"CTV reported Friday that 19 UCP MLAs support Alberta separation, based on an “MLA independence scorecard” published by the fringy Republican Party of Alberta."

"But this isn’t news. The list was posted on the party website almost a year ago, and I reported on it on April 25, 2025."
A headline in Friday’s Calgary Herald asked: “Is the UCP still a pro-Canada party?”

If you have to ask, you already know the answer. @djclimenhaga.bsky.social writes. #abpoli #canpoli #uspoli

This was not an inevitability.

This is the result of decades of political choices that rig the system in favor of the wealthy and powerful while leaving workers behind.

It does not have to be this way.

GOLDMAN: What guidance have you given your agents about asking people to show proof of citizenship?

LYONS: We don't do that

G: Really? So all of those individual citizens who have been randomly asked are lying?

LYONS: If ICE is conducting an investigation, they'll ask someone their nationality

Rep. Goldman: “Do you know what other regimes in the 20th century required similar proof of citizenship?…Is Nazi Germany one?”

Lyons: “Yes.”

Goldman: “Is the Soviet Union one?"

Lyons: “Yes, but this is the wrong type of questioning you should be asking me.”

Free speech is about as American as it gets, or at least it used to be. Team USA is getting backlash for speaking out against ICE brutality and more.

🚨BREAKING: Puerto Rico has been part of the United States since 1898, and people still act confused that Puerto Ricans are American.

States that joined after Puerto Rico:
• Oklahoma — 1907
• New Mexico — 1912
• Arizona — 1912
• Alaska — 1959
• Hawaii — 1959

Yet somehow this is still news to folks.
