the real story behind this viral photo is even more heartbreaking than the one the public created.

"The count suddenly dropped by 24,000 votes. After all their work, a huge and successful effort, Water Not Coal was suddenly 5,000 votes short." "And yet, according to Elections Alberta, there’s at least a five per cent chance they’re wrong." #abpoli calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

“Three men were in the van with Lorenzo at the time of the shooting, including his brother. They have been detained, and their whereabouts are unknown. There is fear the men will be quickly deported to prevent them from providing testimony about ICE’s actions.” www.thebulwark.com/p/he-lived-h...

“You have to work for your $100. “But worse, you have to consent to the government storing your banking information in their database. “I feel my privacy and security are being eroded in the name of digital convenience.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

So they really…intervened to overturn an unjust decision against a birthright citizen. This timeline is wild

Human rights human dignity human safety human flourishing and the flourishing of the Earth and all of us, interconnected. Every choice, law, governance, policy, everything should flow from these things. It's. Not. Fucking. Complicated.

4 years ago, Fernando Bórquez, Javiera Figueroa and their 3 yo son Silvetre moved to Calgary from Chile to be temporary foreign workers. Silvestre finished Grade 1, and dad says his English writing is better than his Spanish. But fed. immigration rules changed. #Ableg www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

love to my trans friends. fuck SCOTUS.

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States...are citizens of the United States." That's the 14th amendment. And four MAGA activists in robes said, "nah." They barely lost while demonstrating how illigitimate this court is. Term limits and expansion or bust.

With seven decisions with the *same* 6-3 lineup over the last three days, I really can't wait for all of the hot takes from the folks who keep insisting that #SCOTUS *isn't* defined by its ideological division.

The Tea Party was (1) small protests which were (2) hyped by media & (3) led to the election of radical nut jobs who (4) badly broke US politics. What we have now are (1) huge protests that were (2) dismissed by media but (3) still got a few candidates in deep blue NYC who (4) will work to fix it.

Every Albertan must take the threat of separation seriously. We all have a responsibility to stand up for Canada.

This is who they are… Presumptive to assume that Canadian National Parks would not be retained by Canada. #ForeverCanadian #ableg #CdnPoli

In California's pro-Trump Shasta County, the Trump/GOP "Big Beautiful Bill" will cause 6,000 residents to lose their food assistance, and at least 17,200 to lose their health insurance. Now the disastrous MAGA takeover of Shasta County politics is collapsing: www.sfchronicle.com/california/a...

The Canada Strong Pass is back. Free access to our national parks. Lower entry fees at museums. Free rail travel for your kids. From now until September 7th, you and your family can explore more of Canada for a lot less.

That's right.

"So ... so I said ... why not sign your treaty here, at Versailles?"

This Trump G7 press conference is mind-numbing. Every. single. enabler. of this president should be ashamed of themselves. I'm looking at you, Congress. (cartoon from 2020)

We didn’t get here because of “divisive” politics. We got here because fascism and racism and misogyny and Christian nationalism…

"If post-Trump America is to be a post-authoritarian one, it will have to embark on a Second Reconstruction, and Democrats will need to lead it."

Just think when it happens the whole country will look like nyc tonight

That’s the perfect name for this time of oligarchs: “the Re-Gilded Age.”

Can’t be repeated enough👇🏽 Just so insane

BREAKING: The House just passed a war powers resolution to rein in Trump’s ability to wage war on Iran. After numerous attempts, the legislation passed for the first time, with four Republicans joining every Democrat in support.

“I’m Kid Rock.” “I’m Naomi Wolf.” “I’m Kanye West.” “I’m Matt Taibbi.” “I’m Catturd. Those stories, plus Rob Schneider, tonight on 60 Minutes.”

We're gonn have an election where the tipping point seat is like R+4. Basically the Wisconsin gop playbook for the entire nation writ large, where there's a strucrual advantage in the Senate, the electoral college and the house towards GOP such that they can control all of government with a minority

Summer is around the corner, and so is the return of the Canada Strong Pass.   Starting June 19, we’re making it easier for Canadians to discover more of our country, for less — with free admission to national parks and reduced costs for museums and rail travel.

An old world is dying, a new world is struggling to be born, now is the time of Bari Weiss enshittification. There is a definite possibility that @hcrichardson.bsky.social IS now bigger than @cbsnews.com and that is some kind of rubicon in the dying old media/rising new media moment.
