The new administration is fast changing all foreign policy configurations…This coincides with our vision in many ways.” Trump now backs dictatorship, not democracy. We cannot allow that to stand.

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦 ✊

Without the CBC, foreign and corporate interests will dictate our news, silence independent journalism, and leave Canadians uninformed. We need our own voice now more than ever. Pierre Poilievre plans to shut it down if he wins the election. Join us & help save the CBC: forwardcanada.ca/protectcbc

Trump has reoriented the U.S.’s geopolitical strategy, turned on our major trading partners, and allowed the world’s richest man to cut hundreds of thousands of federal workers and billions of dollars in government services. Why aren’t we in the streets?

President Trump’s aides have insisted that his tariffs won’t have a negative impact on U.S. consumers and businesses. Studies by economists have found otherwise.
