The other day I bitched that people always forget LaMonica McIver in their list of politicized prosecutions.

Please watch this video by @jamellebouie.net. For all the @democrats.org afraid to challenge ICE, once you realize, admit that ICE is the modern-day equivalent of the Ku Klux Klan, the question is not if, but how to abolish this agency. youtu.be/WptX5i2_O1U?...

ICE’s actions tear families apart, intimidate communities, & undermine the conditions that make education, research, healthcare, & public trust possible.
We’re calling on scientists to join the general anti-ICE strike in Minnesota on January 23rd.

If you're a candidate who still hasn't said ICE should be abolished, end your campaign. At some point soon all politicians will be committed to Abolishing ICE and pretending they were for it all along. We see who the cowards are. We see who's in it for personal gain and who puts the people first.

New in PN: Trump's long-awaited healthcare "plan" is a joke
"Is it great? No. Is it a plan? Not really. It is, however, in its combination of stupidity, ideological derangement, and unseriousness, a near-perfect expression of Trump and his party."

There are lessons for provinces from the US experience with data centres. They consume vast quantities of water & power. This causes consumer power rates to go up, way up in some cases. I'm proud that BC has taken a precautionary approach to them being built. edition.cnn.com/2026/01/18/b...

If ICE had anything to do with enforcing the law, they wouldn't be breaking our laws, attacking the innocent, letting people die, or be taking trophy photos of their victims.

Yesterday, I attended a parade and community event honoring Martin Luther King Jr.
It was one of the most loving, inspirational, motivational and just plain fun experiences I’ve had in a long time.
Music, dancing, and togetherness. His memory and what he stood for can still bring us together.
