Update… there is a warrant for him, but the JP who signed it ignored the police request for him to be kept in custody. So when he is picked up, he can walk after he appears.

Several police contacts told me they see this all the time and it’s typical of how the system works.
The warrant is related to him breaching his probation which involved clauses he could not contact me for three years.

So basically you can violate your probation conditions in harassment cases and police can say hey you should hold this person, but it’s catch and release.
I cannot imagine the frustration of police officers who deal with repeat offenders like mine (yes he is a repeat offender with a criminal record) and watching this happens and then having to tell gobsmacked women like me sorry but he won’t be held.

My colleague Shogofa Danish is one of the bravest, smartest, kindest people I know. She is an Afghan refugee and an incredible journalist.

She has been trying to save her parents (her family is on a list of Taliban "foreign spies").

We are trying to help
gofundme.com/f/help-me-save…
Shogofa's parents are currently in Pakistan. We have till the end of the year to hit $20,000 to bring them here (Shogofa raised $4000 on her own).

The two spots that miraculously opened up for them (very hard to get one) only became avail in early Dec so we have very little time
I don't usually use this account for go fund me stuff, but this is life and death for her family.

The Pakistani govt is deporting Afghan refugees. If they are sent back to Afghanistan, there is a very high chance they will be killed.

Have been asking whether Canada wasn’t asked or declined to sign a statement condemning Hamas issued by the US, UK, Germany, France and Italy.

One source told me we were not asked.

Two others said we weren’t asked bc this is from The Quint, it’s own little mini-alliance.

A fourth source said we were not officially asked but that doesn’t mean there’s not an unofficial approach.

Unofficial approaches can happen to gauge interest and or whether there is going to be a debate about watering down or beefing up statements; and to determine speed of potential response.
One source raised concerns about Canada not being in The Quint or AUKUS as alliances with key allies play out without Canada.

That said, I would be very surprised if there isn’t a G7 statement too

Now media question time:

American media q1: you talked about security and economic partnership with Canada. Xi just went to Russia. Counties are forming opposing alliances, what does it mean for security basically
Biden says he disagrees with premise of question. Says US has expanded alliances, doesn’t think China or Russia are.
What commitment can China make to Russia? Biden asks

Twitter is shutting off dual factor authentication for accounts that don’t pay for verification. Including accounts already verified based on the job or person vs subscription.

Verified accounts that don’t pay will now be easier to compromise. Accounts ppl assume are legit.
I would be less concerned if Twitter said we are just revoking all blue checks unless you pay, versus keeping them but reducing security for those accounts.

Over the last couple of months I’ve had multiple attempted hard hacks on my social media. Dual factor has mattered.
Hopefully I’m wrong and there’s some kind of work around. If someone knows one, let me know and I’ll share.
