- Fraser Health has some very racist cruel employees calling CBSA on a very ill cancer patient! After being told not to!
- BC Cancer has agreed to treat Francisco Barahona on an urgent basis after The Tyee reported Thursday he had being denied care despite being ravaged by cancer. @michellegamage.bsky.social reports.
- Reposted by LAI sincerely hate this time line. Kristi Noem has now fixated on a 5 year child. They're trying to expedite the deportation of Liam Conejo Ramos. Because the first time they kidnapped and traumatized him wasn't enough. They have to do it again. #SheShed share.google/m38KzENmDh6w...
- Reposted by LAThis is complete, self-serving fiction. The Trump-Epstein friendship didn't end over raping young girls. That is *why* it existed in the first place. It ended over, more predictably, money. Donald outbid Epstein on property Epstein had told Donald he was interested in. Epstein never forgave Trump.
- Reposted by LAStephen Harper says the US is a "hostile" regime and Canada must urgently reduce its economic ties and hit back with counter tariffs. He says business leaders are fooling themselves if they think things will go back to normal. When I find myself in the same trench as Stephen Harper it's serious.
- Reposted by LAReminder to all our fellow boaters that it is illegal to dump Fraser Institute statistics into open water within three miles of shore.
- Printing handguns isnt developing anti drone weapons systems. Neither is stock piling weapons grade precursors- Oklahoma City style - Let alone pulling burglaries at the Uni. Are they foreign assets ? Thats cover in case caught - not reality given what was found
- I really don’t know what to do with this one. If true, it’s very much as a friend described it, “Dragon’s Den Gone Very, Very, Wrong.” www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
- Billionaire sexual predators- are still horrible and evil and possibly criminal Who is to say they didn't just fund another source of young kids?
- This is today - the goof who @jamiljivani touts as 'loving Canada' and that @CBCNews breathlessly follows with NO CRITIQUE about his dementia, his attacks on Canada his flip flops daily and his history in Epstein files inc child rape and poss worse! Shame on both! No passes for this depravity
- Reposted by LATrump's assistance to the Russian attack on Ukrainian power and heating last night was so egregious that I put together this short, free piece on it. He helped Putin kill Ukrainians. If the USA does not do something soon, the US should be seen as a Putin ally. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

- Reposted by LABREAKING: Rep Ted Lieu just called for Deputy AG Todd Blanche’s resignation, and points out why partying with Epstein actually would be illegal.
- Reposted by LAThe most ridiculous over reach in international diplomacy since Rudolf Hess crashed his plane in Scotland. This numptie needs a handler.
- Reposted by LAThis is what Nicolás Maduro did in Venezuela. Nationalize voting, then clamp down on journalists and appoint only partisan judges. Becoming a dictator one step at a time. 🗽
- Reposted by LADeputy Attorney General Todd Blanche needs to resign. He got the law wrong about patronizing sex parties with alleged child trafficking. He failed to redact names of victims & pictures of children. AND he moved Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum-security prison & got her a puppy.
- Reposted by LAShe’s asking about the Epstein victims And He’s telling @kaitlancollins.bsky.social to smile. I want to scream.
- Reposted by LACher giving her speech and then wandering off the stage before announcing the award she was supposed to give, then not realizing she was supposed to read the winner off the placard, and then announcing the winner as Luther Vandross, a man who’s been dead for 20 years, is so iconic I can’t breathe 😭

- Reposted by LAThank you @democrats.senate.gov for voting unanimously for Senator Sanders’ Amendment to strip ICE of BBB funding. Can you please demand the Sanders Amendment as a condition to fund DHS now that you’ve successfully separated it from the larger spending package?
- Trust Mark Elias ! Hes the best legal voice for democracy in America for a few years now
- Reposted by LAAmazon has cut a combined 28,000 jobs since October. Its CEO made $40M+ in 2024 UPS has announced 78,000 job cuts since last year. Its CEO made $24M. HP announced up to 6,000 layoffs in November. Its CEO made $21M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
- Reposted by LABetween seizing ballots in Georgia, trying to leverage Minnesota to turn over its sensitive voter data, and political prosecutions, the DOJ is laying the groundwork to subvert the 2026 elections. I created Democracy Docket for times like this. Help it grow by supporting it now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0
- Extremely disturbing !!!
- Reposted by LAIt hasn’t gone unnoticed that all four people arrested today, including two journalists, were Black. And now we find out the charge is “conspiracy to violate civil rights,” a statute rooted in the Ku Klux Klan Act. Sit with that.
- Reposted by LAThis was posted in the new Epstein files release and removed about 20 mins later. Wonder why that is.
- Reposted by LA[Not loaded yet]
- Reposted by LAHere is direct cost of credibility gap & loss of presumption of regularity. Blanche says they're doing an investigation out of DOJ into Pretti killing. But that could be a more effective way of trying to tie Minnesota's hands.And very little reason to think they're doing right thing after everything
- Reposted by LATrump's new pick for Fed Chair makes an appearance in today's Epstein Files release:
- Reposted by LAImportant update: a federal judge has ruled that Russ Vought & OMB were breaking the law & must tell the public exactly how they are spending (or not spending) funds appropriated by Congress. I wrote this law years ago to ensure transparency and accountability.

- Reposted by LAPretty sure it's the provinces and their constant invocation of the Notwithstanding Clause that is gutting the Charter and not the other way around.
- Reposted by LAGEORGIA — @ossoff.senate.gov : “This is a SEISMIC event. This should have people across 🇺🇸 absolutely shook. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County elections office… this is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections.” (H/T @atrupar.com )

- Unthinkable cruelty not to mention child endangerment
- Video shows ICE leaving behind an infant and broken glass after arresting a man with no criminal history. “There was a car seat in the back... There were broken glass shards all over it... There was just this tiny peanut of a baby. He was crying.” My latest: www.pressherald.com/2026/01/28/i...
- Reposted by LAJD Vance Places Candle Outside Hooters Where ICE Agents Were Heckled
- Reposted by LAI'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/ (New piece) newrepublic.com/article/2057...
- In Canada expect Jamil Jivani’s naked crusade to radicalize young Canadian ( men) to deploy these strategies. He is now financed by many of the same Consrvative donors

- It’s to steal voter data to cheat in the midterms? Apparently
- Reposted by LADon’t fall for Trump’s efforts to convince the public he’s changing course on immigration. It’s meant to distract and stop the protests. Nothing more. joycevance.substack.com/p/ice-gettin...
- Reposted by LANope. Son of Holocaust survivor. My father was 11 when the Nazis invaded his hometown in eastern Poland. He survived only by fleeing to a different city with a false baptismal certificate. The comparison is apt. Carry on.
- Reposted by LAIn Minneapolis, far-right influencers posing as journalists are casting themselves as victims and labeling ICE-watch groups “terrorists.” Their big new evidence—“infiltrated” Signal chats—isn’t a secret, had no calls for violence and urged people to witness, not interfere. www.ms.now/news/minneap...
- Reposted by LAI wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free
- Might be very informative esp for non economists!
- Reposted by LAI would like to know how my prior colleagues, who have chosen to pursue leadership positions under this charlatan, justify ordering agents to break their oaths of office and open investigations on people simply for exercising their legal rights. Good luck gazing in the mirror when this is all over.
- There is no stand down for Minneapolis
- Reposted by LAOdd how when people like Bari Weiss go on about 'merit-based hiring', what they mean is hiring nice-looking white boys from elite schools regardless of their experience. Here's CBS's new Ukraine correspondent. Graduated college less than a year ago. Yale Rugby. Only job: 7 months freelancing. 1/

- Reposted by LAJust over the past 72 days, two non-white Democratic members of Congress have been attacked, one of them by a Trump supporter who threatened him with deportation. Does JD Vance have anything to say? After all, the GOP VP is always so keen to attack "left-wing" political violence.
- Reposted by LAmy grandmother, an Auschwitz survivor, was Anne Frank’s neighbor in Amsterdam, and Oma thinks this comparison is perfectly apt
- Reposted by LAThe woman who survived five gunshots from a Border Patrol agent in Chicago, only to be criminally charged and then cleared, now wants a judge’s permission to share records showing how the feds respond when agents use deadly force. @chicago.suntimes.com story: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...
- Reposted by LAI want to say this too: this victory was won because we had observers EVERYWHERE. ICE and CBP couldn't set foot in our city without cameras rolling. Much of the nation seemed determined to ignore our plight for weeks, but the avalanche of documentation we produced dragged the nation to us.
