In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows: An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

Amid the election noise I missed this: Rachel posted this a day a go, it hit r/Fauxmoi and since then Jamroz appears to have stepped down from ROM already. We have got to make it unpalatable for anyone to be part of this travesty.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Stick a fork in the rule of law; she done.

“.. judging only from price action, we are suddenly witnessing a comprehensive turn away from US assets (stocks, USTs, corporate credit and the dollar). this is the single most important theme to monitor over coming weeks. .. for the moment capital is flowing out of the US.” - GS Desk/Pasquariello

It's simple. The NDP are the only party that can beat Aaron Gunn and the CPC in our riding. Tell your friends. #DroptheGunn #ComoxValley #CampbellRiver #canpoli

Turns out Ireland could single-handedly put a stop to this entire nonsense.

“What did they expect?” is kind of a misleading question. The people who supported them didn’t expect something very specific. They expected to own the libs. They expected people they resented to suffer. The expected the world to burn. It wasn’t about specifics.

Today marks 40 years since Canada's Supreme Court said the Charter of Rights and Freedoms applies to everyone physically present within Canada - including asylum-seekers. decisions.scc-csc.ca/scc-csc/scc-...

It sure looks like they’re going all in on the “the executive branch can ignore court orders if it thinks the court lacks jurisdiction” thing

BREAKING: Md federal Judge Paula Xinis GRANTS preliminary injunction, rules from the bench that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was apprehended "without legal basis" and removed to El Salvador illegally, "without any legal process." He's to be returned to the U.S. by 11:59 on Monday, 4/7.

my reflexive need to respond with "i'm doing great, how are you?" when I really don't care to inquire at all is my daily undoing.

Don’t forget bigoted, too.

Cory Booker about to explain his favourite Severance season 3 theory any moment now. Or maybe Choreography and Merriment will take to the Senate floor.

People have been talking for years about the 4 chan to mainstream culture pipeline and this is what was always going to be the end state.

I thought he was one of the smart ones. Apparently, nope.

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century." snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

Canada should be rolling out the red carpet for all the scientists and academics who need to flee …

The author of this piece is an American photo journalist who has been embedded in El Salvador. Reading this piece is frightening and it should be. It's who we are in danger of becoming. time.com/7269604/el-s...

BREAKING— Trump’s executive order dismantling the US Dept. of Education just dropped. “Closure of the Department of Education would drastically improve program implementation in higher education.”

The us travel boycott is really kicking in. Not only is the plaza premium lounge at Gate E not at max capacity, but there are clean, comfy seats available during the mid day lunch rush. 😅

That’s a 14% swing - completely unsurprising tho. #elbowsup

You don’t know who we just disappeared to El Salvador. Think about that.

A reminder in dark times: kindness, mercy, decency, and respect towards the least of us enrages Trumpists. It burns them. It’s like a mirror that shows them how they fall short of humanity. Kindness and decency towards the people Trumpists hate is not just right; it torments Trumpists.

Working in immigration law is like people finding out the Mad King is feeding his enemies to a secret minotaur hidden under the Palace and you need to explain that, no, you knew about the minotaur and the feeding has happened for years but it used to be decided by lots who got fed to him.

The same people that did their research on vaccines and fluoride are now bringing their intellect to bear on the topic of flavour profiles of non-Kentucky bourbon.

Pretty sure Thom was singing about perimenopause on Let Down: And one day I am gonna grow wings A chemical reaction (You know where you are) Hysterical and useless #radiohead #peri #meno

WTF?!? Elon Musk reposted this on X before quietly deleting it: “Stalin, Mao, and Hitler didn’t murder millions of people. Their public sector employees did.”

So far I’m learning weed, cheezies, cheese and maple syrup are Canadian. I think we’re gonna be ok.

Um, no. Not US =/= good. Here’s a radical boycott strategy: go hyper local as much as you can. Embrace the 100 mile diet. Eat seasonal produce. And consume less of everything else as much as possible. Even outside of the Trump-induced end times, it’s the right thing to do.

Why does this sorta have WMDs in Iraq energy?
