ICYMI: The US is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939 — six years into the Third Reich, and just before the start of World War II.

At first, I thought you meant this metaphorically but apparently not. Always excited to read your stuff, alter ego or not.

In Davos, the message was that the US under Trump - and Rubio - had demolished the rules based order, & nothing is normal anymore.
Today, the message is we're embracing & working closely with those same guys who demolished the rules based order, as if it was normal.

I know I’m late to this but…I really liked this. It’s a bit more uptempo and reminded me of Robbie Robertson (complimentary). He’s 2 for 2 so far with this album.

the $75 million Jeff Bezos set on fire for that Melania propaganda piece could have funded most independent newsrooms for literally decades
always bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post
WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Post says one-third of its staff across all departments, not just the newsroom, is being laid off.

Most Canadians don't share the same values, if we did there'd be no political parties because everyone would believe society should be structured the exact same way. So when people talk about "Canadian" values, they're talking about their own values while assuming their values are the standard.

Instead of punching down at hardworking newcomers, we need to tax the rich and fully fund the universal public healthcare system that everyone in Canada deserves.

Canada cannot fund, arm, or legitimize ICE.
I’ve written to PM Carney calling for sanctions, export bans, cancelled subsidies, and the closure of ICE offices in Canada. Fascist violence and human rights abuses demand action, not silence.

Ballad of Wallis Island was probably my favourite film of last year so I’m happy to see it getting some Bafta love.
Bafta has caught the zeitgeist with One Battle After Another, but let’s hear it for The Ballad of Wallis Island

I don’t think an endorsement from a Premier who cut welfare rates and demonized those on social assistance is something to advertise.
