“About 500 severely normal Albertans, many as pissed as summer hornets, filled the hall to the brim.” Andrew Nikiforuk on a boisterous “coal town hall” with Premier Danielle Smith. thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

Happy Obama Appreciation Day 🇺🇸✨ On this day, we honor leadership grounded in hope, dignity, and class. President Barack Obama reminded us that intelligence, empathy, and calm strength belong in the White House. 💙🇺🇸 #HappyObamaAppreciationDay #NoKingDay

OMG, y’all. ROTFL🤣 It looks like Trump had crowd-size issues again. What a fantastic way to close #ObamaDay Please pass it on so others can see what an epic failure he is. #NoKings

Love this for Traitor Dani as she faces derision, likely thinking that Fort MacLeod would be safe for a town hall. Instead she & her crew were met w/ heckling, clapping, & signs against coal expansion in the Rockies; in 2021, a panel ruled fish & water quality outweigh economic benefits. #abpoli

Danielle is the worst premier in Alberta's history. Worst government in Alberta's history. #DanielleSmithIsUnfitToLead #ableg #UCPgrift #NeverVoteConservative #Alberta Say #NoToCoal UCP destroying public education, public health care, and the environment.

Thank to all the @dailybeanspod.com listeners who reserved trump parade tickets but went to #NoKings protests instead. It’s because of people like us that they expected 200K but got fewer than 10K - generating images like this.

Read this thread. Aryn lays waste to the governments claims to the costs for vaccines. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Happy #ObamaDay my friends! An amazing dad, husband, & President ~ a man that will forever, without any effort, live rent free in the deranged mind of #Trump #SheShed

On this day, we celebrate a real President with poise, temperament and integrity… who didn’t sound like an uneducated, hateful moron every time he spoke. #Obama #NoKingsDay #Resist

Happy Obama recognition day folks Ya'll know what to do 😀

On the day that millions march in the streets. When police threaten to shoot protesters "graveyard dead". On the day that we witness horrific political assassinations it's time to talk about the rise of fascist threat in the United States. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3Gl...

In classic Friday afternoon bad-news dump, UCP moves to make COVID vaccines expensive and hard to find. albertapolitics.ca/2025/06/in-c...

<thread> On the left: June 12, Judge Breyer writing that THE test for whether the US Marines/Guard violate Posse Comitatus will be whether they've engaged in "detaining" civilians. On the right: June 13: See for yourself. Note: The DoD has confirmed the detention of civilian to Reuters.

No Kings protest underway in Houston

If you are a Canadian living in 🇺🇸 the Government of Canada 🇨🇦 asks that you not attend the No Kings Protest or LA demonstrations in case you are put in immigrant detention: globalnews.ca/news/1123968...

My mindset is being challenged today. Between the attacks in Minnesota and the bombings in Iran and the hope for a good turnout in No Kings protests across North America. Giving everything up to the universe to sort out.

This is my kind of leader! #NoKings

This is my kind of leader #NoKings

Imagine if Obama had done a FRACTION of what Turnip is doing... #NoKings

Mayor Peter Brown has responded to the Airdrie urgent care scandal. Not with accountability. Not with clarity. But with a Facebook Live full of deflection, gaslighting, and “technically, we didn’t lie” spin. Let’s break it down. 🧵 #ableg #abhealth

Today is June 14th and here is a photo of Barack Obama, 44th president of the United States #Obama #aRealPresident

It’s Obama appreciation day!! #NoKings

Hello from Berlin where a few hundred Americans are outside the embassy, currently reading aloud from the Declaration of Independence. #nokings

At the #Calgary airport! Awesome! #SlavaUkraine

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

It's not just undocumented people who should be careful If you are a green card holder, are in the US on a visa, have Temporary Protected Status or are pursuing an asylum claim Do NOT march without consulting an attorney The Trump administration has been very aggressive even to those here legally

If you’re undocumented, don’t march tomorrow. Stay home. Let the rest of us get this one. Solidarity ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

It's Not Supposed To Be Like This open.substack.com/pub/kylekasa...

This donut speaking about "bringing coal development into the 21st century" and "responsible coal development" and "preventing selenium before it gets in the water". No actual plan, no actual names process, no actual facts. Good on all the folks calling him out.

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”. This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

Right now there are more U.S. troops deployed to Los Angeles than there are to Syria and Iraq combined.

#ThisIsNotNormal

Here is the statement I made in Ottawa on Trump's visit to Canada in the G7. This comes as people of California face down the threat of a police state. Why is a convicted criminal, sexual predator who has threatened our nation allowed to cross the border? www.youtube.com/watch?v=VT7R...

Charlie said in this clip what millions of Canadians are feeling. #G7 a must watch. 🇨🇦 🇨🇦

Just because Alberta and Saskatchewan are putting US liquor on the shelves doesn't mean that you have to buy it. #USboycott #abpoli #saskpoli #cdnpoli
