In maybe the Most Canadian story ever, two political parties (the NDP and Bloc Québécois) are asking that tomorrow's French language election debate be postponed because it conflicts with a Montreal Canadiens game.

Interpreting the term “facilitate” in that manner, #KilmarAbregoGarcia's attorneys argued, would render "null" #SCOTUS’ order that the government facilitate his release.

“To give any meaning to the Supreme Court’s order, the Government should at least be required to request the release of Abrego Garcia. To date, the Government has not done so.”

MAGA as pro-#dementia: "Gone are ~$10 million in remaining money for a project that inc. 28 clinical & research sites across the country & 1700 participants w/mild cognitive impairments. 'We don’t have the ability to predict who’s going to get worse b/c we won’t be able to see them,' said DeCarli, who’s also co-director of the #Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at #UCDavis. His project also had the goal of placing these participants in treatment & prevention trials.

Meanwhile fed govt is ignoring actual anti-Semitism like the firebombing of Josh Shapiro’s house on Passover.

So now Trump says, publicly in front of God and everybody, that US citizens will be arrested and deported to remote prisons.

First they came for the immigrants...
...and I was mad as hell.

Because I read the damn poem!

@Strandjunker And since we're at it - the reason the nazis were so efficient at eradicating the Dutch Jewish community during the occupation of 40-45, is because The Netherlands had an incredibly efficient and detailed population register. The nazis immediately sought access to these registers after the invasion, and they received little to no pushback from Dutch officials.

...just in case someone reading this is not worried about Musk accessing demographic records.

In case you missed it

@BrianJopek
Thanks for sharing! I was going to post something like, “Look how brave she is crawling out beyond the parapet of a tall building, or flying into combat armed with nothing but a camera,” but instead, I’ll just say, “Look how brave she is being a confident, capable woman at a time when women were systematically devalued.” #KickingAss #TakingNames

Can’t fully capture the cognitive dissonance I feel seeing Molly Jong-Fast quoting Monty Python to describe a pointless but disastrous trade war started by President Donald Trump against our 3rd-largest trading partner, China.

A decade ago almost none of that would have been believable

Let’s see if Pam Bondi goes after the terrorist who tried to kill Governor Shapiro with the same rigor she used for the Tesla vandals

@TonyStark it's even more worth noting that the Nazis are screaming they're deporting innocents because of 'antisemitism.'

And there is absolutely NO question the arson was in response to the governor posting about Passover Seder.

Somebody tried to torch the Governor of Pennsylvania's home while he and his family were in it and how that isn't the top story today along with I don't know, a question to Trump as to why he hasn't deployed the FBI to investigate (or called the Governor to check on him) is beyond me.

A scratched Tesla is terrorism. The attempted murder of a Democrat, just fine it seems.

Suspect arrested after arson at Pennsylvania governor’s house forced Shapiro and family to evacuate:

It occurs to me that while I cannot stop worrying about Abrego Garcia, Kristi Noem, Marco Rubio, and Pam Bondi resent having to give him a single thought.

Brilliant bumper sticker ❤️
