If Trump announces a new and illegal regime change war against Venezuela tonight pay attention to which elected Democrats stay silent and don’t vociferously oppose and condemn him for it - and then make sure those Dems are subjected to primary challenges next year.

there's just something so bleak about the fact that the seemingly apolitical murder of two elderly people by their profoundly ill son becomes a political football before the bodies are even cold

The world has lost two magnificently creative human beings in Rob and Michele Reiner. Their violent deaths add to the darkness of these days, but their humor, their compassion and their love for the world shine an imperishable light.

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.

So true!
The evidence for vaccine safety and effectiveness is abundant and ancient; it's like watching people refuse to believe bicycles exist.
"Two wheels? Haha, no. You'd fall over."
"No, you go forward, see? And the balance-"
"Nope: fall over. Bonk!"

"That's why God gave us legs and not pedals."

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

FYI for AB friends looking to get covid vaccinated in BC. Called the booking line this morning. Per their website, out of province was opening up Nov 24th. They told me still only for BC residents and to try calling back in December.

Some vaccines like COVID and flu don’t stop completely stop infection.
But they do reduce the risk of getting infected and greatly reduce severe illness risk.
They are still worth getting.
Since they are not 100% effective it’s also wise to add another layer of protection by wearing a mask.

If the UCP is confident on the medical merits of its transgender bill, then we should hear from the CMOH on this ASAP to validate the urgency of using the notwithstanding clause, it's why you have a top doctor after all.

Tomorrow, the Auditor General will release his report into the UCP's Dynalife fiasco.
They're hoping to flood the zone this week with citizenship markers and anti-trans legislation.
Keep your focus on the targets.
And the broader pattern.

Keeping up with the UCP government's democratic transgressions can be difficult.

I think the hubris of Premier Smith is showing. The general entitlement. She will continue to blame the recall movement on unions (it’s not) and seems surprised Albertans are speaking up against limiting the Rights of multiple groups. She truly thinks her base is the majority. It is not.

Could not agree more.
I knew that this day was coming. The UCP had been warning for months that they were going to take away the rights of transgender people (not just children but adults too). I thought I was prepared. But I am still very angry that it has happened.

Demetrios incorrectly told people he would be authenticating signatures & can’t sign book bans properly…
Tanya Fir couldn’t hang up a phone WITH HELP & called a constituent a “motherfucker”
And they think that calling their competence into question is unfair?

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.
