“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.
I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.
Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

There is definitely no reason to assume that [Russian drones violating Polish airspace] was a matter of course correction errors or anything of that sort. These drones were quite obviously deliberately directed on this course.

ICE smash windshield of Connecticut man with legal work permit—then he's chased, tased & shoved bleeding into unmarked car.
Despite demanding a warrant & explaining his daughter was bringing his papers.
Took him anyway—left wrecked truck in street for his daughter to deal with.

If you want a COVID-19 vaccine in Alberta this is what you now need to do:
1. "Pre-order" by Sept. 30: bookvaccine.alberta.ca/vaccine/s/pr...
2. In the fall, remember to book a public health clinic appointment. (No more pharmacy shots.)
3. Pay. (Prices not yet announced.)
4. Attend appointment.

Our national parks are in trouble.
Since Trump returned to office, the National Park Service has lost nearly a quarter of its full-time staff. That’s thousands of people who used to care for trails, run visitor centers, respond to emergencies, and protect the land, gone.

Local officials have a knack for blaming the National Weather Service when tragic weather occurs.
The NWS did a great job forecasting and warning this event. It’s was to try to spin things to fit a narrative when you don’t understand the forecast/warning process.
Yes we need to fund the NWS.

After media reports & experts warned for months that drastic & sudden cuts at the Nat Weather Service by Trump could impair their forecasting ability & endanger lives during the storm season, TX officials blame an inaccurate forecast by NWS for the deadly results of the flood.
