The potential ban of Kneecap from Canada is against our country’s claimed values. How can we claim to be moving away from colonialism in Canada if we ban musicians for opposing it in Ireland? If an indigenous band in Canada said this, would we charge them? #kneecap globalnews.ca/news/1146164...

It’s shocking that we introduce people to body horror at a young age with the “I’ve got your nose” ‘prank’.

It’s sad how Trump can destroy something that’s been there for centuries in a moment, and then it’s gone forever.

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

Why travel to the United States? It’s not safe to go there. There are plenty of tropical or semitropical destinations where one can escape Canadian winters.

Don’t be fooled by republican propaganda. All they’ve done is admitted their plan was to attack transgender people, and everything else they’ve said is a lie. They haven’t gotten rid of them, they just made it dangerous not to hide. #lgtbq #transrightsarehumanrights

Wow. The cops are keeping the people safe there.

So they are basically looking for any reason to arrest protestors

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

You can't win when the facts of the case include: POTUS "has publicly stated that the layoffs will be ‘a lot’ & that they ‘will be Democrat oriented, because we figure, you know, they started this thing, so they should be Democrat-oriented.’” open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
