They want us to stop using the words fascism and Nazism and racism because there is a reason those words exist and they are the reason

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up. Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to: * 8 people shot * 5 of which were U.S. citizens * 2 died * no victims drew a weapon The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

The foundations of the separatist movement are greed, guns, oil, and hate, and the strongest of these is hate.

Worth reading: "What Canada needs is a robust nationalism founded on a shared repudiation of the new American values of cruelty and intolerance."

Breathtaking

Every large FF project currently proposed is high risk and generally have no business case: ie LNG and large new oil pipelines. Only public money will make them happen.

"Oil will bring us ruin...We are drowning in the devil’s excrement.” -Venezuela's Minister of Hydrocarbons, one of the architects of OPEC, in 1976, at the height of Venezuela's oil wealth. Masterful account of how we got here, from @dougsaunders.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/world/articl...

“Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.” ― Margaret Atwood

Wrongheaded. Want to actually fight crime? Fight poverty.

2. Speak at City Hall in support of something good for your city, rather than just going to oppose things. And before you oppose something (such as well-designed density, new housing choices, or affordable housing), think carefully about who it’s meant to help, and put yourself in their place.

To paraphrase Margaret Atwood…”men are afraid that women will laugh at them, women are afraid that men will kill them”

Art is our first language. It is artists who will tell the stories of this era. Artists deliver culture, and a voice to the voiceless in the midst of epic political nonsense & oppression. Pay attention to their art, their message, and their actions. 🎭 🎨 🎼

If US Democrats don't get more aggressive in opposing this, they will be just as complicit in the eyes of the world as Trump

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, & I do not — That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance & I — I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street”

Mark Carney and the premiers are offering ownership stakes to Indigenous communities to make mining and oil projects more attractive. @janellelapointe.bsky.social explains that it’s just modern-day beads and trinkets to buy off resistance to destructive resource projects.

It’s getting so the only safe place to be is in the Epstein Files. 🔄

PM Carney: if Canada is organizing a Civil Defense Corp—and you have a Youth Corp—Canada needs to organize a Seniors Civil Defense Corp, too. There was a deluge of Alberta Seniors loyal to Canada who self-organized and ran the successful Forever Canadian petition fyi. @coreyhogan.ca #cdnpoli

Food for thought for @jeromyyyc.bsky.social & the rest of #yyccc as they move to repeal blanket rezoning & shift back to small town style governance where gentle density applications will once again start to eat up time that could be better spent running a city approaching 2 million people:

Whatever short run “gains” Trumpistas think they’re getting will ultimately lead to long run decline of American power and influence. “Mr. Trump’s policies were helping “to create a world without America”

In a similar vein, one-third of Americans killed by strangers are killed by police. granta.com/violence-in-...

"Before the election we had a holistic plan targeting all sectors of the economy. It wasn't perfect but it showed how all of these different policies were going to add up to our international climate commitment for 2030. PM Carney has slowly pulled the thread on all that, weakening that commitment."

Just days into 2026, the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has sparked protests around the US. If you’re planning to protest, here’s how to safeguard your digital security.

In 2024, I rose in Senate QP to ask why the Govt of Canada was still using X for official communications. Today, they are still there. What exactly will it take to break the spell?

The American government is at war with it's own citizens.

Actions the Carney gov should take: 1. At minimum, divestment of X/Twitter. Ideally, demands for X to enforce against sexual abuse/exploitation, or else be banned nationwide. 2. Condemnation of US threats against allies and trade partners, meetings with threatened allies to deepen ties. (cont)

THREAD: The ceasefire isn’t stopping Israel from committing genocide in Gaza. Here’s how Israel is still killing Palestinians.

⭕️ The UN human rights office has released a major thematic report on Jan. 7, 2026 concluding that Israel’s rule over the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, amounts to a system of racial segregation and apartheid under international law. The report documents decades of discriminatory...

“The United States has dropped from 30th to 48th in that same year, the biggest drop of any nation BY FAR. Its reputation-peers are now Kuwait, Algeria, Kazakhstan…” That was last year. I can only imagine where the US reputation is now. The fastest destruction of a nation’s reputation in history?

With everything awful & scary going on in the United States & the world, we might momentarily forget that here in Canada, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre STILL REFUSES to apply for the normal security clearance that EVERYONE else in his position has. It’s reasonable to assume he can’t pass it.

It was a mistake to allow a single outlet to monopolize Canadian print media and it was an even bigger mistake to allow it under foreign ownership. Now that the US is proven hostile to Canada's interest, it time to break apart and reclaim Canada's print media.

Fossil fuels are the past.. literally ;-)

Today #yyccc is learning about the reasons behind the Bearspaw Feedermain pipe break. One key factor is #yyc's urban sprawl & low density growth. This comes as Council looks to repeal blanket rezoning. Will Mayor @jeromyyyc.bsky.social or anyone else on council reconsider their decision now?

Colleague Jo Horwood and I tried to find out, how many books were pulled off Alberta school shelves as a result of the gov't order? And what books were they? Turns out, the names of the books are a secret #AbLeg #AbEd www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
