Bernie Sanders did in fact find out about the attack on Iran during his speech in Tulsa. This is that gut wrenching moment when he stopped his speech and announced Trump’s post then informed the audience that we are now at war with Iran. Sanders made clear it’s unconstitutional.

This. Social media influence and the money that buys it do not get enough attention in Canada. @mark-carney.bsky.social please have your party move forward on some legislation before the next election.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 97 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Oh boy... Do we have a show coming up on Sunday! Not only are we going to do our best with our roundup... BUT! We also have 3 new FOIP... Er... ATIA requests back! Corrupt Care! Book Banning! Halal Mortgages! See you Sunday! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

My latest in @edmontonjournal.com . The Journal of the American Medical Association recently advised Long COVID in kids may have now surpassed asthma as the leading paediatric chronic illness. Danielle Smith's response: start charging for and limiting vaccines. edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu...

The Trump regime is deliberately deploying ICE agents at immigration hearings so they can more easily detain migrants. Armed, masked men abducting people from courthouses —and arresting those who ask why — is the stuff fascism is made of.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Alberta Sheriffs are notifying the public of a dangerous sexual offender who has entered Alberta. This convicted felon should not be approached by anyone. Sightings of this person should be reported directly to Danielle Smith of the UCP. #abpoli #UCPCorruption

This is honestly too much. The Premier talking about 135M HC dollars just wasted and acting like she has NOTHING to do with why we are here. Everything she and her govt has done has brought us to this point, a 🧵to recap: buff.ly/HuESfWk 1/10

More than 150 childcare centers across #Alberta are facing a financial crisis after being denied access to a federal affordability grant, forcing them to charge parents up to five times more than subsidized centres.

Mass protests planned for June 14, everyone hit the streets. Every city, every capital. Resist and defend. #3E #HandsOff #Indivisible #FiftyFiftyOne #StopICE #NoKingsProtest Find a confirmed location here (more protests exist but are not listed): nokings.org#map

Before Poilievre lost the election & lost his seat, you could go to ourcommons.ca & look up his voting history since his time in Parliament. You would see any legislation or bills that supported women he voted DOWN. Not sure how to find that historical record now.

Deprescribing, forced tapering, drug seizures, involuntary “care”, and all the other manifestations of criminalization—does not stop people from using drugs. But it does lead to drug supply volatility, increase risk for harm, and death. Thread. #bcpoli

The outcome hardly matters - a referendum campaign itself will hurt the province, the economy, and the UCP. Column. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu... #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #carney #yyc #yeg #Alberta

Our First Nations leave no doubt that they are proud to be Canadian. #ableg #cdnpoli

BREAKING: A huge amount of protestors, including many faith leaders from various religions are lining up in protest of what the Trump administration is doing with immigrants at the Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, NJ.

Watching the Cabinet swearing in on TV Reminds me how grateful I am that it’s not Squirmy Pierre Poilievre at Rideau Hall today. #cdnpoli

Everyone should be writing these letters to the editor.

Danielle Smith is a separatist. She wants Alberta to leave Canada because she simply doesn’t believe in what it means to be Canadian. She is not interested in moving Alberta forward. She only works to tear us—and our country—apart.

1/9 🇨🇦 ALBERTA SEPARATION QUESTION REVEALED 🇨🇦 Separatist group unveils proposed referendum question Monday: "Do you agree that the province shall become a sovereign country and cease to be a province of Canada?" The stark wording sets stage for potential constitutional crisis. #ABpoli #Separatism

Just another reason not to go to the US. Not as long as Dumpy and his fascist friends are running the shit show. Maybe let the various clueless governors in on the danger Canadians and others face at the borders.

Do this, it's important.

Just saw a picture, which I won’t repost, of a stray dog eating a dead baby in the rubble of Gaza. Israel govt now openly blocking all food and saying they are taking Gaza over and Can, US, UK govts & media response… nothing. Our political class and corporate media are soulless ghouls. #cdnpoli

If you hate the idea of abortions, men: Don't fuck. Wear a condom. Get a vasectomy. Find a woman who also doesn't want abortions. Plenty exist. You're 50% of the conception process. You're empowered to make choices for your turgid sperm rocket. You're just not empowered to make MY choices.

Israel is committing mass crimes against humanity aided and abetted by the refusal of the west to say anything. Our refusal to call out the actions of a war crimes state makes this our genocide. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/m...

Alberta's Minister of Forestry and Parks Todd Loewen has made changes to hunting and trapping regulations that threaten our wildlife. His decisions heavily favour the hunters, trappers and outfitters — a group the minister closely associates with — at the expense of all Albertans.

In labour circles we call this bad faith bargaining. In today’s speech she claimed that federal laws are destroying investment confidence while the fact of the matter is that nothing kills investment like threats of separation. afl.org/premier-smit...

The fact that Pierre Poilievre’s culture-war approach lost him not only the election but his own parliamentary seat is a vivid illustration of the point I make here. Australia this weekend is likely to be another www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/e33036f...

This is one of the best ads I have ever seen and I can’t believe I missed it
