Several of us went to Broadview tonight to scope out the situation for ourselves. What we witnessed was a completely peaceful—even uneventful—protest/gathering, until the exact moment ICE unleashed a totally unprovoked and unwarranted tear-gas attack.

The one thing that every Canadian knows - if you are confronted by ICE you don't ever slam on the brakes.
You put both hands on the wheel and drive right over ICE.

really does feel like if we can cyberbully the House into passing changes on the shit they openly hate and get it kicked back upstairs again there’s a chance it might not survive the Senate a second time

The package now goes to the House who is expected to vote on it this week. Any changes to the bill in the House will force the Senate to take up the bill again.
The current bill as written raises the debt limit by $5 trillion.

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

Note from a human rights lawyer to members of the U.S. military: If directed to execute illegal orders, remember, declaring “I was just following orders” was not a valid defense during the Nuremberg trials, & it won’t be here either.

With Musk gone, it’s time to start irritating Trump with “Stephen Miller is the person actually running the country.” Miller has survived longer than anyone in Trump’s orbit, so he’s clearly learned how to stroke Trump’s ego. But it can’t hurt to try.
It also appears to be true. Terrifyingly so.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

So glad to hear him say what so many of us are thinking!!
Pritzker invokes his own Jewish background in responding to Trump:
"Stop tearing down the Constitution in the name of my ancestors. Do not claim that your authoritarian power grabs are about anti-semitism. When you destroy social justice, you are disparaging the very foundation of Judaism."

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

6 weeks ago today, planes flew a few hundred people to El Salvador, where they’re being held at CECOT — a place from which Salvadoran officials brag no one is ever released — at US expense.
Their continued detention there is our continued shame.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

90% of the people sent to El Salvador had no criminal record.
100% of them were sent there without due process.
