Never since 1905, when Alberta became a province, was a petition with nearly half a million signatures tabled in the Legislature.
Never was a Premier presented with such clear choice between right and wrong.
Premier, do the right thing. Avoid a divisive referendum. #ableg

Hegseth’s name card says “SSECRETARY OF WAR.” (sic)
Either more of that egregious White House incompetence or just openly flaunting the whole SS thing now. Or both maybe.

Turns out they/them pronouns are useful when you want to distance yourself from responsibility for the war crimes.
Hegseth: "As President Trump always has our back, we always have the back of our commanders who are making decisions in difficult situations. All these strikes, they're making judgement calls ensuring they defend the American people. They've done the right things. We'll keep doing that."

For all MAGA Republicans arguing “fake news” and “deep state” in defense of their Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, here’s a direct quote from him:
“No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement— just common sense maximum lethality.”
We look forward to the hearings, Pete.

Trump's sadism and lawless hostility were knowable before he retook office. Can America ever overcome its attraction to violent demagogues?

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Happy anniversary, Pete!
Exactly 80 years ago this precise moment (8:40am Hamburg time, Nov. 30, 1945), German submarine commander Heinz-Wilhelm Eck and two of his former subordinates on the U-852 were shot by Allies in Hamburg for killing the survivors of a ship they had sunk. Pete Hagueseth needs to lawyer up immediately.
The Peleus War Crimes Trial
After sinking the Greek steamer Peleus in 1944, the captain ordered his crew to attack the survivors, three sailors survived and faced their attackers in a war crime trial.

Trump was gleeful that the National Guardsman were attacked, he’s been trying to place them in harms way for months for his cheap theatrics. For him it was opportune that military personnel would come under fire as a growing number of US veterans are becoming vocal against him.

National Security is at a record low for the United States, from leaks in the White House by foreign intelligence to FBI agents being used as personal bodyguards for a clubbing podcaster’s honeypot girlfriend. This regime is dismantling public safety and trust.

Trump shares fault for any National Guardsmen injured or killed in his op. He’s inviting murderers & terrorists to attack military personnel by making them highly visible targets in public streets, the guard should have never been used as props for the regime’s political optics.
