This level of depravity is monstrous.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Cause having Republicans in those seats would’ve made things better?
I support RCV and proportional representation. I also live in reality — and until we get RCV and PR, I’ll be supporting the party that didn’t dispatch a masked Gestapo to harass my community.

While Kevin O'Leary -- who imagined himself a Canadian Donald Trump but was laughed out of the Conservative Party leadership race -- simps for Trump and sneers at his country, Arlene Dickinson, businessperson and the real star of Dragon's Den, tells it exactly as it is.
Seriously, you should read this. Great Canadian businessperson (and Dragons Den star) @arlenedickinson.bsky.social tells the blunt truth about Trump.

“IOC disqualifies Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych over helmet.”
A helmet.
Honouring victims of an illegal war and genocide.
That’s not “politics.” That’s basic human morality. That’s grief. Sadly that’s Ukrainian life and culture now.
Shame on you IOC.

They not only failed to get an indictment, they failed to get a single grand juror’s vote. It’s probable that this has never happened before.
Likely because the DOJ has never sent hack political appointees to attempt to get indictments on sitting Congress members over protected speech before.
