The U.S. is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939—six years into the Third Reich and just before the start of World War II.

Von Der Leyen made a defining speech for Europe in Davos but Carney was of epochal importance. And it went whoosh over Don Dementia who wouldn't have understood a word of it.

OPINION: From my Christian tradition, what we are seeing in Minnesota looks like a Matthew 25 movement, answering Jesus’ call to serve and protect the most vulnerable.

Mourning in Minnesota
(RNS) — America is witnessing more than an immigration enforcement surge — we are witnessing an escalation of unchecked federal force that is deadly.

"Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him. Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the Nobel Prize."

“When he realized an American response would affect his personal financial interests, Trump abandoned any pretense of caring and moved on with his bellicose bluster to attacking Minneapolis.” open.substack.com/pub/noelcasl...
'Cold as ICE'
Folks wonder how Donald Trump could stand there, smiling his empty smile, and accept a Nobel Peace Prize he himself hadn’t won.

Carney should bring back the Digital Services Tax asap.

US tech oligarchies extract huge revenues from the Canadian economy while undermining our democracy and independence.
When countries get hooked on US tech, their governments are constrained in reining in tech’s harms while most of the economic benefits accrue to the United States.

It’s time to break out of that trap — but that means challenging the Silicon Valley model, not creating our own digital colonizers.

Steven Isserlis, one of the world’s most celebrated concert cellists, often has nightmares about his instrument. Losing it. Leaving it somewhere. The strings falling off without warning. The 300-year-old cello is worth millions of British pounds. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/Wkn2Ll

What's wrong with Americans? Trump is a mobster traitor with dementia. Everyone outside the US can see that. Why can't you?

There it is. The US is now a dictatorship.
🚨ALARM: Karoline Leavitt lays groundwork for Trump invoking the INSURRECTION ACT ahead of the midterms.

“The Insurrection Act is a tool at the president’s disposal. Democrats are deranged in their hatred for President Trump.”

This is the exact scenario people warned about.

ICE Agitators win if they enrage you away from peaceful protest

Trump’s Plan is to…
1️⃣ Deploy ICE into "blue cities"
2️⃣ Exaggerate scale & severity
3️⃣ Deploy National Guard
4️⃣ Invoke Insurrection Act

ICE has to be and will be abolished. Just like the Royal Ulster Constabulary did, it has lost all trust as an agency of law enforcement in the community.
