I can appreciate as a Canadian that school shootings are so rare that the prime minister suspends his entire schedule over this tragedy.
Just now from Carney’s PMO:
Please note: In light of Tuesday’s tragic events in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, the Prime Minister’s previously announced schedule has been suspended. Details to follow.

DOJ trying to indict opposition lawmakers for accurately stating the law is an authoritarian weaponization of the justice system.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.
Building the camps
The warehouseification of detention and initial thoughts on stopping it.

I really feel like: Donald Trump is building a prison camp system on the scale of Hitler, Stalin, and Mao … would be a good and true headline to run every day. Advertisements across media. Speeches on the Senate. Everywhere.

Trump’s family is billions of dollars richer than last year. The average American family? They’re worse off.
Trump’s top priority has always been himself. If he spent half as much time actually being President as he has profiting off his presidency, the story might be different.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

I know it’s not very good and I know that Hepburn and Mitchum didn’t get along, but I’m going to watch it again anyway.

This is a humiliating rebuke for this frail, paranoid regime of bumbling, arrogant fascist perverts
Breaking News: Prosecutors failed to secure an indictment against six Democrats who posted a video reminding members of the military to refuse illegal orders.
Prosecutors Fail to Bring Charges Against Democrats Involved in Illegal Orders Video
The rejection was a remarkable rebuke, suggesting that ordinary citizens did not believe that the lawmakers had committed any crimes.
