Saturday: Moon in Virgo in its waxing Half Moon with the Gemini Sun. All this Mercury business can manifest as trying to do too much, and over analyzing to the stiffling of progress. Just do it and see how it goes.

Alright, time for art, history, culture, nature and a sweet Pow Wow to attend. Politics Free Weekend is here. I've already done my time in the mines this week. Rest is Resistance my beauties 🔥💗🌿 🕊️ Really really absurdist 💩 posters? Also laughing as exquisite medicine ✨

On May 29, I'm joining Albertans to take a stand. From privatizing our healthcare system and constant attacks on our rights to selling our mountains and stoking separatist sentiment, this government has gone too far. It's time to fight back. Join me! Fight Back Hub: fightbacknow.civicdeeds.com

Hey Albertans, need something to DOOOO to deal with the UCP fascist menaces that are 19 Fascists stacked inside the torn hide of an everyday Albertan? There's at LEAST 3 different orgs now that we can join forces with. But you don't have to do it all. Like Minnesotans did, pick maybe one help ✨🤔

It’s official. Danielle Smith has decided to make us fight for the future of our province and our country. It’s not a fight we were asking for, but it’s one we’re damn well going to win. Join us - foralbertaforcanada.ca. #abpoli

We are Albertans, we build things, we innovate and we imagine better. If you are angry, then start making changes. Be a canvasser for the Water not Coal petition, join the Forever Canada movement, get involved in a political party or email [email protected]. We could use your help!

Someone just sent me a photo of this gentleman in Westlock. Apparently, he’s been in front of his residence all day, holding this sign. Seeing such spontaneous show of love for Canada fills me with joy, but he shouldn’t have to do this. He should be able to rest, not worrying. #ableg #cdnpoli

“This entire mess has been a cynical political exercise by the Premier. It serves no one in Alberta. A referendum on whether to hold a referendum is not a clear question. This whole thing is a waste of time and money,” Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation would like a word. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

“Treaty 8 First Nations are urging Premier Danielle Smith and the Government of Alberta to immediately pause any further separation-related or referendum-related processes” Treaty 8 would like a word… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

This week we met with key national 2SLGBTQI+ national partners, including Egale Canada, Society of Queer Momentum, Pride at Work, Community Based Reaearch Centre, and Fierte Pride. We are united in supporting Canada’s 2SLGBTQI+ communities to grow, contribute, and thrive! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

This was spot on. Governments make laws. Courts interpret and enforce them within the bounds of the constitution. No government should be above the law. edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu...

This UCP government has gotten away with too much for too long. Stripping us of our rights, making backroom deals with conmen & corporate insiders, overriding the decisions of courts, & are helping a hostile foreign power break our country apart.

Alberta, let this sink in: In Canadian history, only 2 premiers initiated referenda on separating from Canada: - René Lévesque 1980 - Jacques Parizeau 1995 Both Quebec separatists who nearly destroyed Canada. Today, Danielle Smith will join their ranks. #ableg #cdnpoli

It’s time to stand up for the country we love - and the province we love. Time to stand up for authentic Alberta values. Whatever happens today, I’m saying yes to Canada, and no to politics of hate and division. #cdnpoli #ableg #abpoli

Alberta's separatist movement wants control of the land, without engaging with First Nations and Treaty obligations Indigenous scholar Matt Wildcat joined me on our latest @breachmedia.ca podcast to talk about law, land, and Treaty in Alberta politics breachmedia.ca/alberta-sepa...

Hoekstra said he was "not aware" of the 10x Vote app yet was seen on video promoting it. The US is interfering in our democracy. Alberta Separatist Group’s Controversial Voter ID App Has Links to US Ambassador, MAGA Influencers and Wealthy Michigan Republicans pressprogress.ca/alberta-sepa...

Yep, and people don't see the dystopian cage of control and brutality that is rapidly being built around them. Frogs in boiling water.

That overthrows the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Ellison is confessing to treason.

Join #ForeverCanadian #abpoli www.forever-canadian.ca/en Forever Canadian did not keep info on those who signed the petition and do not have access to the voter list so the get out the vote has to be built.

Amazing crowd this morning supporting For Alberta For Canada! We are here to defeat Danielle Smith’s referendum on separation. Join us: foralbertaforcanada.ca #abpoli

Narrator: Unfortunately, the UCP has *not* learned its lesson and still cannot fully comprehend the duty to consult with First Nations.

Danielle Smith is creating fear and division with her separatist referendum. We’re not going to let her tear this place apart. We’re going to show our love for our province and our country, and we’re going to fight like hell to save it. Join us: ForAlbertaForCanada.ca

But we will continue with our present case. As our blog makes clear we think it is a better vehicle to challenge the Guidance than starting again. And we will bring further (we already have a number afoot and will report on these next month) piecemeal challenges. /5

But responsibility clearly also rests with a Labour Government that is content to throw under the bus whoever the US Christian Right targets. A very sad day for those of us who hoped that Labour might be different to or better than the Conservatives - it is no better and in some ways worse. /3

Responsibility for this rests, yes, with a Supreme Court that was I believe - there is so much evidence - simply biased, transphobic. Our Supreme Court is barely better than the US Supreme Court - indeed, given that our political biases are less transparent, it might be said to be worse. /2

It can be true both that the Statutory Guidance is less bad than the EHRC wanted it to be (in large part because of our case) and still terrible and unworkable: for trans people, for businesses trying to do their best, and for those who don't want to conform to patriarchal gender norms. /1
