good quote from the ethicist there. "until equal opportunity to live with dignity is assured, death with dignity is not a real choice"
it is off-putting, of course, but rather than frightening this kind of hate always strikes me as deeply pathetic.

The workers saw how their united struggle forced the abandonment of hypocritical police lies…They understood who was their real foe when they, who were not violating law and order, had the troops and police sent against them, just as though they were the country’s enemies.

When people are afraid to go to work, afraid to shop, or afraid to gather in their community, it hurts families, neighborhoods, and our entire economy.
If you can, show up for a small business and let’s continue to show the nation what it means to respond with care and decency.

34,000 signing up for this work AFTER seeing their fellow citizens gunned down by federal thugs in cold blood? I'm chugging whatever the opposite of doomerism is
More than 34,000 Minnesotans signed up to be trained as ICED observers with various activist groups in recent weeks, many of them since Jan. 7, when a federal agent shot and killed Renée Good.
Thousands of new ICE watchers hit the streets after two killings
Minnesotans outraged by the killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti have signed up in large numbers to monitor and protest ICE with other activists.

Openly bragging about implementing Poilievre's agenda for him is not the PR tactic i'd go for, personally
Pierre Poilievre has had two decades to turn words into action — and he has less to show than Mark Carney in a year.

This came in the same budget that axed a luxury tax on yachts. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...
Canada will require refugees and asylum seekers to co-pay for health care starting in May
They will have to pay 30 per cent of the costs of services such as dental, optometry and physiotherapy and a $4 flat rate on each prescription.

Everything the Trump admin(inc. ICE) does revolves around a single question: What're you gonna do about it?
We can ignore laws. We can kidnap & kill citizens. We can kidnap foreign leaders. Who's gonna stop us? What're you gonna do about it?
This works right up until that question gets answered.

to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you!

I agree—the man is a hero. He had foresight, could quickly see how the situation might have played out. No good would have come from making Lang a martyr for his “cause.” Although I’m not there and it’s easy for me to say this, don’t give the dictator what he wants.
