It’s time to advocate for and defend our 🏳️‍⚧️ community. If you call yourself an ally to a group of people and you aren't getting hit by the stones being thrown at them, then you aren't standing close enough.

While corporate profits skyrocket and the stock market rides high, regular Americans are struggling to make ends meet.

Even CEOs of the biggest corporations are starting to understand why this is a huge problem. Watch.

The 2025 fall session of the Alberta legislature will come to be known, infamously, as the Notwithstanding Session.
I hope that it will also give rise to what will be known as the Notwithstanding General Strike.

Nail on head.
#ucpAreEvil & stupid & unimaginative & vicious & cruel.
Use of the notwithstanding clause is a betrayal of the duty of a government to its people. If you can't enact your agenda without violating the rights of your citizens, you are either stupid and unimaginative or vicious and cruel.

I've used different adjectives (lazy, impatient, vengeful), but these are equally valid theories.

Wherein Tanya Fir refers to the next caller on her “callback list” as the “next motherfucker”….

After she failed to hang up the phone properly.

Just the most competent government ever.

How about instead of selling "bearista" cups, Starbucks bargains a fair contract with its unionized baristas? No contract. No coffee. Don't cross the picket line. Solidarity with @sbworkersunited.org
Starbucks' outrageous CEO-to-worker pay gap might make you spit out your morning coffee. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

The UCP is starting to panic.

Demetrios Nicolaides sent an email begging volunteers to fight his recall petition. He warns complacency could "topple our government".
