I'm often asked: What motivates Danielle Smith to do the radical things she does? After all, many of her actions fly in the face of public opinion, the constitution, conservative ideology, and her own public commitments. I used to equivocate. I'm about ready to call it.🧵

I'm not saying the UCP's 2026 referendums were planned and predictable. Actually, yes, I am.

So far this week, 5 major US news outlets have contacted me for interviews on Alberta separatism. In an already volatile climate, the attention is not good for investment in this province.

“I don’t want to call it a blockade but… they were stopping people and I held up our Nexus cards and the U.S. customs agent waved us through but as I passed, because our windows are down, he said, ‘Let’s stop and check the next one’,” one traveller said. globalnews.ca/news/1116461...

The Premier is addressing Albertans live at 3pm on Monday to discuss the future of Alberta in Confederation. Nothing that I saw or heard today suggests a groundswell of angst among Albertans. Neither do polls. If she speaks of a crisis on Monday, it's likely imagined or manufactured.

Nazi Germany surrendered in May 1945. For Americans, the Second World War would rage for three more months, until VJ Day in August. But for Russians and those influenced by them, "Victory Day" falls in May. Trump follows the Russian practice, not the American.

In the last few days, the president fell asleep at the pope’s funeral, said he wasn’t making decisions in the White House and fell for an obvious photoshop. Cool. Cool cool cool.

So to recap - randos on the X claimed to "decode" the tattoos (that multiple experts on MS-13 have said had nothing to do with MS-13), someone at the White House took that idea and crudely put "MS-13" on the image, and Trump actually believed that was what the tattoo said. 🤦‍♂️

I had to upload the clip here because it's frankly insane. Possibly the most insane trump clip yet. His brain is pudding

Today, an avowed separatist leader from Quebec called for Canadian unity. Meanwhile, an avowed federalist from Alberta went out of her way to make it easier to launch a sovereignty referendum in her province. Power's a hell of a drug.

I'm going to say it again: the reason CECOT exists, the reason it looks like that, the reason every prisoner is walked in like Hannibal Lecter surrounded by 100 armed men, is because the entire thing is fascist theater - men tortured on camera to feed jeering crowds of bloodthirsty bigots

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

After not adhering to the dress code, sitting in a reserved area, rage-tweeting, lying about tariffs (and lots of other things), it’s time for a well-deserved nap at the Pope’s funeral.

“The test conversations found that both Meta’s official AI helper, called Meta AI, and a vast array of user-created chatbots will engage in and sometimes escalate discussions that are decidedly sexual—even when the users are underage or the bots are programmed to simulate the personas of minors.”

Set a new record today. 11 mins from when I entered the Park2Go lot until I was completely through security and US customs. Never seen it this quite. That's including a shuttle bus from Park2Go to the airport. 😁
