Dear Americans, I love you like a sister or brother, but I'm not following you back because my feed is already swamped with US news. I wish you every success in your struggle to reclaim Democracy!

I really like this bit from the TV show Pantheon - kinda sorta talking about A1:

"Unfortunately,
I and the others like me
cannot be trusted with this power.
We are not ghosts.
We are not aliens.
We are not machines.
We are not gods.
We are you."

IMPORTANT: In 2023, the Youth Experiencing Homelessness Program began providing 120 youth ages 18-24 experiencing homelessness with $1,000 monthly until 2025.

By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed.

The right thing to do, AND a smart financial investment.
Homeless Oregon youth got $1,000 a month for two years. Most found housing after • Oregon Capital Chronicle
Oregon is the second of its kind in the nation to implement the direct cash transfer program after New York City.

Danielle Smith wrote to Mark Carney demanding her say in the appointment of federal judges...

And also threatening that if she doesn't get a say, she will withhold funding for new judicial appointments.

Because crime and justice or something.

“Simply put, we cannot have an independent judiciary if the premier — any premier regardless of political affiliation — has the power to “direct” judges.”

The Premier must retract her comments and apologize.

Temitope Oriola: Smith's remarks on 'directing' judges deeply troubling
The message conveyed by the premier’s words is unhealthy for the administration of justice in Alberta.

The problem repeats itself across issue after issue. Majorities support moderate gun qualifications, democratic norms, human decency, and climate action. Still, progress is blocked, with powerful systems like mainstream media firmly in reactionary hands. So how do we break the deadlock?
A huge 89% majority of global people [56% even in the United States] want stronger action to fight the #ClimateCrisis, but mistakenly believe they’re in a minority.

The “silent majority” for #ClimateAction needs to get loud.

People want action. Smart cities need to go much further, much faster.
Activate climate’s ‘silent majority’ to supercharge action, experts say
Making concerned people aware their views are far from alone could unlock the change so urgently needed

The political right was never about defending freedom.

It was all just cover for their true religion: license to be an asshole with unchecked power over anyone they don't like.
