Canada, beware: Alberta is the canary in the coal mine

Canada is not America. Not yet. But if we do not defend our values, compassion, fairness, equality, and truth, we will lose them

The President using the military as his personal police force to intimidate American citizens is deeply un-American. This is the behavior of an autocrat. Full stop.

Yes. They are planning to ditch the constitution, but re-electing the Felon isn’t why.

When they tell you they plan on throwing out the constitution, believe them.

What kind of cop is ok with a criminal mayor but will quit over a social democrat mayor?

Ya, I know the answer too.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.

Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

This would be that same #DougFord government so obsessed with ripping out #BikeLanes they had to make stuff up about them and ignore even their own reports about all the good cycling does for a city. Maybe keep this in mind, Calgary #onpoli #yyccc #yycbike

NEW: A vehicle assigned to a Ford cabinet minister has been recorded at stunt driving speeds 12 times.

The premier's office suggested it was the same driver each time, and implied they still work for the government. #OnPoli

People talking about Harris “ran a bad campaign” while we are hearing the news of children being zip-tied by ICE & we saw a priest (or minister?) being shot in the face with pepper balls because he was praying.

As my grandma like to say, y’all sound “besides like a fool.”

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.
