This is America.

brilliant

Oh boy.

This should be pretty obvious by now, but in case it isn’t. We have a masked, anonymous federal police force. Countries that have those are not democracies.

“Americans are being forced to accept masked paramilitary forces stopping you anytime, anywhere—demanding to know where people are from,” says @chrislhayes.bsky.social. “It is an assault on the idea of America itself.”

He put himself on the First Lady wall lol

"It is believed that Secretary Noem may have been inadvertently exposed to trace amounts of integrity."

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman. She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

This is heartbreaking. (via someone at the St. Paul rally)

Alberta govt, as predicted, is following the "advice" of RFK Jr around vaccines.

Cool to see library in Banff lets you borrow tools and cooking appliances.

It is imperative to recognize and call out this regime's bigoted identity politics. Their treatment of nonwhite electeds amounts to Taneyism. To them, these officials hold no authority they are bound to respect. Padilla, McIver, Baraka are merely the latest. They are doing this to POC on purpose.

Today's America, shameful. :-(

Airdrie Mayor Peter Brown, without council's knowledge, and without the knowledge or consent of Airdrie citizens, pursued a private hospital using city resources in concert with a big developer, Qualico, and with the premier's advisor Rob Anderson, who is unelected. There should be a public inquiry.

Meanwhile... In Alberta, the UCP has quietly increased the co-pay amount for seniors by up to 25% of current levels. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

🔔ACTION ALERT: This Wednesday, June 11, Premier Danielle Smith and the Ministers of Energy, Environment, and Agriculture are hosting a Coal Town Hall in Fort Macleod. We encourage everyone to show up and make their voices heard to say NO to coal mining in our Eastern Slopes. #coal

Tom Petty’s estate did more to condemn homophobia and hate crimes than the San Antonio Police Department and the official King of the Hill page Hate motivated violence deserves extra condemnation

If a seven-year-old can’t walk to the store the fault lies not with the parents but with the community.

if aaron rodgers had waited like 2 more hours he could have been in charge of doge instead

Alberta now has more measles cases than even Texas! Alberta has surpassed Texas in measles cases, reporting 749 cases compared to Texas’ 742. Texas population is 31 million, while Alberta has a population of 5 million We can do better.

Hey @ucalgary.bsky.social let's do this too. @the-subtender.bsky.social make it happen!

Pretty much.

We would be wise to heed Dr Harrison's advice

Absolutely stunning ultra-high resolution @planet.com SkySat imagery of the Klein Nesthorn landslide, which buried the village of Blatten, Switzerland yesterday. @davepetley.bsky.social @eth-eaps.bsky.social @vaw-glaciology.bsky.social @kristencook.bsky.social @annepellegrino.bsky.social 🧪⚒️🛰️

Treating a new Covid strain like a crime and not a public health issue is deranged.

GOOD FOR SCOTT PELLEY OF CBS NEWS. “Our sacred rule of law is under attack,” Pelley began his message. “Journalism is under attack. Universities are under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack, and insidious fear is reaching through our schools, our businesses and into our private thoughts.”

Just want to reiterate that I’d be very surprised if this happens. Trump can only pardon Chauvin for his federal conviction. If he does, Chauvin gets moved to state prison, where he’d get less protection. To get out, he’d need a state pardon too. And I don’t think Tim Walz is going to do that.

Smith’s take over of health, vaccine policy, hospitals, allowing corporate money in politics and purporting to take control of land, infrastructure and municipal funding from Ottawa. This legislative suite is grotesque and kleptocratic. If this sounds extreme, Alberta can now sell hospitals

Ok Canada and France, now let's see your follow through. youtu.be/jgAKd7Wt2BI?...

⚡️Zelensky gifts pope with icon from war-torn Izium. Zelensky presented Pope Leo XIV with the icon"Mother of God with Child," painted on an artillery box. The icon represents children "who suffered from the war, who were deliberately kidnapped and deported by Russia."

Robert “Ed” Smylie, the NASA official who saved the Apollo 13 crew in 1970, has died at 95. He cobbled together an apparatus made of cardboard, plastic bags and duct tape after an explosion crippled the spacecraft as it sped toward the moon. nyti.ms/3Sbusb3

If this person sat next to you on a bus or train and started ranting about Bruce Springsteen in this way, you would get up and move to a different seat. In the United States, we have him the nuclear codes.
