The problem with christianity is that it traps people in a perpetual state of childish helplessness... shifting all responsibility to god, declaring that whatever happens is 'god’s will,' and branding any attempt at independent thought or self-determination as sinful hubris.

Whether it’s to Guantanamo or El Salvador, #republicans sure do love to ship off people who haven’t faced due process in order to determine their legal statuses.

In violation of these politicians’ oaths to uphold and defend the Constitution, of course.

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.”
