Under Putin, queer rights and representation in Russia were outlawed in 2013. In 2014, he annexed Crimea.

Under Trump, queer rights and representation in America are under attack, and he's out to conquer the hemisphere.

Canada funding cozy queer smut like Heated Rivalry is vital national defense.

“In Minneapolis…residents are mired in paranoia as they face what many here feel is an occupation.”

@premthakker.bsky.social traveled to Minneapolis to witness the aftermath of Renee Good’s killing and this is what he saw.

And so, yet again, the federal Conservative party is coming out swinging against a deal that is supported by western Conservative Premiers.

Poilievre is like a video game character that only has an "attack" button. He is just hopelessly outmatched here.

Annnnnnd there's the inevitable fundraising email from Pierre Poilievre whipping his base into a conspiratorial frenzy over Carney using the term "New World Order"
Email subject: Carney's new world order from: Team Pierre < notice@conservative.ca> 2:52 PM (15 minutes ago) "Friend, you are not going to believe this... Mark Carney hasn't even been Prime Minister for a year, and he's already gone from saying China was Canada's 'biggest security threat' before the election to announcing a 'strategic partnership' with Beijing after the election. And if that wasn't enough, he's talking about setting Canada and China up "for the new world order." Help us stop Carney's "new world order" with a donation right now! To seal the deal with Beijing, he's bringing in 50,000 Chinese EVs that will function like roving surveillance systems on our streets. They will collect data, track Canadians and expose us to a foreign regime - an unacceptable national security threat. It's time for Canadians to have a government that will put our country first and protect our security, our jobs and our sovereignty. But we can only fight back with your help."

The name of the game is "Quarantine America".

We gotta all just figure out how to exist around them until they sort out their embarrassing fascism outbreak. And then keep them at arms length for the next few generations.

The EU making a free trade deal with Mercosur and opening the path to more Chinese electric vehicle sales.

Canada buying more cars from Mexico and South Korea while also cutting a deal for Chinese EVs.

The world didn't stop because the US threw a tantrum. Mostly just pushed others closer together.

"ICE as a federal jobs guarantee for otherwise-unemployable violent racists and domestic abusers" continues to be one of the more salient analyses of the era.

I've been wondering how much the ICE terror campaign in Minneapolis has been permeating Canadian media and public consciousness, especially considering the ongoing Meta news blockade. Glad to see Canadian journalists reporting from the front.

Glad to see genuine progress here. Carney can negotiate well with people who actually negotiate. Good deal for Canadian consumers and climate and canola. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Canada has agreed to allow 49k Chinese EVs into the Canadian market, with the most-favored-nation tariff rate of 6.1%.
As Canada intends to double its energy grid capacity and move towards clean power, the prime minister also welcomed China to invest in his country in these areas.

The countries that thrive (and survive) going forward are going to be the countries that eliminate their dependence on the US.

Very glad that our PM understands that.

Mark Carney basically explaining that the US under Trump is destabilising the world and that a new world order for trade is being created

Don't Americans understand how much damage Trump is doing to the international world order, and that it'll take years to repair and rebuild relations of trust?

Pretty messed up how the coverage on CBC right now is like 90% "waiting to see if Trump decides to nuke us over the China Deal".

I definitely let my expectations for this trip drift a little too high, but luckily it looks like the PM nailed it!

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.

He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.
By Douglas MacMillan When U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced the Jan. 3 death of detainee Geraldo Lunas Campos at a Texas detention camp, the agency said “staff observed him in distress,” and it gave no cause of death. An employee of El Paso County’s Office of the Medical Examiner told Lunas Campos’s daughter this week that, subject to results of a toxicology report, the office is likely to classify the death as a homicide, according to a recording of the conversation. In the recording, which the daughter shared with The Washington Post, the employee said a doctor there “is listing the preliminary cause of death as asphyxia due to neck and chest compression,” which means Lunas Campos did not get enough oxygen because of pressure on his neck and chest. Pending the results of a toxicology report, the staffer said on the recording, “our doctor is believing that we’re going to be listing the manner of death as homicide.” In an interview with The Post, Santos Jesus Flores, a man who says he was detained in the segregation unit the day Lunas Campos died, said he saw at least five guards struggling with Lunas Campos after he refused to enter the segregation unit, complaining that he didn’t have his medications. Flores said he saw guards choking Lunas Campos and heard Lunas Campos repeatedly saying, “No puedo respirar” — Spanish for “I can’t breathe.” Medical staff tried to resuscitate him for an hour, after which they took his body away, Flores said. “He said, ‘I cannot breathe, I cannot breathe.’ After that, we don’t hear his voice anymore and that’s it,” said Flores, who had contacted a family member of Lunas Campos, who in turn put him in touch with a Post reporter. The Post confirmed Flores was in Camp East Montana through ICE’s detainee locator.
