I don't think it's unreasonable to ask our mayors & city/municipal councils to cease giving more annual increases to police budgets without making body cams absolutely mandatory, with independent oversight. A bare minimum for public accountability & public transparency purposes.
I know that police won't be abolished in my lifetime. It would be helpful if local government stopped giving cops more taxpayers' monies, without forcing police departments to do bare minimum with wearing bodycams & not be able to personally choose when they're turned on/off - they need to be on while they're on shift.#ACAB #FreezePoliceBudgetRaises #NoMoreFreeRaises #AccountabilityBeforeFunds #InvestigateThePolice #PublicTransparency #PublicAccountability #ACAB #RottenBarrels #BadApples #BodyCamsOnCops #YYJpoli #PublicMoney #StopTheGravyTrain

People Need to Know Where Mitch McConnell Is
By Cliff Potts, Chief Strategy Officer, Editor-in-Chief, WPS News
Washington, D.C. — July 10, 2026
Scheduled publication: 22:00 PHT

Mitch McConnell is still missing from public view, and that is no longer a small story.
As of the latest reporting, McConnell remains hospitalized after being taken from his Washington, D.C. home on June 14. His office says he is improving and working with staff on Senate and Kentucky matters, but it has still not publicly explained what happened, what his actual condition is, or when voters can expect to see him again (Morgan, 2026).
That is the problem.
No one needs McConnell’s private medical chart. No one needs every family detail. But Kentucky voters are entitled to know whether their senator is conscious, communicative, capable of voting, and capable of serving.
The rumor mill is now running wild because the official information is almost useless. New York Magazine reported that far-right influencer Laura Loomer claimed McConnell was “brain dead,” while Republican leaders John Thune and John Barrasso said they had spoken with McConnell and that he was engaged and eager to return (Hartmann, 2026). There is no reliable confirmation that McConnell is brain dead. That should be said clearly.
But there is also no public proof from McConnell himself.
No video. No audio. No direct public statement. No photo. No medical explanation. Just secondhand reassurances from political allies with an obvious interest in keeping the public calm.
That is not enough.
The situation became even more serious after reporting on emergency dispatch audio from June 14. Multiple outlets reported that emergency personnel were sent to McConnell’s address for an unconscious person, with references to possible cardiac arrest and CPR in progress. The reports also cautioned that McConnell’s name was not heard in the audio and that the identity of the patient was not independently confirmed from that recording alone (Hartmann, 2026).
That caution matters. So does the timing.
President Donald Trump has now said he has “no idea” how McConnell is doing and has not spoken with him since the hospitalization began (Konig, 2026). Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has publicly asked McConnell’s office for an update on his health and ability to hold office, saying Kentuckians are increasingly concerned (Barrow, 2026).
They should be.
If Republican leaders are telling the truth, then McConnell’s office can end this with a short public statement from the senator. If Republican leaders are not telling the truth, then this becomes a Senate ethics problem and a public deception problem.
It is probably not an “impeachment” matter in the technical sense. Senators are generally not removed by impeachment; members of Congress are subject to discipline by their own chamber, including expulsion by a two-thirds vote (History, Art & Archives, n.d.; Legal Information Institute, n.d.).
But the larger principle remains: elected power belongs to the people, not to staff, party leaders, or political handlers.
McConnell deserves compassion.
Kentucky deserves proof of representation.
And America deserves better than “trust us” from the same political machine that has spent years weaponizing health, age, and fitness against everyone else.

ICE is purposely pulling almost all of these tactics that I've listed above.
#Canadians - you need to be more aware of similar #DomesticTerrorists that our governments use to protect capital over citizens.
Please understand why I've been against hiring thousands more RCMP & giving them bigger sign-up bonuses. We should not support that whatsoever until there's true #PublicAccountability & #PublicTransparency. Not more #impunity for #CrimesAgainstHumanity by #RCMP & municipal #police.
-
Another very common tactic, which is illegal but it's done more often than not - with impunity - targeting physically strong folks, who are consistently on frontlines - to break their knees/arms/ankles/wrist - by stomping on joints repeatedly. This brutal tactic is focused on physically disabling people who usually volunteer as supplies sherpas & take higher personal risks of civilian resistance - like doing tree-sits or locking down on a bridge cantilever.
RCMP CIRG does training with #Israeli #IDF. The above are just some of the many harmful/violent/illegal tactics taught to our #Canadian corporate mercenaries. Many police departments across #Canada have also sent their staff to train with IDF. It's super corrupt & sick as fuck.

I recognize so many of the 'break activists' down tactics being deployed by ICE terrorists because they're eerily similar to my lived experiences with RCMP CIRG in Canada.
Some of those tactics are:
- smashing car windows & purposely damaging personal property
- unfettered use of tear gas/flash bangs
- violently assaulting legal observers & first aid volunteers
- threatening & assaulting journalists/media
- targeting physically weaker people first
- grabbing volunteers doing jail support & illegally detaining them
- threatening to rape & kill protestors
- pointing loaded firearms directly at unarmed citizens
- telling citizens they don't care about the law because they're in charge now
- using drones & helicopters to do surveillance & intimidation
- sleep deprivation raids
- telling citizens that we deserve getting beat up
- not arresting violent thugs from industry even when provided clear evidence of crimes committed (like how MAGA gets excused for crimes)That's only a tiny fraction of similarities with ICE terrorists in USA & RCMP CIRG in Canada.
I know because I lived it.
We need mandatory bodycams for these muthafuckers.

How ICE violently kidnaps people & then throw them out in different location, with zero charges - is exactly how #RCMPCIRG works in #BritishColumbia #Canada. They've kidnapped me & many other activists from frontlines, drive us in a paddywagon & throw us out in remote areas with zero charges. There's zero accountability for their abuses of power & criminal acts.
I just want more #Canadians to realize that we have similar thugs with badges in #Canada. We, POC folks - have suffered the most from that kind of unethical/immoral/illegal #CrimesAgainstHumanity & it happens in other places across the country too. Privileged folks don't see much of these harsh realities. They're not fighting as much against injustices at all.

@oldclumsy_nowmad Always a good idea to pay attention to any elected officials who try & fuck around with #FOI laws & twist them to avoid #PublicTransparency & #PublicScrutiny & #PublicAccountability. Any public official, who works towards more censorship of information that should be seen by citizens, is a dirty, shady-ass scroundel. Any elected officials who support more censorship/cover-ups are equally sleazy. Don't let these corrupt wankerbutternoodles forget they are #PublicServants & they will be fired by the public, one way or another.

The #Canadian Association for Work and #Labour Studies #CAWLS is calling on the federal government to immediately restore #PublicAccess to #DataTracking work stoppages and to collect more information on #LabourRelations.
It has now been over three months since Employment and Social Development Canada #ESDC quietly removed data tracking work stoppages from its website. This move also affected #StatisticsCanada tables which report strike and lockout numbers historically. The removal of these #data deprives #researchers and #unions of critical information.

#ThrowbackThursday 2022.
I miss Dad very much 😢 ❤️ He's been gone for over 2 years now.
I remember this day well. It was an excellent family bonding day. We had a nice dinner after a short walk together. 3 months after this photo was taken, Dad had to go to ER for a leg muscles issue. He was infected with covid by unmasked hospital staff. It happened shortly after our eugenics government removed public masking mandates. Dad ended up dying from covid related cardiac arrest, the following Summer.I have never forgiven the #BCgovernment or #unmasked #hospital staff for killing my Dad. We had him fully protected with home #caregiving for years. It took less than 2 days in hospital for him to get #covid.
Please #WearAMask. Please don't let my Dad & others who died from getting covid from unmasked people, to be forgotten. It could be you or your family members, next. Covid doesn't care if you believe in it or not - it will end up wrecking your life, one way or another.

In the midst of a global uprising against police brutality and systemic racism, No Visible Trauma examines a deeply troubled police department and reveals the devastating consequences of unchecked police brutality. Despite its relatively low crime rates, recent years have seen the Calgary Police Service shoot and kill more people than officers in any other Canadian city, and more than either the New York or Chicago police departments in 2018. Five years in the making, the film unravels the intertwined stories of three individuals who were the victims of extreme violence at the hands of police officers. From the kidnapping and beating of a young immigrant from Ghana, to the fatal shooting of an unarmed man during a “wellness check”, the film exposes a criminal justice system that fails to hold police officers accountable for their actions.

This doc focuses on CalgaryPD but the issues raised are happening across AB, in BC, Manitoba, Ontario & many more places across Canada. Canadian cops keep getting away with crimes & human rights abuses, daily, in Canada. Systemic racism is still a major problem across the country - no matter how much our governments try to whitewash their PR.

#RCMPCIRG still use these #drones to stalk/terrorize Indigenous peoples & comrades in remote resistance/forest & water protection camps. My 2 Indigenous sister-friends, with me now, were both stalked by the drones in middle of old growth forest last week. Jess hid in thick bush for 2 hours, with her 2 dogs, until the drone flew off.

@guyjantic They target POC folks on the regular. I've experienced it firsthand more than a few times. All of my POC friends have experienced RCMP racialized abuses too. We want to #RemoveQualifiedImmunity for actual #PublicAccountability #PublicTransparency & consequences for crimes committed by RCMP thugs. There's RCMP criminals who have gotten away with rapes/murders & it's still happening to this day. Our governments whitewash PR. In reality, they keep dehumanizing, exploiting, abusing & lying about how they treat Indigenous peoples & POC comrades. They dehumanize to turn public against us & to use as excuses to get their domestic terrorists to hurt us.
Both federal & BC government branches recently approved hiring thousands more RCMP. They're lying about public safety reasons. They're upping the state terrorist numbers to prepare for more militarized violence on protestors. They have rammed through some new evil capitalist agenda bills to put ecocide first, human & environmental rights aren't a priority & public anger is growing.
-
@crinstamcamp 100% agree. Criminal cops should get higher sentences than citizens because they're public servants, with power of state authority. They get away with lots of crimes because of qualified immunity & corrupt police unions.
I've been pushing for changes regarding the need to #RemoveQualifiedImmunity for increased #PublicSafety #PublicAccountability #PublicScrutiny #PublicTransparency & #JusticeForCopCrimeVictims
for over 2 decades. Our government officials, from municipal/provincial/federal offices are #bootlickers & give cops more money every budget, without any true public accountability.
