When the entire staff of a publicly funded non for profit resigns on a matter of principle we must both applaud their bravery and stand in solidarity with their efforts to resist government interference.
The entire staff of the foundation!
NEWS: the entire staff of the Alberta Law Foundation has resigned in the wake of Bill 14, which gives the justice minister more say in how the independent org operates.

Very powerful piece.
Miller is one of the more odious members of the Drumpf regime - “Dime-store Goebbels”, as others have referred to him. Some of his own relatives aren’t big fans.

This video was released on the last day of 2025, and I think it may be my favorite video of 2025. It's just incredible how complex this machine is and how long it took to go from idea to production, but it happened. It's amazing what humankind can accomplish by working together and pushing limits.
