It would be simpler and more concise to just call him a lunatic.
Vans full of handcuffed kids. Just arrived. Los Angeles, Ca Federal Building Tonight, 7/12
Are you noticing how many of Carney’s align with Trump? #cdnpoli www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
A story in three parts.
There are so many in that party determined to miss the moment
After he did such a great job of not leaking the attack plans...
I'd wager that the majority are verbal "assaults."
Truly wild photos coming in from Los Angeles right now.
You can thank the LAPD for creating some of the most iconic protest imagery we’ve seen in a generation
It's not unheard of. Quality of the fake will reveal a lot.
Not unheard of
That was my first thought when Krasnov announced his parade.
Free enterprise, baby!
I don’t know what to say
I want to know when it goes up for sale...
He got shot in the head by a tear gas canister, but @acatwithnews.bsky.social reported on three days of escalation and violence by the feds in Los Angeles for Hell World anyway. www.welcometohellworld.com/it-is-happen...
Do you have plans when the Emergency Broadcast System announces that America is now under martial law if not start making them now. Get ready be prepared.
You're right that the black bloc weren't representative. They were a fraction of the overall assembly, but we all got sprayed.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.
Dollar store Castro says what?
Can it really pay enough..? 🤣
We're about to find out which side the military chooses.
Good morning 🦋
“You’re going to see more work site enforcement than you’ve ever seen in the history of this nation. We’re going to flood the zone.” What set off the clashes in LA? Workplace ICE raids—from Home Depot to the garment district—as the Trump administration seeks to increase deportations at all costs.
It was the concept of a plan for a deal.
The city of Glendale, in Los Angeles County, announced today that they're quitting an agreement with ICE thad allowed ICE to house its detainees at the Glendale police department. mynewsla.com/crime/2025/0...
That's entertainment 😂
You're late, Queen

ICE crossed a line in LA
This one is brilliant!
Different countries, same playbook.
They're poised to invoke the Insurrection Act.
If you really want to drive the point home about how fucked up ICE is then people should start forcing Star Wars themes on ICE. Protesters should start playing the imperial march whenever ICE shows up and should also start dressing like the rebel alliance.
Great score Pitt.
And ignorance!
Please enjoy my cartoon for Wednesday's Toronto Star
Who could have seen that coming?
NEW: Abrego Garcia is getting a lot of attention, but many people are asking about the rest of the men being unlawfully held in CECOT. Here's what's going on with them. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/so-what-ab...

Poilievre rushed to safety after actual journalist question makes it past security
Oreo for short??
The perfect poetic legacy!
Cam Ward, without a doubt
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney: "We answered the call to defeat fascism. We know we are not always perfect, but we always strive to be good. We do not do things because they are easy, but because they are right. We will rise to meet this challenge, and we will emerge stronger."
PM Mark Carney points out the violations already committed by the Trump administration on the CUSMA agreement re question posed by Tonda McCharles. She's asks a follow-up and he explains very clearly to her that we need to reset the overall relationship with the US. #elxn45
This is one of the finest, albeit lesser known, pieces of writing in American history.
I don't think this photo gets the attention it deserves.
At this point, I just assume that anything on that site is fake.
This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP. It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

"Can't spell tariffs without FFS" is my new fave mnemonic (h/t Catherine Cullen from CBC's The House)
It's suicidal
Not going to make it as a democracy.
Your democracy is evaporating before your eyes. Get radical and stop being Vichy Democrats!
You are not going to have elections for a long time!
It's more of a complete shutdown.
I’ve been saying that. Never mind tariffs, USAID, LGBTQ whatever. It’s all about the #USTreasury.
Where are these well regulated militias I've heard so much about?!
Nothing in his answer suggests 3-D chess. Just say NO!!
The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
Best to stay on the Vichy Dems list!
By his hand!
A reminder of what to look for when buying Canadian. Product of Canada is 98% Canadian.
Vichy Democrats! 🏳
Everything is a protection racket to benefit FOTUS.
Remember when Nixon was the worst of the worst?!
Susan Collins is now concerned. 🙄🇨🇦
An accurate observation of the collective mood of Canadians!!! 😠 #cdnpoli #uspoli 👇
*inch
Whatever you do, don't give airtime to the Queens uni prof who blamed Trudeau. He was on this morning and sounded every in a Quisling.
There's only the brutality of the purge.
It’s worse. Musk control communications to the civil service & the means to make disbursements from the Treasury. It’s a coup.
Whatever is tolerated becomes acceptable.
Finally growing a pair.
I now understand why we have so many stories about people falling asleep and not waking up for a thousand years
Good work, Lauren. Cops can be so dramatic.
Sounds like an admission of guilt.
We can be polite and call them that.
A strong response on Feb 1st is essential. Throttling energy exports should do the trick.
Since the initial plan is to disrupt and destroy, they're fully qualified.
Vichy Democrats!
I really hope that our 🇨🇦 leaders have made it clear that we'll throttle power exports starting Saturday.
A few minor tweaks and it would have worked...
Beyond scrutiny and without any limitations. Sounds like another infamous camp.
I think he captured your character. 👍
I know him a notorious liar, Think him a great way fool, solely a coward; Yet these fix’d evils sit so fit in him, That they take place when virtue’s steely bones Looks bleak i’ th’ cold wind.
It's frightening to acknowledge that this is a sign of our times.
Indeed, and in an obvious manner.
Absolutely a predictor!!
I've finished my journal entry for today. Now it's onto the Handmaid's Tale S2 Ep9
