Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Keep telling folks ICE / CBP absolutely are having the time of their lives shooting, gassing, beating, arresting, and kidnapping people. Here’s a bit in their own words.
This is like comic book fascist dialogue. Come on.

It’s an explicit propaganda network. In case someone needed any more evidence.
An X user asks Elon Musk why they’re seeing tweets from left-wing lawmakers.

Musk: “Because we are failing very badly with the recommendations algorithm. Doing my best to address this.”

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

This story is nuts.

"ICE agents then surrounded the judge’s car and demanded everyone to exit the vehicle, threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply."

Why would Jeffrey Epstein kill himself in jail if he had this much leverage of the one person who could give him a full pardon?

Ontario is dismantling 36 conservation authorities and replacing them with 7 regional bodies. Not for efficiency, but to strip power from communities and impose top-down control.
The Doug Ford government is setting its sites on conservation authorities for the fifth time, merging the watershed protection agencies. Staff tell @fatimabsyed.bsky.social it may ‘slow approvals, create confusion’ — not to mention it's leaving them with ‘whiplash.’ thenarwhal.ca/ontario-cons...

Join us in taking our pledge!

You can't understand Trump and the MAGA movement without recognizing the central role of anti-Blackness to their strategy. @aapf.org's new report is essential reading for anyone invested in building the multiracial movement for democracy 👇
Our new report, Anti-Blackness Is the Point, out today reveals how Trump’s second administration has worked to roll back 60+ years of civil rights and equal opportunity. From racist narratives to book bans, the attack is coordinated and historic in its scope.

🦆In the 1970s, Guelph leaders and the GRCA bought the former Frank Kortright Waterfowl Park lands to protect them forever as parkland. In June 2024, the GRCA approved a plan to sell 20 acres, betraying that original vision and the public investment behind it.

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.
