Alberta-wide day of protest May 29th. Fightbacknow.ca for info #ableg #abpoli #yyc #ymm #yql #yeg

San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria has spent years dehumanizing Palestinians & boycotting events critical of the Israeli Govt. Now in the wake of a horrific tragedy in San Diego in which white supremacists killed 3 Muslims he hears it from a San Diego resident. Video credit: @andrewmercado.bsky.social

Today marks the 78th anniversary of The Nakba, meaning “catastrophe” in Arabic, which began in 1948 when over 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly displaced from their homes, with hundreds of villages destroyed, and tens of thousands of people were murdered. The Nakba never ended.

Among hard-core Alberta separatists, the level of contempt for courts and hate for Indigenous people is palpable following yesterday's ruling. This is going to be an ugly summer. Reasonable Albertans will need to stand up for the constitution and treaties. Staying silent is being complicit.+

There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars: 1) Profiting from a monopoly 2) Insider-trading 3) Political payoffs 4) Fraud 5) Inheritance Don’t believe the self-made myth.

Now, the Supreme Court has just opened the way for Alabama to redistrict and exclude the Black vote, which will eventually weaken Black leadership. That's how fast white bigotry works compared to how long it takes to build diversity leadership. Years of progress gone in a blink of an eye……

I wrote this in 2016.

Ending Western Warmongering Should Be Our Number One Priority It should take priority over every other societal concern, in the same way your husband being a serial killer would be a more urgent concern than his refusal to wash dishes. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/ending-wes...

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

In 2025, #ucp AB Premier uses taxpayer $$$ to visit a convicted criminal, adjudicated rapist, Epstein associate and child rapist. All widely reported facts in 2025 at time of visit. #ableg #abpoli #grift

If you want to understand why our economy is rigged for the super rich, look at this graph.

Israel 'intercepted', near Crete, a peaceful flotilla taking food to the starving people of Gaza and detained 175 activists. To be clear, they were abducted in international waters. It was piracy and a flagrant violation of international law. Under Netanyahu, Israel is a rogue, terrorist state.

Just another day in Alberta where the grift is completely normalized. #ucp #ableg #abpoli

What right-wingers cannot handle is moderation. They simply can’t hack it in places where the best ideas rise to the top and the worst ideas are disregarded and subjected to the scorn and derision they deserve. Ironically, enough, what conservatives can’t handle is a marketplace of ideas.

ESPN unironically teases a segment on the 22 year old Texas Tech QB who is headed to rehab for his gambling addiction and then tosses it to 5 minutes of NHL prop bets for tonight. I don’t what to say other than sports betting is a scourge and an epidemic among young men and needs to go.

First the scandal, then the surveillance Here's my pal @tuthanhha.bsky.social with a deep dive on the harrassment of a former AHS board member, AHS' former CEO, and reporters from The Globe and Mail. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben & Jerry's, was arrested after confronting Robert F Kennedy Jr about Gaza during a hearing on Capitol Hill: “Congress sent the bombs that kill children in Gaza and paid for them with cuts to Medicaid,” he shouted before his arrest. Follow me if you think this is BS arrest

Well-earned description of Carlson: "a Nazi propagandist...a promoter of Nazi propaganda such as the vile replacement myth, which he promotes to help energize ethnic cleaning and genocide and stochastic violence.." reminds me of the activities a certain Julius Streicher. #Nuremberg

Jeff Rath got his first thing right: “Coincidentally, I asked separatist leader Jeffrey Rath yesterday if he considers forming a separatist party like the Parti Quebecois in Quebec. ‘We’ve already got one — the United Conservative Party,’ he said.” #ableg calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

Israel’s actions need to be stopped; Gaza is a humanitarian catastrophe. Now the world watches as homes and neighborhoods are destroyed in Lebanon. For what? Decisions by the Israeli government and the.. 👇🏾

Totally. US Civil Rights Act signed into law 1964. Reagan elected in 1980 on a platform which essentially indicates long term goal to start dismantling the Act. His racist "Welfare queens" nonsense and so on.

I definitely see the problem that six men would have if all the rest of us decided to take everything they've stolen away from them.

This is cheating. You are supposed to have to wait years between reading the next book in the series until it is released.

Petition to "direct the Foreign Influence Transparency Commissioner to immediately investigate the meetings between the Alberta Prosperity Project and the Trump administration" #ableg #abpoli

Once again, based on an observation of their actions there is no doubt the #ucp is a separatist party. #abpoli #ableg

In the 70's the Government owned Energy, it built houses, it owned Public Services and it employed people. Now billionaires own it all, and they pay you too. So every year prices go up more than wages. It's not complicated why things are only getting worse. It's billionaires

"Expanding public housing has also been shown to exert a price-dampening effect on the private rental market, which works against the financial interests of landlords and investors." Many of whom are MLAs and MPs, who are not about to disrupt the status quo that benefits them. #abpoli #ableg

This is a major line being crossed by Alberta's UCP government. Throwing out the work of an independent boundaries committee is authoritarian and extremely anti-democratic.

Billionaires take money, not make money. Their workers are the ones who make the money. Bezos is not on the floor in his warehouses. Musk is not the one making his electric cars. Zuckerberg is not the one coding his Facebook. Billionaires take the money that workers make.

an underrated, unforgivable belief that remains prevalent among pols and normies is that a rising tide lifts all boats when it’s been clear forever that a rising tide simply drowns the people on low lying land

Political apathy is engineered. You need to fight it. Every. Single. Day. And you're gonna hate to hear this, but when you're really honest with yourself, it's rooted in privilege. Feel it. But don't stay in it. You think Palestinians have time to be apathetic? Exactly. Get back to it ✊️🇵🇸

Last week, @policyalternatives.ca put together an urgent call for Canada to tax the profits that the oil and gas industry is making off the war in Iran. Yesterday, the best Carney could do was removing tax on average people, further defunding the state. www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

For-profit care. Private care exists for profit. The aim is profit, not saving taxpayers money, not improving care, it is for profit. This always ends up costing taxpayers more with worse outcomes for the population. Everything is for sale in #ucp Alberta. #abpoli #ableg

The world watched as Israel razed Gaza to the ground. Now, the world is watching as Israel razes Lebanon to the ground. War crimes beget war crimes — and the failure to bring Israel to justice for genocide has emboldened it to destroy human life with total impunity.

The point is to let private interests get faster access to taxpayer money. #ucp #ableg

The #ucp are grifters. It is what they do, it is what this is...use legislation to enrich a few.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

Never forget. #cdnpoli

This week, I will be forcing a vote on legislation to block the sale of nearly half a billion dollars worth of bombs and bulldozers to the Israeli military. The extremist Netanyahu government that has committed genocide in Gaza does not need more military support from American taxpayers.

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:

Alberta and #ucp separatists and grifters will never accept this universal truth. #abpoli #ableg

“I’ve seen people say the young woman in question should just quit, which makes it obviously why this act is oppressive. It leaves her with no good options.” Say it louder for the folks in the back of the room: sexual harassment is the modus operandi of a gendered class war.

Mexico—a nation with 1/17th GDP of USA—is rolling out universal healthcare to its 130M citizens. Starting April 13, Mexicans 85+ will have access to universal healthcare. By Jan 2027, Mexico will expand universal healthcare to all people, with full coverage of drugs, lab tests, etc by 2030. 1/2
