Watching the Canadian Women's Curling Championship final tonight. I haven't curled since the mid-1970's, but I find the physics and strategy of curling fascinating.

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."

PP kept his job, and those of us who cannot stand him cannot rest easy. If we assume he’ll lose the next federal election, beware.
We cannot sit back and watch…. We might fight. In ON, voters who didn’t like Ford stayed home, and Ford got elected (majority) with just 27% of the vote. Never assume.

Toronto cops who have a history of harassing people legally filming them likely masturbate to this kind of video and fantasize about being able to up the level of violence here.
Maria Santay, a U.S. citizen and community observer, live-streamed masked ICE agents detaining her after they boxed in her car from all sides and smashed her window. Local police showed up and did nothing.
She was denied access to a restroom, and forced to pee in the parking lot while handcuffed.

The MAGA poor watching their own economic futures collapse believe that as long as they keep giving money to the billionaire class, sooner or later they too will strike it rich.
MAGA people lining up wanting the taxpayers to give them money. Trump wants $10 billion. Lindsey wants $1 million. J6ers want money. Farmers want money. Of course CEOs want their contracts,
