Omg this Stephen Colbert Video has be rolling laughing this am. It's a sad state when no one can speak their mind on TV in America though

Despite refusing to coordinate with the state or city, we’re monitoring the ongoing federal deployments that are instilling fear in our communities. Americans have a right to peaceful assembly and to make their voices heard. Even if the Trump admin won’t follow the law, we will.

First the immigrants, next transgender people, followed by comedians, now the teachers…anybody else see a pattern? The domino effect of taking away human rights, free speech, and the right to an education….

Many of their products are gluten free too!

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert just dropped its first response to ABC, FCC chair, and Disney firing Jimmy Kimmel. This is a must-watch. 🔥 #cdnpoli

From the DM’s… Medicine Hat has no obstetrical coverage for the entire weekend. While Danielle Smith goes to war with teachers and trans kids, Alberta’s 7th largest city has no obstetricians available to deliver babies. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

As many of you know, this week Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel under pressure from Trump. That is censorship, plain and simple. And when corporations act like this, we all pay the price, because free speech is a pillar of our democracy.

“I don’t know what’s going on and nobody does” is such a telling thing to throw in there. I think everyone knows exactly what’s going on? Also why would your dad send you a hundred texts saying the same thing

King Charles during President Trump's visit to the UK: In two world wars we fought together to defeat the forces of tyranny. Today, as tyranny once again threatens Europe, we and our allies stand together in support of #Ukraine to deter aggression and secure peace.

The first time an Alberta government invoked the notwithstanding clause, public outrage forced a reversal in less than 24 hours. I wish to God Albertans would show the same moral fury now, when school children are outed & bullied by the government that is supposed to protect them. #ableg #abpoli

Sheinbaum: I didn’t say this in the meeting, Prime Minister Carney, but I’m saying it right now. We celebrate the constant growth of Canadian tourism in Mexico. We truly celebrate it because we have an increasingly growing number of families and visitors choosing Mexico as their tourist destination.

I know there's a lot of shit going on right now, but don't let this go under your radar.

We’re gonna need to send Jon Stewart to the bunker with John Oliver too.

"As you are aware, the premier's office has directed that legislation be developed for the fall legislative session to amend the following pieces of legislation to permit each to operate notwithstanding the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Alberta Bill of Rights," Malcolm Lavoie memo

Jimmy Kimmel didn’t use hate speech. He used speech you hated.

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Further sign that we will be having a province-wide teachers strike. Alberta government is going to spend money on an advertising campaign against the ATA.

"Hollywood blasted the White House for targeting free speech after ABC pulled 'Jimmy Kimmel'. Unions representing writers and actors said the move amounted to an attack on constitutionally protected free-speech rights, saying ABC should not have caved in the face of U.S. gov. pressure." Reuters

Alberta uses public tax dollars to fund public, charter and PRIVATE schools. 😡 No wonder kids in public schools get the least funding in the country! #AB #education #ABpolitics #failingstudents

It should be way bigger news that Trump effectively killed any attempt by foreign countries to build new factories in the United States with this idiotic ICE move. Just incalculable long term damage. Trump just killed his "build America" push www.wsj.com/world/asia/c...

Senate Republicans Block Vote To Release Epstein Files: Who are they protecting? #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles

Former Brazil president Bolsonaro has been sentenced to 27 years and three months in prison after being convicted of attempting a coup to remain in office despite his 2022 electoral defeat. Trump for fomenting an insurrection was coronated king.

This is the biggest story in America right now. Coffee up 20.9% year-over-year Steaks up 16.6% Apples up 9.6% Bananas, 6.6%. www.axios.com/2025/09/11/t...

JUST IN: A historic conviction: Brazil's Supreme Court delivers a majority vote to convict former President Jair Bolsonaro over a plot to overthrow the government.

Without comment:

I just issued an executive order to safeguard vaccine access in Minnesota. While the Trump Administration attempts to limit Americans’ access to preventative care, Minnesota will continue to be guided by science and the freedom to seek out medical expertise.

The raid stalled a battery plant that would have employed Georgians in good-paying jobs. She screwed her own voters. Most of the S Korean workers weren’t “taking jobs.” They were specialists brought in to get the plant operational. Their expertise was the bridge to thousands of American jobs. -end-

Sometimes I really do hate being right...but #ImNotDoneYet! This is #OurHomeOurRiding in #BattleRiverCrowfoot and #OurCountry

@revealinglight.bsky.social Preston was the one who opened the door and helped remove the “progressive” part from the Canadian Conservative Party, becoming ideologues (Maple MAGA). This is terrible.

Here’s the result of the #UCP BS policy targeting girls who just want to play sports. 10 girls who didn’t get their info in on time were turned away. 3 other schools’ girls soccer teams had to withdraw; the whole season is now in jeopardy. Even so, boys still get to play. You suck Dani. #abpoli

Once Donald Trump gets the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law – what comes next?

EVERYONE IN CHICAGOLAND: Save this number in your phone. If you see an ICE raid: 1. Ask the the person their name 2. Ask who to call to let them know they’ve been taken by ICE 3. Tell them to not say anything 4. Call this number to report the arrest If possible video it

More and more people are turning to independent media like Meidas. People like Don Lemon or Jim Acosta have contacts in government and law enforcement and their reports are authentic. Lawrence O’Donnell or Rachel Maddow. Respected people with integrity and courage.

Authoritarians thrive on your silence — be loud — for America.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

NEW: The Government of Alberta has approved the use of photo radar at two Calgary intersections starting Oct. 3 after its ban last year: Both eastbound and westbound 16 Avenue at 68 Street N.E. Both eastbound and westbound Highway 1A at Twelve Mile Coulee Road N.W.

The August jobs report: 2024 (Biden): 142,000 jobs added 2025 (Trump): 22,000 jobs added. Highest unemployment since 2021. “We underperformed just a bit…” - Labor Secretary

I believe in freedom to read. Reading fiction has proven to improve mental health, empathy and the list goes on. This government is unbelievable. 😡

This is disgraceful, disgusting, disappointing and DISCRIMINATORY! First banning books, now this.
