I’m not sure how much notice this has received but the Assembly of First Nations in Canada has issued a travel advisory for the United States after reports that Indigenous people are being increasingly questioned and detained by ICE.
www.instagram.com/p/DT-_SacDEH...I 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.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.
Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.
ICE recruitment is going well.

I’ve never been a “defund the police” type of guy. I believe that police are necessary, despite their flaws.
But ICE is different. I am 100% behind ending their existence and prosecuting every single one of them.
ICE must go. End of discussion.
Reposting this everyday until Pete Hagueseth faces justice for his crimes against humanity.

This is evil.
Since I haven’t seen anyone mention this: When the U.S. commits war crimes it puts our troops in danger also, as it gives a green light to other countries that they can do the same to us

In another era, ICE raids would be described as persecution of Catholics.

hey I dunno who needs to hear this today but if your toddler decides that they’re obsessed with beetroot and eats like half a kg of it for dinner

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

The hair on my head has thinned in the last six weeks to where my pony tail is half what it used to be. Started looking at options for wearing scarves - have to work on how to a) not look like a pirate, b) not look like I'm religious. I guess I'll aim for middle aged hippie.

The irony of the Great Gatsby party at Mar-a-Lago was lost on the attendees - so many people missed the point of the book. It's not about the glitz and the glamour. It's about moral decay, delusion, and the empty promises of the American Dream.

'No one had the slightest idea what the book was about': Why The Great Gatsby is the world's most misunderstood novel
F Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby is synonymous with glitz and glamour but this is just one of many myths that have surrounded the book since its first publication in April 1925.

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.
They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.
They’re refusing.
Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.
Starvation as a policy choice.
Still have hives all over, but they're not all itchy at the same time. But then when the different patches get itchy, oh boy.
Interesting discussion with a patient yesterday. Their hot water tank died (note, that it was October), and they had trouble finding anyone who would replace it before February. WTF.

F*ck, I'm itchy. Stupid hives.

My kids lasted 30 minutes out trick-or-treating before saying they were too cold, or at least that's what their father said on return. I think it's because *he* was getting too cold.
#YOWIf you ring our doorbell tonight in Ottawa looking for Halloween treats, I'll be handing out in handfuls.
After all, there's a Jays game tonight, too.
Halloween night 2025, 17:47, not a single bell has been rung at this house. Rain is also going sideways, which is probably contributing. Kids are still insisting they're going out.

Pouring buckets in YOW. Might have a very soggy Halloween night tomorrow. Kids are worried they won't be able to go out. I didn't remind them that their father bought bulk bags of their favourites a couple weeks ago to give out.

Good morning, happy Wednesday.
Hives have spread, I am a walking itch. Did some reading yesterday; apparently 10% of people are affected by skin rashes while taking hydroxychloroquine. Hives/urticaria are more rare, with unknown incidence, but it exists.
I hope your morning is better than mine.
