Horrific. This man had already been kidnapped at knifepoint near the border twice before he crossed and claimed asylum in 2019. Federal agents treated him with the same level of assaultive tactics before immediately shuffling him to TX TO deport him with no medical care after this brutal exchange.

Graphs showing cumulative area burned and carbon emissions in Ontario. Note in terms of area burned 2021 is the top spot but 2026 is top spot in terms of carbon emissions. Both are correct. The reason for this is that the 2026 fires are more severe - consumed more biomass (greater depth of burn).

From Christopher Parente, attorney for former "Broadview Six" defendant Brian Straw:
"The U.S. Attorney has now acknowledged having personal contact with the Broadview 6 grand jury—on the date they delivered the indictment in this case. As the transcript demonstrates, U.S. Attorney Boutros asked these grand jurors, who previously refused to return an indictment, to 'raise their hand' if they had personal feelings on immigration cases, and informed them there would be a 'different procedure' for them. This was one week after the AUSA dismissed grand jurors who voiced dissent in the Broadview 6 case presentation.



"Of all days for the U.S. Attorney to make a rare appearance before the grand jury, that he would be present on the day he likely knew this case would be re-presented speaks for itself. Despite this interaction having occurred in October, none of this information was disclosed to the defense or the public before this afternoon. It is only being revealed now because of the demands of the Broadview 6 defense team for transparency on this U.S. Attorney's engagement in the grand jury process."

I am so fucking proud of @brianstraw.bsky.social and his attorney Chris Parente for fighting tirelessly on the grand jury transcripts issue. Without them, there likely would have been an acquittal at trial, but no public awareness of the gross misconduct that took place in the Broadview 6 case.

People who make good money and live comfortable lives have more than one incentive to think that things truly cannot hit the fan. “It can’t be that bad” is self motivating in a lot of ways. Just like hope, it’s also not a plan nor a strategy.
