It's hilarious that they're pretending Tom Homan is some kind of voice of calm and reason. He looks and sounds like someone who would be hitting Dick Tracy's knees with a hammer

So many of the people I agree with on most everything else seem to believe in a redemptionless world and I just can't live like that. Maybe it's a naive holdover from the faith I left behind. I don't know. But I have to believe that people can genuinely change. I do believe that.

IL congresswoman Delia Ramirez addressing now the crowd as well, calling attendees freedom fighters.
Just to give a sense of scale for how many people are out here in the snow and cold, this is just the outer fringe of one half of a block of Congress Plaza, which is completely full.

Canadians, I know you feel helpless too, and I know you care. Find an organization that means something to you and show your support. The fight against fascism is a borderless one. mspmag.com/arts-and-cul...

Seeing what's going on in Minnesota is horrible. Most of us Winnipeggers have a pretty close kinship with folks there, especially in Minneapolis. All the love to the city and to hell with ICE.

Lifelong Albertan here. Pro-separatism typically polls at 30% at the highest. Bitching and moaning about the federal government is an irritating local pastime, sure, but most of us are firmly Canadian, and many conservatives in this province loathe the current U.S. government.
Bessent pushes Albertan independence from Canada: "Albertans are very independent people. There's a rumor they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not. People are talking. People want sovereignty. They want what the US has got."
