Made ravioli and Mr Greenjeans spinach salad tonight.

It’s still the best spinach salad ever in the history of the world. Warm bacon dressing, bacon, mushrooms, onions, hard boiled eggs, grated cheese…did I mention warm bacon dressing?

The wind chill hit -51 in Winnipeg this morning, which is a record low for Jan 25. That was due to a combined air temp of -38 C and 15 km/h winds. Readings of -50 and lower are uncommon. The coldest ever wind chill in Winnipeg was -57.

If you want proof that Trump is going to try to rig the elections, here it is:

In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.
AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting
Her demand came as Minneapolis was reeling from a second fatal shooting by a federal agent this month.

Minnesota's state FBI-like bureau is suing Noem. It says before pre-emptively declaring the killing righteous and abandoning the crime scene, feds took exclusive custody of evidence, including "apparently seized cellphones."

Absolutely reprehensible for CPP to be investing in this.

In 2019, I was part of a campaign to pressure CPP to divest from American for-profit prison company GEO group due to their abuses with ICE. We won. It's time to put that pressure on again. We must not be complicit with fascism.
A grim day to note that Canada Pension Plan Investments has ~$264M in PALANTIR, which is enabling muderous ICE + its horrific terror campaign. Pensions will be useless if brownshirt billionaires kill democracy!!! (see👆post re BCI)

I remember when himself & I were in New York, at, forgive me I can’t remember the name, of a WWII monument where we stood and looked at the Statue of Liberty from.

And it had the years of America’s involvement, and it was a moment. Because for a minute I was like, wait, they got the dates wrong…

I feel no conflict whatsoever in saying I 100% support Minnesotans and all the others fighting the good fight. There are millions of Americans more against, than for, this administration.

But as a nobody Canadian, FUCK buying American. It’s the one thing we can all do.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

-5°F in Minneapolis tonight.

At the site where feds killed Alex Pretti, the air still smells faintly of tear gas. Hundreds of people still here behind some impromptu barricades.

Message spray painted on the road reads, "fuck ICE, love always wins."
