This is a panoramic image I took with my iPhone a few days ago in Toronto's St. Lawrence market. People were moving which can result in some interesting "effects" in pano mode.

Like the abusive husband saying his wife "deserved" to be beaten.
OMG. He literally went with "they were no angels" which is the mocking phrase people use to point out how authorities try to minimize their law enforcement executions. And he's using it earnestly because he doesn't realize how it's actually used.
Trump on Alex Pretti and Renee Good: "He was not an angel and she was not an angel. You know, you look at some tapes."

Two days ago, we discovered Trump has engaged in the most corrupt behavior of any president in history—giving secret technology to China's ally in exchange for the Trump family getting half a billion dollars.
And nobody is still talking about it. #Corruption

What a joke: the same country that is threatening others with annexation, and engaging in economic warfare is claiming we need to be on the "same team" when it comes to strategic minerals. I wonder what kind of coercive, self-serving one-sided deal the US has in mind.

When I see the news that Trump is basically demanding that the GOP run the elections in states where he feels he would lose, I feel very thankful that the arms-length Elections Canada organization running things here north of the border. We still have a functioning democracy.

A friend in St. Paul just shared a story about an ICE encounter. (She's an organizer of observers/community care.) Horrifying. Then it got worse. Threats to people's kids. It's sadism.
She wrote, "Remember, whatever you're hearing about Minnesota, it's not enough & the situation is far more dire."
