#Canada is not perfect, and there will always be need to improve, but when I watch the coverage on the news of our Greenland Consulate, I see efforts to be kind, respectful, inclusive, and cooperative, and I know now more than ever that we CANNOT take this for granted. Ever.

The current regime down south has managed to get the NRA mad at them - quite a feat.
And finally, news outlets like CNN can no longer sit on the fence quite as much as they have been - the headlines are slowly moving towards the truth.
Now, the entire US has to protest with #Minneapolis.

Alex Pretti, the 37-year-old man killed by federal immigration agents Saturday, worked as a nurse treating sick veterans, according to family, friends and colleagues – a reflection of his deep desire to help others, they said. https://cnn.it/4bcuwlz

Alexi Pretti was a loved and respected nurse helping critically ill veterans.
He was beaten and murdered on the streets of Minneapolis by paramilitaries in the employ of Donald Trump.
This is not a nation that can be trusted at any level.

There must be consequences.
Non-consensual image creation / "deep-fake porn" has been a problem for a while that the legal system has only just begun to grapple with but part of what makes the Grok thing much worse is that it's delivered instantly & directly into replies to punish women for publicly speaking or even existing.
X basically industrialized the creation of fake porn of women who don't consent. Others did it first, but Grok made it normalized and centralized: publicly visible, instantly creatable by anyone, regardless of who's being targeted and dehumanized. Only question now is will X suffer any consequences
