Trump’s back to threatening 100% tariffs on Canada this morning, wow I can’t imagine why the Canadians now see the Chinese as a more reliable trade partner

Carney’s Davos speech, whew.
It’s interesting to me how much Trump’s commitment to ostentatious lies has led to the rest of the world shedding polite fictions, & Carney stating outright that “international law applied with varying rigour depending on the identity of the accused or the victim”

- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

there are different sections here and there that have been understandably criticized but the actual battle of baktan cross is where one battle after another just lifts off and reaches transcendence. this is what it's like to live here now.

Asking the ICE agent beating a guy up on the pavement to hold still so I can scan his QR code that he was required to wear instead of a badge that can simply be read
I am introducing the Quick Recognition (QR) Act, which requires ICE and CBP officers to wear uniforms featuring QR codes. When scanned, the code would generate a digital ID displaying the officer’s name, badge number, and law enforcement agency.
ICE should be unmasked both physically and digitally.
