NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims. By @mckenziefunk.com @micarosenberg.bsky.social

Everyone in this province deserves timely access to quality public health care, not just those who can afford to pay for it. It's time to let this government know that Albertans value our public health care—& we're willing to fight for it! 🚨 TAKE ACTION 🚨 friendsofmedicare.org/notwotier
More than 400 people showed up in Edmonton today on our cross-province tour with @pfparks.bsky.social! The THOUSANDS of Albertans we've talked to at our townhalls these past few months have been resoundingly clear: we don't want two tier, Americanized health care! We need to repeal Bill 11 ASAP.

If even small, ruby-red towns can refuse to provide services to potential ICE concentration camps, yours can too! Write an email to or speak at a meeting for your local town/city council demanding that they refuse to provide utilities or permits to ICE detention centers.
"The Social Circle city manager was contacted by ICE... “They asked me to turn on the water,” he said of a 1m sq ft warehouse nearby that the government plans to use for locking up as many as 10,000 detainees. “I told them I’m not going to do it,” he said... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The Carney gov't has pretty significant overlap with the Progressive Conservatives of yore, so any non-Reform Tories would probably feel perfectly at home in the Liberal caucus. And potentially have lots of influence. It's that, or stay on as a backup singer in Poilievres MAGA cover band.

They are selecting unqualified white supremacists types that want to hate. This is scary -very anti Christian and American. This is so much like Germany in the 1940s who selected certain types of cruel people for the job of hunting down and capturing other human being for being different.

it's not up to teachers to solve this problem, but this is completely by design. the christian right has wanted to stop funding public schools and replace them all with private, christian, segregated schools since brown v. board of education. making teachers miserable is one step on that path.

Recently, renewable energy has been more affordable than natural gas, oil or gasoline in America. It is not by a large margin, but it because the market doesn't want to pay higher costs just to speed up global warming. Since that is a GOOD thing for America and the world... TRUMP opposes it.
