Why are #Alberta #children stuffed into understaffed classe = 1 teacher for 30+ students, from #specialneeds to exceptionally bright. #UCP has zero interest in supporting children in the #public #education system. UCP divert funds #charterschools #abpoli #ableg www.readtheorchard.org/p/alberta-te...

Our Premier is absurd. “I didn’t want them to enforce the law the way I wrote it, and they should have known that” should be disqualifying for any legislator. This isn’t left-right anymore, it’s a question of basic competence. #AbLeg

Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."

Changes from the UCP’s Bill 20 will significantly delay the release of results and potentially disenfranchise some voters and reduce voter turnout, which is generally weak in Alberta, reports @charlesrusnell.bsky.social. #abpoli

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

In 80 seconds, AOC has completely dismantled the #BigUglyBill. Dems should turn this into a prime time campaign ad NOW. “This Bill is a deal with the devil”💥 @aoc.bsky.social

Cuts to healthcare and food assistance programs in exchange for tax cuts skewed to the rich, a record breaking amount of military spending, and a giant funding boost for ICE's deportation machine. This budget bill is utterly shameful.

Sickening, revealing stuff from someone with the president’s ear

Pursued relentlessly by the government of Vladimir Putin, the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died in prison. He left behind an account of his final years—and an admonition to his country and the world.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Supreme Court's liberal majority strikes down the state’s 176-year-old abortion ban.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride. However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Three years ago, a corrupt Supreme Court seized our rights and overturned Roe v. Wade. The resulted is just what we predicted. Women dying because they can't get basic healthcare. Doctors afraid to treat patients. We will not stop fighting until abortion rights are restored.

Apparently border security now means disappearing your neighbor. Stop the lawless one now!
