A shadow network in Minneapolis defies ICE and protects immigrants
If there’s been a soundtrack to life in Minneapolis in recent weeks, it’s the shrieking whistles and honking horns of thousands of people following immigration agents across the city.

Masking is not about doxing. That is the excuse. They are wearing masks so people cannot identify agents who engage in abuses, civil rights violations, and crimes. You can’t report someone or hold them accountable in any way if you can’t identify them.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Today’s news story from @kimsiever.bsky.social

Alberta’s hospital bed per capita rate plummeted since 2009

It’s fallen so much, that we’d need over 1,800 more acute care beds to get caught up to where we were 16 years ago. No wonder our health system is a mess.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Danielle Smith's willingness to cater to Alberta separatists was always a dangerous game.

Now, in the wake of America's attack on Venezuela and its covetous advances on Greenland, she's effectively risking Canada's future in order to save her own. #cdnpoli

Danielle Smith's separatism games are coming at a dangerous moment
Alberta's premier loves to talk about standing up for her province. Will she ever show the same enthusiasm when it comes to Canada?

This is VERY interesting. I was told that Nathan Neudorf wasn’t a separatist. Fucking liars.

They give you the tools to send them an email about this.

Use your memberships and money.

Join organizations that defend democratic norms.

Cancel business with those that openly attack them.

Even small donations to local media, NGOs, and community groups matter.

Subscribe to news organizations that are investigating the backsliding.

“The decision to override Charter rights fails this test.”

The Anglican, Lutheran and United Churches in Alberta have written to Danielle Smith condemning her use of the notwithstanding clause to punch down on the vulnerable Albertans.
