This is astounding. It shows Albertans paid double - sometimes triple! - for surgeries at private surgical facilities connected to friends of the UCP than through AHS. And the Premier’s staff & Health Minister allegedly pressured & then fired the CEO of AHS when she asked questions about them.

I learned today that Tesla Motors was co-founded in 2003, by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. I mistakenly thought it was founded by Elon Musk. I now note how widely this myth is restated by media. www.businessinsider.com/tesla-cofoun...

"When a party like the Conservatives have no real social project, they rely on vacant nationalism and latent bigotry to fill in the gaps of what is being expressed." Bang on, @nolore.bsky.social As is the sentiment at the end: we need to be ready to fight this horseshit in the coming election.

There are new allegations that the Minister of Health, Adriana LaGrange, was involved in dictating the price that AHS was to pay for multi-million-dollar contracts and ordered AHS to shut down and cover up its internal investigations. 🔽🧵 www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

This poll is out of step with most other polling and should be taken as such, but the absolute bloodbath it portends for the NDP does make a certain sense. The liberal swing voters the fed party courted are fleeing back to Carney, and the chasm where the left base used to be is showing. #cdnpoli

A swastika t-shirt is the only item on the Yeezy website. Powered by Shopify. It's not the first time Shopify has powered stores selling items with Swastikas. I've reached out to them about this before, and they kept powering the stores. The only thing they changed, eventually, was their rules.

Today the @nytimes.com sought to whitewash its central role in laundering anti-trans falsehoods and turbocharging anti-trans attacks nationwide. My reporting showed that editorial leadership was aware of this depravity which is why this disingenuous piece can’t erase the scale of what they’ve done.

No other premier in Alberta history could survive 48 hours under the cloud of suspicion Smith now faces. Over half a billion dollars makes Sky Palace look like a sandcastle. If her cabinet and MLAs aren't meeting to discuss, it's a dereliction of duty. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

We have enough validity right now, but what cis folks CAN actually do: - Contribute to GFMs for trans care and travel (we are a very impoverished demographic!) - Help a trans person get a job - Help a trans person move - Vocally oppose anti-trans legislation (yell at reps, not random bigots online!

Every time a centrist said that the best thing to do was to meet 'gender critical' people in middle on the rights of trans people, among other things, I would think of this video of Graham Linehan laughing about a trans woman getting raped every day in a man's prison. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KwR...
