Sean Penn’s performance as Col Steve Lockjaw in One Battle After Another is a demonically brilliant monstrous fusion of RFK Jr & Nazi Bovino: it’s a gift to everyone living through all this fascist MAGA depravity. Thank you, Mr Penn, for allowing us to fantasize the bloody end of these evil fuckwads

I posted on *three platforms* just over *20 minutes* after Radio-Canada first misidentified this innocent trans woman as a mass shooter on national television in a 6:00pmET broadcast.
I tagged Radio Canada and Patrice Roy.
They didn't issue a correction until after 2:00pmET today.
Unacceptable.

Radio-Canada apologizes after it aired a photo circulated by anti-trans hate groups online, falsely claiming it was a photo of the Tumbler Ridge shooter. Damaging and irresponsible, and this apology raises more questions about journalistic process imho.

Bad idea. ICE is pre-funded by the BBB. Also, CBP is just as bad if not worse and also pre-funded by the BBB. Severing ICE gives away any leverage we have to shut down the rest of DHS. We should be demanding to defund ICE/CBP of its BBB money and shut down ALL of DHS if they don’t agree.
