This is a travesty of journalism — it doesn’t matter and does nothing to excuse ICE killing her.
your journalists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could they didn't stop to think if they should

This photo tells you everything you need to know about the far right in Canada.

How fundamentally stupid and bigoted do you have to be to look at the disgraceful shitshow our neighbors are enduring and think to yourself "yeah, let's get us some of that"?

Amount of blood US has expended defending Greenland: zero. Amount of blood Denmark has expended defending the US: 43 Danish soldiers gave their lives in Afghanistan, responding to a US appeal under article 5 of NATO. Ogles has no idea about any of this, because he's an incompetent buffoon.
Ogles: "It's important that we have a stake in Greenland, that they are quite frankly a protectorate of the US. They've been in relationship with Denmark - that needs to end. We've spilled more blood protecting Greenland than the Danes... we are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere"

finally deactivated my twitter account (didn't use it much), but had resisted because unfortunately, there were still some local accounts that gave me useful information and are not present on Bluesky. Oh well 🤷. Glad that's over. I feel better already.

Why are buying their F-35s? It may be a moot point in terms of offensive capabilities (against the US military) but certainly makes zero sense to support the American military-industrial complex at this time.
This press conference should be a wakeup call to anyone who (still) doesn't think Trump and America represent a clear threat to Canada's sovereignty and independence.

Cuba is clearly next. Then who?

@leebee4life.bsky.social Thank you for stating this so simply and plainly. It is unacceptable and he is despicable. End of story. And thank you for not adding (as some do) 'but here we are'. Adding that little phrase (imo) is a sign of acquiescence.
I’m still thinking about “quiet, piggy.” No president should be able to speak to a member of the press that way and remain president. That moment encapsulates how vile, misogynistic, and horrible that man is.

Fascinating new paper: higher levels of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater correlate with higher health-related absences from work.

"COVID-19 may have created a new year-round baseline for work absences that is similar to influenza season conditions before the pandemic," the authors write.
Enduring Outcomes of COVID-19 Work Absences on the US Labor Market
This cohort study examines the extent to which COVID-19 continues to generate work absences and decrease labor force participation beyond the pandemic period in the US.

Topics Mike Johnson thinks are serious:

- Super Bowl halftime entertainer
- getting a Nobel Prize for Trump
- terrifying naked bike riders

Topics he thinks are not serious:

- Epstein Files
- domestic violence
- being able to keep the govt open
- the neutering of Congress
Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

Let’s give these motherfuckers bribing and kidnapping children as much attention as possible
With deportation continuing apace amid the federal government shutdown, advocates speculated that the latest scheme to pay off immigrant children was deliberately timed by ICE and its parent agency, the Department of Homeland Security, to minimize public attention.

ICE confirmed its plan to pay unaccompanied immigrant children in exchange for their agreement to be deported.
