There is a devastating report in the NYT this afternoon that one the US-destroyed fishing boats washed ashore in Columbia and contained only evidence of marijuana.
Trump’s claim that he is saving the US from fentanyl smuggling by Venezuela is a disprovable lie.

Just listened to the Nov 21 episode, which asked 'where would we get more MDs from'. The Pod could have mentioned that the provinces control higher Ed &, hence, the number of MDs trained. Also, include a health care economist when discussing sector privatization.

We can confirm that Koroshetz has been on a series of short-term renewals, where the Trump NIH leaders like Memoli approve his renewal and then pass the request up to HHS to be approved by the White House/OMB/Vought. Those renewals have come for a few weeks at a time then the process repeats.

Video of officers abusing their power and hurting people can really matter. Video is a big part of why the police killing of George Floyd was the BLM case that provoked the biggest public reaction.
When people see violent abuse, they’re forced to confront it more. Not seeing makes it easier to deny.

Keep taking videos of what ICE is doing. @govpritzker.illinois.gov is right, document what’s happening. This is why they hate journalists so much.

Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media.
Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are.
Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.
