worth remembering that when Trump announced a travel ban in 2017, people literally went to airports to protest. Eight years later, Trump announces a new one and it's not even front page news.
We're the frogs and the water is getting awfully hot.
I am a faithful listener from 🇨🇦 of the Newshour on BBC World Service, excellent show
Trump has ordered the US government to move forward with plans to mine the ocean floor an area nearly every other country considers off-limits to industrial exploitation. His executive order sidesteps a decades-old international treaty ratified by every major coastal nation except the United States.
The first question we need to ask is why Trump wants to keep Abrego García in El Salvador. A normal administration would want to retrieve someone wrongly sent to a foreign gulag. I believe part of the reason I that Trump wants a fight with the courts in which he can defy their orders.
NEW: THREAD: The VA is now asking employees to snitch on each other for "instances of anti-christian bias." You'll be rewarded with 30 pieces of silver (kidding). This is from an email from Doug Collins (I won't post screenshots in case there are irregularities used to identify leakers.) 1/
I have to assume that Kristi Noem had $3,000 in cash because she had just sold children to a human trafficking ring, and it would have been $10,000 but she had just made a drop for some Fentanyl that she was on her way to pick up.
I care less about Signal chats and more about the blacksite offshore concentration camps we're sending random people to without any semblance of a trial, so I'll be interested to see if the national media can rub their bellies and pat their heads at the same time this week. Historically they can't.
Which is precisely why millions of people are protesting against you.
My new piece in The Atlantic continues how to fight Putinization in America. Trump is accelerating his wide-spectrum attacks on the rule of law & on public & private institutions that might slow him. If legislators don’t fight now, they won’t be able to later. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...
As former counsel for the carpenters union and member of local 1598 - I know how important it is that we get more folks into the trades so that we can Build Canada Strong 🇨🇦
This, from my colleague
Brent Neiman says it all.
Trump admin used the results from his paper to justify tariff rates. Except they used the completely wrong number.
Staggering 🤯

Just because it’s satire, doesn’t mean it’s not true.

By Evan Dyer CBC. This is highly problematic.
Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.
What will you do?
PP voted against: NATIONAL SCHOOL FOOD PROGRAM, Canada Child Benefit, building nearly 4 million homes, the first home savings account, tax cuts for the middle class, raising the federal minimum wage, $10 a day child care, Canadian dental care plan.
If he really cared about these issues he wouldn’t have voted against solving them.
Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

We love this country with every fibre of our being.
I know that during this crisis, Canadians will remain united. We will keep Canada Strong.
Review: "The Rise and Fall of Terrorgram," a "Frontline" presentation on PBS follows the escalating bigotry and violent influence of the online extremist network
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Very sorry to hear this as a listener from 🇨🇦 - I listen regularly to BBC World Service news broadcasts on podcast, excellent coverage I don’t hear otherwise
