When I saw Liam at the Dilley Detention Center, something was clearly wrong. He was lethargic, not eating, and depressed.
Thankfully, Liam and his dad are back home in Minneapolis with their family.
No child should ever endure this. We will not stop until this cruelty ends.

Seeing the ICE body cam footage of how calm Renee Nicole Good was and hearing an ICE agent utter a gendered expletive upon her being murdered in front of her wife and dog is nothing short of horrific.

While there are no bright sides to US Imperialism at it again - knowing Danielle Smith is somewhere losing it has to be the only consolation.
"Trump's Venezuela Attack: It’s All About the Oil, Stupid!"
Here are five times Donald Trump himself admitted that illegally attacking Venezuela and toppling Nicolás Maduro was aimed at seizing the country’s massive oil reserves.

For those upset that the Capital Pride parade was shut down ask the right questions: why did Cap Pride cancel it rather than speak to community groups openly and in good faith?
Why were VAST swaths of queer community groups today ignored in their calls for transparency & Palestinian solidarity?

The Liberal govt’s continued invocation of s.107 of the Canada Labour Code violates s2(d) of the Charter. Workers have the right to withhold their labour so employers will bargain in good faith.

Holy shit, Liberals just flipped Terrebonne when the final poll reported.
Winning by a difference of 35 votes, the Liberals are now just three seats away from a majority.
