Today we (@propublica.org) published this map of every location with an active 287(g) agreement with ICE. (with the help of @tituslegaldesign.com's initial data analysis). Read the story: "The Small-Town Cop Who Helped ICE Deport His Ingram, Texas, Neighbors" www.propublica.org/article/depo...

He did not compromise with fascists. This seems virtually inconceivable to Canadian politicians.
It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

"Digital crimes must be dealt with like real life crimes." Canada, anyone?
In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

The contrast between the rhetoric and record is particularly striking given cancelling a scheduled minimum wage increase, eliminating paid sick days, attacking collective bargaining rights, and pursuing privatization across public services. www.readthemaple.com/is-doug-ford...

The Heritage Foundation adviser who recruited 12 bishops to pray over Trump in the Oval Office claimed a Ph.D. from an Italian university that doesn’t grant doctorates. His listed bachelor’s school is a high school. A Vatican official called the meeting an insult to Pope Leo XIV.
Eby should become a new cdnpoli term, for a pol both unutterably thick and insufferably opportunistic.
Lorne Doerkson is the new premier of British Columbia. David Eby announced his resignation as BC NDP leader. And BC Greens leader Emily Lowan won her seat on Vancouver Island. #BCPoli thetyee.ca/News/2026/10...

reliance on starlink is a national security threat for every country, including the united states, where musk would absolutely use it to sabotage the foreign policy of a dem president it must be replaced posthaste
The White House says the malicious manipulation of Ukrainian access to StarLink and StarShield is over. Zelenskyy says it continues. And Zelenskyy, of course, is correct.

Crazy this is not obvious to Wall Street: every democracy saw what Musk did to Ukraine last week and confirmed security need for Starlink alternative. Those alternatives will not just serve defense needs, but also be viable commercial alternatives, crushing any hope of SpaceX's monopoly projections.

I think it's clarifying when they say it out loud. When we say these people prefer fascism to even minor socialism, even as a necessary corrective to fascist overreach, we're told that's just conspiracism. So, here we are, with them saying it out loud. Pin it.

Worth reading the whole thread to learn how the propaganda sausage gets paid for. Esp. relevant given what we've learned recently about US efforts in AB, SK, and QC to encourage separatist movements. Also tells us Schiff can't be trusted and should be disregarded by Canadians; he's fully on board.
In an interesting coincidence, Abby Ronson, whose consulting firm Convergence Media has been paid $4 million+ by the Mike Rogers campaign, is also the owner of a Google doc announcing the "Democrats for Mike Rogers" effort, and appears to be posting the same screenshots as the @DemsForMike account.
