I predict Bondi will go to jail way before any other name in the Epstein files, making it TWO WOMEN in jail before any of the men even go to trial. I'm not complaining, just predicting. Fuck the patriarchy.

Evan Duncan’s intent is to limit protest. He wants to be able to do what Trump is doing without the dissent. That’s why he’s proposed the most extreme version of this by-law in all of Canada.
Evan Duncan on 680, paraphrased: We don’t want to see the kind of protests we are seeing south of the border.
Does he mean the protests against Trump and ICE? Yeah, wouldn’t want the public holding the government accountable for its actions. Sounds awful. www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...

Everyday I open social media hoping for some incredible news of arrest or better for the people in the Epstein files, but I'm not sure what I actually see is good for my mental health. Just more of the same. Can you all just light up a sign in the sky for me if it happens?

Whoa, they let a "real" Christian into the Prayer Breakfast?
wow -- with Trump standing behind him, a man (not sure who he is) offers this prayer: "We pray that he would be mindful of the poor and that he would be invested in the alleviation of suffering happening in the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis."

This is a true story. While travelling, one time I told someone I bike everywhere in Winnipeg and they said "oh, do you know Dave?" and I'm like, please, like do you think just because I ride a bike I know everyone who rides a bike? And yes, I know Dave, so what? @daveelmore12.bsky.social
Cyclist who lives in city of over 3 million does in fact know your friend who rides a bike there too.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.
The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Thinking of all of our friends in the Twin Cities at this moment. What has always stood out to us during our time there and in frequent conversation with our fellow advocates is that what makes Minnesota special are the people. That's never been more clear than right now.

This is Minneapolis:
I have been to two churches this weekend (for mutual aid work).
I am an atheist and cannot remember the last time I went to a church (except funerals).
Minneapolis religious leaders and communities are stepping up with supporting our neighbors.

My heart hurts for my neighbours to the immediate South. Big hugs to you. I wish there was more we could do.
You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

In Life After Cars, the writers talk about how driving a car is associated with masculinity, and riding a bike is "female." That's not their opinion, rather one of the biases that lead to the aggression cyclists endure. This notion lives rent-free in my head (cont) @sgoodyear.bsky.social
