Well hey there new friends. Pleasure to make your acquaintance where the skies are blue. I'm an MSc in Epidemiolgy, working on a sinking ship in the middle of a burning sea. Looking forward to setting down some roots here and getting to know y'all better so we can prop one another up.

Smith is trying to rhetorically appeal to both separatists and federalists. But her actions have been much more supportive of the separatist cause. When there is the referendum she will have to pick a side and "Sovereign Alberta in a United Canada" won't do it.

when I see people saying "well the police are trained better," I think about how Tamir Rice was gunned down and was denied first aid at the neighborhood rec center where we both took art classes.
just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now
Our government is murdering the citizens of this country. They are doing it without any checks on their violence

At this meeting, Dennis Modry claimed that Premier Danielle Smith said she prefers the title 'Prime Minister' over 'President,' in a discussion about her possible leadership in an independent Alberta. 1/5

ICE pigs are doing Starlight tours, as inspired by SK RCMP. They're also inspired by Gerald Stanley's defense of the gun misfiring.
Maybe as the US tears itself apart, we should be doing some soul-searching of our own in Canada. Because the Nazis are stealing our moves.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.
There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.
This is my favorite guide.

The administration is genuinely furious that Minneapolis hasn’t rioted yet
Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.
Do you honestly think people in the civil rights movement and other nonviolent movements faced no violence themselves? They practiced nonviolence because it works, because the oppressor wants a shooting war, which is the war it will win

Completely insane. AltNPS claimed to know the name of Alex Pretti's killer, refused to say it because "the truth always comes out," and then just deleted the post.
A man was executed on the street in my hometown, and AltNPS is using that as an excuse to vaguepost for attention.

Ice pack on the sternum can also do wonders.
If you’re struggling, I’m copy pasting what a trauma therapist friend suggested here:
“Highly recommend dunking your face in a bowl of cold water, drinking some water to help your body flush the adrenaline and finding something to smell or touch for grounding and avoiding dissociation”
