Completely bonkers that US government is now targeting Canadian researchers working on climate & beyond. Canadian government should step up with funding. To be clear climate is about national security, public safety, trade & jobs. innovation etc. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

I decided to start a #thread 🧵 of stories about legal residents and tourists being (illegally) arrested, detained and/or deported by the Trump regime. I'll only post stories from serious sources, as rumors and conspiracies are really not needed in this authoritarian moment.

There’s a parallel track of tech barons becoming more comfortable w/being openly fascist while their companies push devices that are more and more invasive, and I don’t think it ends with people happily installing these things in their homes, and wearing them on their faces.
