Mark Carney is quietly giving sweeping new powers to his ministers — Toronto Star

In Minnesota police set up a sting operation to catch child sex traffickers.
They caught 16 men. No immigrants. No trans people. All US Citizen Men.
One was an ICE fascist who said, "I'm ICE boys" when arrested, perhaps expecting to get special attention. He was arrested anyway.
So much winning.
