So the right is now saying that carrying a hidden gun legally is justification for the state removing that gun and killing you. After decades of using the opposite argument to support their very existence?

78% say it was the right thing to reduce tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, which will result in some increased canola sales to China + Chinese electric vehicles being sold in Canada

It turns out that when the good guys do have guns they still get shot in the back by Federal thugs.

My sister in Minneapolis, Minnesota sent me this link. My +80 brother-in-law has been on the streets for weeks. 100% WASP, and my extended family is frightened by ICE, not immigrants. Wake up, MAGA, this should not be your dream. 😕🇨🇦

I seem to remember a time when you’d see films from America where a bunch of hooded guys would ride into town, terrorise everyone and shoot some innocents. But you knew it’d be ok, as a righteous Sheriff would round them all up and mete out justice. No more. That’s not Trump’s way. 😢

There is A LOT of misinformation going around about the continued funding of ICE.

It ISN'T a done deal.

Yes, it passed in the House, but the Senate hasn't taken it up yet.

That's the way this shit works.

CONTACT YOUR SENATOR NOW AND TELL THEM TO VOTE THIS FUNDING DOWN.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

So trump is going to impose a 100% tariff on ‘all’ Canadian products entering the US, if Canada makes a deal with China. The poor Americans will certainly suffer, when their electricity, oil, and natural gas prices go up 100%!
