"ICE and CBP goons, balaclavas emphasizing the penis-like nature of their heads, have descended on New Orleans," @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social writes.
But the city is pissed off and fighting back, chasing the feds and holding protests almost daily.

New Orleans is watching you
As the feds chase immigrants, a city chases the feds.

I was at the Research Library when I got the news. Walked home 5 km in a rage.
Tomorrow marks two years since the Israeli military killed beloved Palestinian professor, writer, and activist Refaat Alareer in an airstrike on his sister’s home.

Trump promised free plane tickets and $1,000 “exit bonuses” to immigrants who opted to self-deport.

The reason you don't do this is that accepting this premise validates the bad faith indictment of the vast majority of the most informed anti-genocide solidarity activists in Toronto on the false charge of antisemitism. This not only harms the movement but debases the meaning of antisemitism itself.
Take the criticism or leave it, Scott. I'm not gonna give you minute-by-minute annotation, but this detail is particularly important because, along with your validation of Brown's premise that antisemitism in his conception is a major problem in Canada, this framed the entire interview.

Athena Niggenaber, verified islamophobe, HAS STILL NOT BEEN CHARGED by the Toronto Police Service. That is a deeply f*cked up thing.
Zionist power is so real that you can drive a tractor through a group of Palestinians while giving them the middle finger, and the cops won't do shit.

The TPS are not charging or identifying this woman. She drove a tractor through a crowd of 300 protesters. A very unlikely story has been offered by the city and the police: it was a sidewalk snow plowing practice run by a toronto contractor. Look at this pic, tell me she's a snow plow operator.

Wow, another update to the Therme Ontario Place scandal, this time in the NYT. Despite Therme's claims of running multiple spas around the world, it only operate one, in Romania. It benefits from being confused with a totally different company also called Therme, which runs spas in Germany.

Hey @nolore.bsky.social
Was curious about this framing. Seems to elide the fact that the Israeli military was responsible for a significant portion of those casualties and also to tacitly affirm the false narrative that insists on positing the al-Aqsa flood as THE instigating action
