America is a bad bad place.
ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify family. Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time. He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

The President is now deploying red state military to blue states over the objective of people's elected representatives in those states. He's ordering U.S. troops to patrol cities in places that - at worst - have a couple blocks that could use a few more police, or even some
@joshgerstein @jonesblakej UPDATE: Hegseth today called up 400 members of the Texas National Guard, with Gov. Abbott's apparent permission, to be deployed "where needed, including in the cities of Portland and Chicago." https://t.co/FoE2jn7qF0

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

Bukele forced out independent judges, packed the courts with loyalists, then declared a state of emergency that allowed him to arrest and indefinitely detain people without any due process. When we say these guys are advocating for fascist ideas, it’s because they literally are.

Carney defends trips abroad, says visits further agenda on trade, investment

Lots of talk in #CDNTech about luring H-1B talent. But Canada struggles to keep its own talent at home: 📌 Avg. wage 46% lower than US 📌 Only 32% of Canadian “high-potential” startups headquartered here 📌 100,000 fewer entrepreneurs today than 2000 https://t.co/5QHcrkyG8S
