Sir, you can’t break up with someone who already blocked your number

There are more things to be worried about in the world right now than at any prior point in my lifetime, yet I can still assure you that you are *not* as worried about the Board of Peace as you should be. PROOF explains why the new group is an ongoing crime—and global danger.

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

Given that it took nearly two years to appoint a Special Counsel to investigate Trump, "pressure" is not the word to associate with Merrick Garland.

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

When my students ask how we got here I say the laws are not self-executing. Our contract with our government only works when we elect people of good faith into office

This is an important piece on Sturgeon Lake’s injunction and claim. macleans.ca/politics/alb...

“Both Parks & Dr. Warren Thirsk… urge people who have bad or even tragic experiences to speak out publicly.” “This is how the system continues to ignore the real problems that exist. The privacy laws muzzle physicians.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

This will happen here in Alberta if we do not remain vigilant. Bill 13 already makes it the law society can no longer discipline lawyers for, say, lying or being racist outside of their “practice” Wonder why? So called freedom of expression 🤔

Good morning. New tariff threat just dropped. 200% tariff on French wine (unless France joins the “Board of Peace”). Stabilizing!

Why is it always the female athletes who have courage? The panthers in their cringey red ties and stupid grins is still seared in my head. You can’t buy integrity. And posing with he next Hitler, Trump, will not age well. If you think this is extreme: check out the SS - ICE imagery.

We cannot let it sweep Canada and Greenland. If we don't stop him, I am pretty sure what happens next.

I wrote a Substack on America’s descent into totalitarianism. It’s horrifying to watch the degradation of the rule of the law and the erasure of the police independence in that country. Protecting our sovereign and democratic future has never been a more front of mind mission for Canadians.

BRENNAN: Are your agents going to comply with the order to not use chemical agents? NOEM: That order was a little ridiculous bc the judge told us we couldn't do what we already aren't doing B: We just saw video of chemical agents being used NOEM: We only use them when violence is happening

BRENNAN: Noem called on your to set up a safe zone where protest would be contained. Is that something you're looking at? JACOB FREY: First Amendment speech is not limited to one park or one section of the city. You're allowed to protest so long as you're doing it peacefully

As previously pointed out, there is a real risk of foreign interference in the Alberta independence initiative launched by the Alberta Prosperity Project. Counsel for Sturgeon Lake First Nation has commissioned an expert opinion from Wes Wark to document this risk. 1/ #abpoli #cdnpoli #ableg

"Vast majority of men are only willing to engage in public violence if they feel like the people around them will approve of — and reward them for — that violence. ICE Watch works because it surrounds men seeking approval with people loudly expressing their disapproval." www.ms.now/opinion/minn...

“Old stock white Canadians, and that’s us, and we don’t have to apologize for this room being filled with white people,” said Sylvestre. “This used to be what Alberta was. We’re not apologizing for being ourselves.” Out loud now. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

The mass resignation of Alberta Law Foundation staff shows just how egregious the UCP government’s political interference is. Bill 14 undermines our institutions, puts access to justice at risk, and should be of concern to all Albertans. 3/3 #AbLeg

The UCP’s Bill 14 gives the UCP unprecedented political control over the Foundation, including the power for the minister to make funding decisions, rewrite its bylaws and issue binding directives — effectively allowing the govt to control money that isn’t theirs. 2/3 #AbLeg

🧵 The Alberta Law Foundation has long operated at arm’s length from government, playing a critical role in ensuring Albertans’ access to justice. 1/3 #AbLeg

Please read this piece by @patricklennox.bsky.social. ICE is effectively an anti-law enforcement agency. open.substack.com/pub/plennox/...

Possibly the least shocking development....ever?

If you can’t win a war against the guys on the left hand side, you aren’t going to win it against the guys on the right hand side.

Should we be concerned now, Canada?

Despite being eligible to serve another five years on the Supreme Court of Canada, Justice Sheilah Martin will step down on May 30 — a day before her 70th birthday. @journodale.bsky.social has the story. www.nationalmagazine.ca/en-ca/articl...

The part that should terrify people isn’t the smell. It’s that this is who Republicans want handling national security, foreign policy, and nuclear codes. With that said…that’s disgusting.

Door-to-door warrantless ICE raids are going on now in Minnesota with children in the home. ICE goons with automatic weapons enter, one shined a taser light into the camera to block the mother from videoing ICE searching the home and detaining the occupant. #ICE #FuckICE #Pink #Minnesota #Resist

Patty, a woman observer in Minneapolis, was abducted from a car by federal agents today. She was released and talked about her experience in custody. An agent said, "You guys gotta stop obstructing us. That's why that lesbian bitch is dead." 🙏🏼 @statuscoupnews.bsky.social

Trump posts that he’s “Acting President of Venezuela”

Attempting to criminalize the actions of an independent public servant, Fed Chair Jay Powell, for the sin of acting independently is an outrage. It's bad economics, bad politics, bad for the rule of law, bad for the public sector, bad for American credibility and bad for Americans.

I agree with Bob Rae but I have to ask; where was the defence of international law in Palestine, when he had the power to say and do something? We should have realized then, that this violation of law and norms would normalize it…. Everywhere. @susandelacourt.bsky.social

"Despair is always the cop-out,” (Bob Rae said).You can’t let yourself get into that frame.Despair prevents you from finding solutions. Despair stops you from thinking creatively.And it really is important for people to focus on what constructively we can do together” www.thestar.com/politics/pol...

"When bad times come, then I'll get whatever I want.” "You know what solves it? When the economy crashes, when the country goes to total hell and everything is a disaster. Then you'll have a [laughs], you know, you'll have riots to go back to where we used to be when we were great."

"One of Trump's most consistent beliefs is that the world will end in nuclear annihilation. He mentions this often in older interviews. He fears it. I worry the way he copes with his fear of annihilation is by becoming the annihilator. The man who can end the world." www.youtube.com/watch?v=htdw...

Good grief Gestapo with a drawl

DO IT. This isn't about free expression or politics, it is about the rule of law.

Canada’s Department of National Defence plans to mobilize 300,000 citizen reservists to strengthen military readiness. Apply here: forces.ca/en/reserve-f... #cdnpoli #canadastrong

Thousands of people across Mexico are holding massive demonstrations to declare their intent to protect their sovereignty and fight any invaders, this is in response to the growing US threat.

It's important to know who said what and when because 1) it shows who to trust in terms of analysis 2) it shows potential targets of the state who to trust in terms of protection. If they had power and didn't take Epstein or ICE seriously before 2025, they're bullshitting now. And that's dangerous.

Is there a federal reporter out there who has asked Carney, or will ask Carney, about ICE?

US President Donald Trump threatens to invade and attack other countries: “We have to do it again [in other countries]. We can do it again, too. Nobody can stop us." #VenezuelaInvasion

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up. But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.

These people are out of their minds. They are endangering the whole world. This has to stop. This is the wife of the man who is currently running foreign policy for the United States:
