#OtD 31 May 1927 Donald Trump's father, Fred Trump, was arrested at a KKK rally in Queens, NYC. Despite Donald Trump denying it happened, multiple newspapers reported it, giving Fred Trump's address and reporting all those arrested as wearing KKK robes stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1039...

There’s a simple way to test a country’s sovereignty: Can it govern its own markets? Writer Vass Bednar argues Canada can’t—not while a foreign power can shut off our payment networks at will. The UK is building alternatives. Are we? ow.ly/3PLJ50YEH3S

Canadians have no idea of the number of Canadian detainees in ICE detention and the Canadian government is refusing to disclose that. There are reports of dozens of Canadian children in the camps.

A girl or woman is killed every 48 hours in Canada 🇨🇦, 1 in 3 will be raped in their lifetime. Violence against women & girls has never been as bad as it is today & there is less money to help girls & women than there has been in a decade. Now they’re giving the budget away to boys & men. #cdnpoli

OpenAI is a menace. Two recent stories make that clearer than ever. One day you have Sam Altman denigrating humanity to defend AI. The next, WSJ reveals OpenAI could have alerted Canadian police of a potential mass shooter, but refused pressure from employees. That person went on to kill 8 people.

Open any AI app you choose & have it really dig in on a subject that you know inside & out. Watch for how many errors it produces. Now imagine that at Pentagon scale, where the AI has no guard rails & is only guided by vibes and whiskey. Anthropic, $200M, & no legal framework. What could go wrong?

Here’s a thought for James Comer. There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton. It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein. You know, just to see what she knows.

Yep, the Canadian gov't has allowed the US government to place 4 ICE stations in Canada, including the national capital and parliamentary seat. How that was even allowed..
So not only are Canadian companies fully complicit with ICE the gov't has already given them a toehold here

This is a cover up of a murder, led by our own federal government.
Screenshot of an X post by Omar Jimenez (@OmarJim…, 7h) stating that Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison says he doesn’t have the names of the agents who shot Alex Pretti, adding: “I’ve been a lawyer for 36 years. I’ve never seen anything like this before.” Below is a CNN video thumbnail showing a split screen: on the left, an older man in a black cap and glasses labeled “Brown | Business Owner,” and on the right, Keith Ellison in a suit. A CNN “LIVE” bug appears in the corner.

A reminder: Ending healthcare for trans folk is political violence. Caging and deporting people who seek asylum is political violence. Arresting those who protest genocide is political violence. Political violence is pervasive, made persistent by politics that consign groups of people to death.
