Trump’s USDA is threatening to withhold food stamp funding for 20 Democrat-controlled states if they don’t share recipients’ sensitive personal data.
Yes: Trump is weaponizing hunger against millions of Americans, including children, to score cheap political points.
The cruelty is endless.

Canada is taking a major step in animal welfare with Bill S-15, a new law that phases out the captivity of great apes and elephants. The bill bans new ownership and restricts their use in performances, allowing exceptions only for welfare, conservation, or scientific purposes.

They've flown people out of this country to Guantanamo and to the torture camp in El Salvador against habeas corpus.
It's no shock to me that the military is following illegal orders in the Caribbean right now.

Meanwhile, Trump is pardoning high level drug traffickers. I guess they can afford to pay his asking price for a pardon. The drug war was always a joke and a societal level entrapment scheme for the poor. These actions just expose our collective hypocrisy, and all it took was one corrupt POTUS.

The U.S. has conducted 19 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing at least 76 people.
Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.
He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
This is a danger to us all.

As set out in this thread, the causes of the court backlog are chronic lack of funding and absurd inefficiency.
The government has made no proposals to address either. Their answer is to remove juries.
Rather than fix the leaking roof, their solution is to burn the house down.

Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇

Labour's MPs are just knee jerk tyrants. Their solution to every problem is suppression of opinion.
Alternatively they could scrap outsourcing in the court systems and use the money to hire enough staff to process cases quickly and democratically.

Stephen Flynn says parliament was aware & it was a big issue pre election
McEvoy says she wasn't in parliament then. Flynn points out Starmer was
