Nothing to see here. Just Pierre Poilievre doing more Donald Trump things. Literally and at the same time!

ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available?

It's literally called Library Extension.

Fun fact: in the midst of all this, McMaster University suddenly fired without cause two crucial members of its Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Office, including Unita Assk, whose image they seem to have forgotten to scrub from their website so far: svpro.mcmaster.ca/prevention/u...

Mace Announces Hearing on Taxpayer Funded Animal Cruelty - United States House Committee on Oversight and Accountability United States House Committee on Oversight and Accountability

Rep. Nancy Mace is holding a hearing this week titled, “Transgender Lab Rats and Poisoned Puppies: Oversight of Taxpayer Funded Animal Cruelty.”

We Have Rights: When Documenting ICE Arrests This is "We Have Rights: When Documenting ICE Arrests" by MediaTank on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

This Fiona Apple narrated explainer PSA on how to film (and release footage from, not livestream) ICE arrests is exactly what we need from people with production skills right now and is worth about 3 million celebrity “imagine” covers in terms of survival utility
