As Trump celebrates his McDonalds Peace Prize and summarily executes people who pose no threat, it is important to understand what the "war on drugs" is really about. Nixon invented the "war" as a weapon to attack the Left and people of color. It's a racist fraud.

A new CNN report uncovers that the IDF knowingly:
•Shot starving Palestinians trying to collect flour
•Bulldozed their bodies into shallow, unmarked graves
•Left them to decompose, scavenged by dogs
•Never documented these murders & tried to hide them
This is what genocide looks like. Horrific.

We all know that ICE is violating human rights in the U.S.
But did you know a Canadian company is profiting off ICE? And that this same company has been ramping up its lobbying efforts?
Now, in my latest for @thetyee.ca, the government won't tell me if this is a red line for procurement:

The CEOs of both Ford and Stellantis, who are there to celebrate the rollback of vehicle emissions standards (which will drive climate change), are standing right behind Trump as he makes these racist comments.
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

This is a nonsense take. There's this perception that schools are filled with people smirking their way into accommodations. But as someone who needed learning accommodations since I was a teen I can tell you, people aren't doing that.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.
