A little bit of "stand on guard for thee" for the cameras, with a lot of "we're surrendering our security and public services to the firms that inhabit the core of America's transition to outright fascism" where it counts, away from scrutiny & sold as wonderful until it's too late to prevent. 14/

For 18 years, the Sask Party has said they won't close any hospitals. Is there any difference between closing them and their incompetence in being able to staff them so they are open? Somebody in the media should ask

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move. 1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year. Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

ICE is attempting to deport an Atlanta-based Spanish-language reporter from El Salvador who has been covering their immigration abductions. He has legal work authorization and a path to a green card. This is pretty obviously an assault on the free press. www.ajc.com/news/2025/06...
Mario Guevara, the metro Atlanta-based Spanish-language reporter who built a mass audience with his coverage of immigration raids, could be deported following his arrest at a protest over the weekend, according to his attorney.

A lawyer for Guevara told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged what is known as a “detainer” against the journalist, which is often the first step in deportation procedures.
