ICE out of Canada and no Canadian support for ICE. Sign Canadian MP Heather McPherson's petition to ban funding to Canadian companies working with ICE, ban goods destined to ICE and revoke permission for ICE in Canada. I signed. @HMcPhersonNDPourcommons.ca/petitions/en/P…

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security is deeply concerned by a dangerous and accelerating pattern within the United States government in which rhetoric and symbolism associated with Nazi ideology and white supremacist extremism is increasingly given political legitimacy. Entire government agencies, especially the Department of Homeland Security, as well as senior officials and other influential actors now regularly tolerate and even echo language and imagery historically rooted in Nazism and genocidal movements, eroding democratic norms and cultivating an environment that actively drives extremist mobilization and politically driven violence.
The Lemkin Institute recognizes that the Trump Administration is unlikely to engage in any actions that would begin to limit and contain the growing power and violence of extremist groups because the Administration is, apparently, in the hands of people sympathetic to those groups. We remind President Trump, his advisors, and the foot soldiers of genocide in ICE and CBP that totalitarian supremacist projects never end well for the perpetrators.
We call upon U.S. government officials and U.S. political representatives who do not wish to be complicit in fascism and genocide to take immediate measures to identify, address and dismantle Nazi and white supremacist ideology within the U.S. government, with the long-term goal of transforming the nation towards a more just, positive, and sustainable social order.
We salute the Americans who are courageously showing up to protest the rapid radicalization of the U.S. state towards totalitarianism and genocide. All protest in the U.S. today is also genocide prevention work. Humanity will one day recognize the value and the heroism of people standing up and risking their lives every day.

CBS: His name is published —
NOEM: I know, but that doesn't mean it should continue to be said.

"But since she was 10 years old, Kate Kane has lived in the shadow of a prophecy and the machinations of a religion devoted to the end of all things. How do you fight the devil when the devil is real? And how do you win?"
