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.

WTF?! The GOP’s “Save America Act” (previously just “SAVE”) requires that states implement voter purge programs using programs such as the “SAVE” system, which consistently marks citizens as noncitizens, per this report by ProPublica & Texas Tribune. The Act imposes *no penalty* 4 faulty purges. 1/

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

Uganda's strict abortion law leads to high maternal mortality due to unsafe abortion - which is almost entirely preventable if abortion was decriminalized and made available free and on request. Yet advocates continue to call for more contraceptive use and education, and rarely for legal reform.

First they said critical ICE detention footage was "destroyed." Then, lost in a system crash. Then, never recorded.

Now, in the latest court docs, it shows the federal government lost three hard drives it was supposed to put footage on in a case where ICE detainees say they faced inhumane abuse.
Government Loses Hard Drives It Was Supposed to Put ICE Detention Center Footage On
A Kafkaesque saga in which the government has failed to produce critical video footage has reached new levels of absurdity.

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.

The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.”

The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there.

Here's what DHS doesn't want you to know: Working for ICE is one of the safest jobs in America — and last year was the second-safest year for the agency on record.

And the doxxing? It hasn't actually happened even once.

As ICE and CBP testify in Congress, we have updated our tracker of deaths at the hands of immigration enforcers. 25 have been killed with another 18 seriously injured, and there have also been 44 deaths in ICE/CBP custody.

@ualberta.bsky.social Pres, Bill Flanagan, is quite the lapdog for my UCP.

First, he helped EDM police forcibly remove peaceful pro-Palestine protestors. Now, he reaches out to my UCP before killing DEI policies!

How's that for institutional neutrality?
