Talking about foreign interference. Things are blatantly obvious.
What is also blatantly obvious is the majority of Canadians living in Alberta want absolutely nothing to do with the States.

Federal and provincial governments appear to be engaging in what Christopher Alcantara and Lucas De Sousa call reconciliatory backsliding — a term for when “governments alter legislation designed to protect the collective rights of Indigenous communities.” Experts write. #canpoli

Exceedingly grateful for public libraries.
Went to my local library this morning to do a bit of research for my current book project and my goodness such a life-affirming space! There was an adult being taught to read on the next table, children enjoying story time, countless people taking out books. So grateful for our libraries ❤️

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Across America and the world, people are realizing it’s not possible to appease America’s dictator.

The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him — and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him.

It's time for a massive general strike across the country.
