The #Yeg Remand Centre is a “Super Max” prison. About 90% held there are legally presumed innocent, yet it’s the harshest facility, with no real programming or family contact. I’ve seen people unravel there, then be released downtown at night with only a bus ticket.

Remote or hybrid work has been a blessing for working parents. Let’s not turn back time on positive conditions

The folks at @afghanevac.bsky.social have in hand a new USCIS directive which largely targets Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.
In case you needed a reminder that the most loathsome people in the world work for DHS.

I find it amazing that a state trooper can bully big, powerful football dudes. When ICE, and police brutally grab vulnerable people off the street, disappear them, these people aren't standing up for them.
🔥🏈LAWYER on the ugly incident during the Texas A&M game: “As a 3rd generation A&M grad that trooper should be fired, not just pulled off duty. He is a huge asshole. I would love to see those South Carolina players file assault charges.”

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.

So the Ford appointed supervisors will make more than all School Board Trustees combined, and that money will come out of the education budget that’s supposed to go to student needs. Shame! globalnews.ca/news/1151063... #topoli #onpoli #onted
