Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

Canada is gearing up for a trade war, aiming straight at Trump’s supporters. By focusing on goods from Republican and swing states, they plan to inflict pain where it counts, making his allies pay the price for their loyalty to a failed leader. 👏 www.nytimes.com/2025/01/17/w...

In Georgia, a mom facing eviction reached out to DFCS for help. They offered her nothing. Soon the agency took her kids away because of "inadequate housing."

The state then paid *$6,200 a month* to house her kids in foster care.

One of the most important and infuriating stories I read this year:
When Families Need Housing, Georgia Will Pay for Foster Care Rather Than Provide Assistance
In more than 700 cases over five years, Georgia reported inadequate housing as the sole reason for taking a child into foster care, a WABE and ProPublica analysis found. Advocates say it would be chea...

This is insane:

Edmonton Police authorized a *7 month* surveillance operation targeting a journalist critical of police and followed his family doing mundane things

Freddy Mercury died of AIDS 33 years ago today. With modern medical technology, he likely would have lived. Never forget how much progress against major infectious disease has been made in a short time. We are at risk now of rolling back much of that progress.

The culture here makes it possible.

After Jan 6th I privately confronted Mace for lying about my story bc she too was terrified in her office.

I said as another assault survivor you know how harmful what you did is. Why? She said “whatever you know it’s a game, just points on the board”

Uhh no???

Pierre Poilievre sure loves FREEDOM (as long as its his own were talking about)!
Poilievre had them arrested and charged, but he had no problem with the convoy protestors with their hateful messaging attacking the PM and blocking roadways, highways, bridges, downtown Ottawa.

Funny that right, if it is against him he will have you arrested.

He will run Canada like that to.

The elusive deep-water oarfish – considered to be a harbinger of bad news – was spotted yet again on the shores of Encinitas, California. It was the state’s third spotting of the species in the last three months, and only the 22nd over the past century.
The ‘doomsday fish’ returns to California shores for the second time this year. Scientists don’t know why. | CNN
Considered to be the origin of the sea serpent tale, giant oarfish are a species yet to be largely researched by scientists.
