open.substack.com/pub/mikebroc... I grew up on the shores of Lake Ontario. My European ancestors called it Lake Ontario for 9 generations. My indigenous ancestors were calling it Lake Ontario for centuries before that. This article points to something much more sinister than just a fit of pique.

Imagine if a hospital, rather than treating a disease, attacked patients displaying its symptoms. This is the Ontario government. The disease is insufficient housing, health care, and social services. Ford is attacking the victims, not treating the disease that creates encampments.

This is the Swiss cheese effect in action. The more holes in the cheese, the easier it is to poke something right through it. Human error is a fact of life, but it’s possible to limit opportunities for misjudgment and to mitigate the impact if an error happens. These deaths were so unnecessary.

Gift article. The ATC “messed up”. BUT, the tower wasn’t fully staffed, there was already an emergency, LG had failed to install transponders on its ground vehicles, the truck failed to obey ATC’s correction, and two good young pilots died needlessly. Antoine & Mackenzie, fly in the Light.

And yet, to the best of my knowledge, not one American media outlet has troubled itself to name even one of the children slaughtered by American taxpayer money. The media’s steadfast refusal to name these children is just as abhorrent and amoral as the missile attack itself.

Not one western media outlet seems willing to name these children who were burned alive and blown apart in an American double tap strike. Are their lives meaningless to us? Or is it because it isn’t a war crime if Hegseth orders it? SAY THEIR NAMES. www.middleeasteye.net/news/names-a...

The thing about genocide is that the gates on escape shut with very little warning. The Jews who left Germany early on, the Tutsis who fled Rwanda - all of them probably wondered whether they were overreacting. So did those who stayed … until suddenly it was too late to make the same choice.

Renee Nicole Good, 37, mother of a 6 year old, was murdered by a federal agent today. Murdered and then blamed for her murder. DHS agents are now a proven extrajudicial force that will kill you, for no reason at all, just because they can. If there was ever a moment, it is now.

This attack was outlined very clearly in Project 2025. Nobody can say it wasn’t advertised beforehand. The tepid response from all but a handful of courageous leaders (Carney noticeably absent among them) sends its own horrifying message to MAGA.
