who will be the first Democrat to call Republicans the R-word? Setting aside the question of whether they should use a term widely considered an ableist slur
No this section very definitely is talking about using the ableist slur. The r-word for sexual assaulters is not censored in the article since it is not considered a slur.

This section was, in fact, about the ableist slur. The term for a sexual assaulter only comes into the article later, and is not called the r-word or censored.
This isn't "caving" to America, Canada is built on militarized repression of motility. This is a win for them, because they get to do something they already want (more cops to target migrants and Indigenous people under the guise of "security") and now they even get to say that this thing they already wanted is absolutely definitely worth the money and really quite a "cheap" tradeoff to stop big bad America's unreasonable tariffs.
Increased border security and larger military/police budgets is just standard operating procedure.
Malaysia doesn't recognize the state of Israel, and acknowledges its existence as occupation as national policy. They have a Palestinian embassy with diplomatic relations with Hamas. There's a Malaysia Street in Gaza.
Lots of great options here, and may I also recommend one of my favourite comfort foods: colcannon. Irish dish of cabbage in mashed potatoes.
Ryan Tedder also has songwriting/production credits on so many chart toppers through to today, he is prolific as hell in the pop scene.
Highly recommend Harsha Walia's Border and Rule: Global Migration, Capitalism, and the Rise of Racist Nationalism.
The securitization and militarization of borders functions as a valve to control the flow of labour and capital. By destabilizing the economies of the Global South, the North is able to secure capital flow into their countries, while limiting capital flow out. At the same time, the militarization of the border creates a tiered system of labour that fixes labourers into the destablized economies of the South, where they can be hyperexploited, while also ensuring the precarity of migrants in the North to serve as a domestic force of hyperexploitable labour.
Basically, by controlling who is allowed to move where, capital can ensure desperate labourers are available to work for a pittance in special economic zones, while also having a ready supply of domestic labour that is reliant on their visas (or fear of deportation through undocumented status) to suppress wages in the core.
Borders have had other meanings in the past (though still mostly economic), but this is by far the main point of modern nation-state border securitization. An argument can be made about jurisdictional limits being important (and they are, because it allows for differing rules and regulations and creating different tiers of labour based on citizenship), but if that was what mattered most the actual militarization and securitization of the border wouldn't really help with that.
"you're talking about probably a million and a half people"
2.2 million in 2023, so you know, getting close to acknowledging how many people Israel has murdered.
The confusion is definitely the shitty journalist's fault, because the article is about AOC calling him out for his sexual assault but the journalist opened with a random tweet about democrats calling republicans the r-word, a thing that exists entirely in the imagination of the tweeter
