🚨 The Canada-Alberta #MOU deal signed last week rolls back hard-won policies to protect climate and communities.

This agreement will threaten Indigenous rights, increase greenhouse gas emissions, and embolden climate deniers.

"Even applying great deference to the administration's view of the facts, ... there is insufficient evidence that protest activity in Illinois has significantly impeded the ability of federal officers to execute federal immigration laws." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
We need not fully resolve these thorny and complex issues of statutory interpretation now, because we conclude that the administration has not met its burden under either standard. Even applying great deference to the administration's view of the facts, under the facts as found by the district court, there is insufficient evidence that protest activity in Illinois has significantly impeded the ability of federal officers to execute federal immigration laws. Federal facilities, including the processing facility in Broadview, have remained open despite regular demonstrations against the administration's immigration policies. And though federal officers have encountered sporadic disruptions, they have been quickly contained by local, state, and federal authorities. At the same time, immigration arrests and deportations have proceeded apace in Illinois over the past year, and the administration has been proclaiming the success of its current efforts to enforce immigration laws in the Chicago area. The administration accordingly is also unlikely to succeed on this argument.

THIS is Danielle Smith's Alberta! There’s nobody else to blame. Just her & her UCP government. And it’s going to get worse.

Danielle Smith's government has been implementing a sovereignty plan drafted by her chief of staff since taking office. It's only now that the conditions are right for some of its more extreme aspects. And it's all for the oil. #ableg #cdnpoli thenarwhal.ca/free-alberta...

I'm often asked: What motivates Danielle Smith to do the radical things she does?

After all, many of her actions fly in the face of public opinion, the constitution, conservative ideology, and her own public commitments.

I used to equivocate.

I'm about ready to call it.🧵

What’s at the heart of Alberta premier Danielle Smith’s separation rhetoric? Oil.

Her position, @drewanderson.bsky.social writes, has been driven since the outset by the Free Alberta Strategy. It's a plan to back oil and gas — even if it means breaking up Canada.

The good news in all of this is that many Albertans may be realizing for the first time that they too are treaty people. If you're a settler in treaty territory you too have a responsibility for that treaty.
