We hear this Sunday’s Simpsons is gonna be a banger… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Ohio forcing all women to track their fetus, and file paperwork if something happens to the fetus. When the GOP regime comes crashing down, so much will need to be repaired. Never forget the people who voted for this.

This is completely unbearable. But also like… why are his insane ramblings never summarized like this in the media? We gotta wait for a substack guy to put it together like this?

The extremists in charge of much of the US are going extremely hard at punishing women, and particularly Black women. Of course any wealthy GOP official who flies his pregnant wife / mistress / daughter somewhere for a "vacation" will never be punished.

Sorry to get political again on the silly Nintendo fangirl account but hey gang: when do we start really worrying about this shit. Are we there yet? Feels like we are there.

Big thanks to Libby Flores and The Bennington Review for publishing this story of mine about a workshop gone very, very wrong…. Some readers aren’t so into stories set in workshop but I find it such a complex miniature ecosystem to explore! www.benningtonreview.org/fifteen-bender

On day one of the war 165 children were murdered in a terror bombing of a school. At one time such an atrocity would result in widespread condemnation. Not any more. We remain silent at our peril. My latest piece. charlieangus.substack.com/p/world-at-w...

Albertans need to get serious and vote the UCP out before things here get as bad as they are already in some places in the USA. Danielle Smith is pushing the MAGA intolerance hard now, and it will only get worse. #abpoli

Here's a 2024 letter from Danielle Smith to Justin Trudeau complaining about federal immigration limits affecting Alberta. www.alberta.ca/system/files... #Alberta #abpoli #Canada #cdnpoli

Wow.

I just want to amplify this part of the post below IMO, it's important to acknowledge foreign interference #ableg #abpoli Thanks to @stacescases2.bsky.social for posting this

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

So I am one of the economist who harassed Harper to intervene with fiscal policy in the 2008 financial collapse. He literally didn’t give a flying fig

Requiem for the Washington Post

The crazy thing about the crazy things I‘m hearing, is that it isn’t rando rally-goers from the party’s base saying them. It’s delegates, the party brass and membership. These are folks who run the party. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/01/30/o...

Rest in peace to a legend. Catherine O'Hara, 1954-2026

wow, Pam Bondi obviously wants to make damn sure she goes to prison after the regime falls.

“Corporate renewable energy procurement in Alberta has virtually disappeared, with deals plummeting 99% from 2023 levels.” An entirely avoidable failure in economic diversification and climate policy because the UCP are not able to create a stable investment environment in Alberta. (1)

The United States of America. No one is safe — and the government defends this.

NEW VIDEO: this appears to be the footage from the woman in the pink coat.

Carney and Macron are the only two leaders not being conciliatory to Trump in the vague hope that he'll just go away, that somehow the US system will wake up and remove him. Keir Starmer, in particular, is so very very spineless.

In light of what has been going on south of the border, I think Albertans should be VERY concerned about a premier who wants to have a provincial police force (i.e. one that answers to her) AND has legislated that our drivers licenses display our citizenship. #ableg #abpolitics #UCP=MAGA

Homeland Security is demonstrably lying, which we know thanks to the bravery of the protesters who filmed the whole thing. The wheels turned away. ICE shot her in the face multiple times, in broad daylight, anyway.

The only reason that a few countries in Europe have maintained nuclear arsenals for decades is to deter attacks on NATO territory by an aggressor with an overwhelming conventional military advantage. All this time, we assumed it would be Russia, but then Trump and the Nazi Stephen Miller arrived.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Jesus fucking christ

A tale of 2 leaders. #Ukraine #Zelenskyy #MarkCarney #TrumpPutin #cdnpoli #USpolitics

Jfc, the police wanted to charge Epstein's victims.

I look forward to the day when we hear something like this from a powerful official in Alberta. Who here is prepared to take a stand for the basic rights of trans people? #abpoli

Republicans voting against the felony national trans youth healthcare ban were Brian Fitzpatrick (PA), Gabe Evans (CO), Michael Lawler (NY), Mike Kennedy (UT). Dems voting FOR the felony ban were Henry Cueller (TX), Vincente Gonzalez (TX), Don Davis (NC). 3 NVs on both sides.

"The students are facing potential discipline that could range from a private reprimand to being required to withdraw from the school" Instead of removing the guy who was buddies with a sex trafficker, they're investigating and going to discipline students who drew attention to it? Insanity.

Uhm.. There are no words.. AHS report is a mess.. 13 OBGYN Closures/Diversions, GROWING list of COVID/Influenza Outbreaks.. 6 Sites with Acute care bed closures...8 ER's closed.. 7 OR's closed.. @frazzleheadlc.bsky.social Sorry! open.substack.com/pub/frazzleh... #UCPCorruption #ABHealth #abpoli

An Alberta regulator is supposed to block struggling companies from obtaining oil and gas wells. Tax data obtained by The Narwhal suggests the regulator ignored the rules when it allowed a company with unpaid taxes to obtain 170 wells. @drewanderson.bsky.social reports: thenarwhal.ca/alberta-ener...

Even with everything we've seen from the Trump regime, this is a shocking level of extremism.

Premier Danielle Smith is a coward, a bully and a hypocrite. Stripping kids of rights and denying them their day in court isn't leadership, it's cowardice. Sure, she's able to suspend their rights. That doesn't mean she should. My latest 👇🏻👇🏻 www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

QUOTE: "[Wylie] said AHS and the government claimed legal and cabinet privilege over many documents, in some instances without clear reasoning. Wylie also said some records his office requested were destroyed, including notebooks kept by a former chief executive officer of AHS fired in 2024." 2/2

It seems every frikken day there is a new assault on Albertans' rights by the UCP horror show. #abpoli

You might remember the B.C. white nationalist conference I covered a few months back, Exiles of the Golden Age. Well, @antihate.ca just identified 18 attendees -- and CBC got two more. Naturally, these dudes have been crashing out. So I gathered some favourites for your viewing pleasure:

Bluesky had a real "Paradox of Tolerance" moment, banning Patton Oswalt for raging against the normalization of child sex trafficking. Everyone knows the President of the USA raped children The whole GOP (and Megyn Kelly) are preventing consequences. Without the Rule of Law, we get woodchippers.
