I am a suicide prevention awareness advocate.

Montana consistently has the worst suicide rate (or top 3) in the nation.

GOP and programs like this one that contract out to for-profit 3rd party companies are not helping.

This will make you sad, it should make you mad.

The privately-run program is meant to stabilize struggling health care providers. After a participant’s death, state officials have been mum on possible reforms.

It will be irrational and nonsensical whatever it is...like usual.
Left wing conspiracy for sure.

I don't think any of them have ever mentioned it.
And they will have scathing articles already printing about how terrible it is that he lost...I hope.

The media is almost entirely owned by his supporters. There is a campaign to normalize him, soften his image, gaslight us all into believing his bullshit.

Considering how much the press ignored the last protests, maybe we should plan for big crowds around TV stations and newspapers to make it hard for them to get to work. At least then they couldn't pretend they didn't notice.

Alberta and Montana are so alike...in some beautiful ways and some shitty political was as well.

I'm not happy to see our neighbor to the north fucking over schools and teachers like our gop/maga are doing here in Montana.

From what my teacher friends here say, class sizes are huge and no $$.

ANALYSIS | Alberta stopped tracking class sizes. Then it changed its funding formula. Now, it's a teachers' strike issue | CBC News

Get a rough idea of how much Alberta’s teaching staff has grown compared to how much student enrolment has grown since the funding formula for school boards was changed.

We can expect the DOJ to be perusing this with the same rigor as they have Leticia James and some rent she collected?

New Yorkers know Attorney General James for who she is: a champion for justice who fights relentlessly for the people. Donald Trump knows her only as an obstacle to his corruption.
