he mandate is to serve all #Albertans, not to prioritize the profits of the wealthy and friends. Focus on strengthening public systems, not subsidizing corporate interests. #EndCorporateWelfare #ableg #abpoli #CorruptCare #SavePublicEducation #SavePublicHealth

Bruce Springsteen - Human Touch ❤️🎶🎸🎷🎶

I ain't lookin' for prayers or pity
I ain't comin' 'round searchin' for a crutch
I just want someone to talk to
And a little of that human touch
Just a little of that human touch

You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark

Name another song that mentions the word "Just." 🎶
Written & recorded by Stevie Wonder for the Woman in Red movie soundtrack, the song "I Just Called to Say I Love You" hit #1, on both the Billboard Hot 100 & the Adult Contemporary Charts on October 13, 1984. It stayed at the top for 3 weeks in

Blue Rodeo - Side Of The Road

I started singing this song in my head
just because the sun was high shining bright
and I could smell the fresh cut grass
as I looked up to the blue-white sky
and your eyes they were in my mind
and I just want to hold on to you

"This protest, Johnson said, would be a 'hate America rally' run by 'the pro-Hamas wing and Antifa people.'

"[The first 'No Kings' event back in June], which attracted millions of people, was almost comedically star-spangled in its affect and remarkably peaceful in its execution."

Bill Kristol @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social · 22h

"No Kings is happening, and this is how Republicans are talking about it.

Accusations like 'terrorist wing,' 'pro-Hamas,' and 'Antifa' aren’t just insults. They’re phrases that unlock, in the view of the administration, a permission structure for state violence."

Trump’s Guilt-By-Association Law Enforcement

The groundwork has been laid to go after innocent people, opposition groups, and even No Kings protesters.

A reminder to the #Alberta UCP government: Introducing intermediaries into universal public healthcare and public education will inevitably increase costs for Albertans, diverting hard-earned taxpayer dollars from essential services. #abpoli #ableg #SavePublicHealthcare #SavePublicEducation 🧵

Jordy: Republicans control every branch of government. Every day that passes with the gov shut down is another reminder that Trump and the GOP would rather protect pedos than ensure people have health care. Because once the government reopens, you know what’s coming—a vote on the Epstein files.
