CW: Sexual assault
Women are being kidnapped and assaulted by men who impersonate ICE agents. This is one of many reasons why we can’t have a masked, unaccountable secret police force roaming the streets. Urge your elected officials to take action today: https://www.bluestatedefiance.org/no-secret-police?source=mastodon

A 70 year old Jewish woman was stabbed at a Kosher grocery store in Ontario by a 71 year old gentile man in what prosecutors are classifying as a hate crime. This event is getting attention in Canada, coverage by the CBC, a statement by the Prime Minister, etc.
This is typical of how antisemitism is handled in Canada. Comedian Modi says that antisemitism is "Hating Jews more than you're allowed." and that holds very true in Canada, where physical violence gets a lot of attention, but non-physical violence such as hate speech/vandalism/intimidation and discrimination go unaddressed.
Politicians here treat antisemitic incidents like American politicians treat gun violence, with "no idea where it comes from" and remedies that include "hopes and prayers".
It's time for a change, and for Canadians to address non-physical violence like they go physical violence.

#EightYearsAgoToday #AreWeGreatYet
August 30, 2017 – After Hurricane Harvey hit Texas, Donald Trump visited Corpus Christi and told a small crowd the recovery from the hurricane’s devastation would be “better than ever before.”
His proposed budget slashed FEMA programs aimed at helping Americans get back on their feet after natural disasters.

Senator Chris Coons (D-Delaware) stated, “It is unacceptable that after last year signing a Republican tax bill that gave away tens of billions in corporate tax cuts and added more than $1 trillion to the national debt, President Trump cites the need for government belt-tightening in his decision to slash a planned pay increase.”

A high profile conservative lawyer (and the ex-husband of former Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway) is calling Donald Trump’s political strategy what it is: “authoritarianism.”
“We have never seen anything like this in America."

[Sociopath] #StephenMiller, deputy White House chief of staff, said on Friday the #military buildup was aimed to "combat & dismantle drug trafficking organizations, criminal #cartels & these foreign terrorist organizations in our hemisphere."
But it is unclear exactly how the US military presence would disrupt the drug trade.

And once again for those in the back. JD Vance is a lying liar who will be in on the feasting over el tRumpo’s rotting corpus, standing ‘really close’ to Thiel.
@vij It is pathetic. He can't stand to not be in the spotlight.

"Exclusive − Trump doesn't want long-term occupation of American cities, Vance says"
Translation:
"Whoops, this has been a complete clusterfuck. We thought Americans in LA and DC would roll over and die. After all, that's what we would do! How were we to know? 😭 Now the sandwich guy is a national hero and we look dumber than ever."

“More people are being held by the United States in #immigration detention than ever before, with many facilities housing more individuals than they were built to contain,. Reports of mistreatment have been widespread and have included disturbing details of overcrowding, food shortages, lack of adequate medical care, and unsanitary conditions.” https://www.texasobserver.org/dems-congress-ice-detention-oversight-lawsuit/

Can Texas stoop any lower? Maybe they'd like a return to the internment camps for Asian Americans....
