NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Wow! Straight from the heart. Thank you President Kumi Naidoo for speaking so directly. We need a fossil-fuel phase out!
Yesterday @fossiltreaty.bsky.social President Kumi Naidoo rushed into his 5th speaking engagement of the day at #cop30 looking uncharacteristically upset. “Tzeporah,” he said “I lost it. I don’t even remember what I said. I am so sorry. I got emotional.”

I found the clip from his panel.

Well now fellow #Alberta ns, with our own despotic government that fires an auditor general seeking to publish his findings on the Heath Authority scandal, fraud and preferable contracts what say you about how Alberta is doing? Acquiesce or act to create the future you envision.
Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

This is extremely troubling. The UCP are becoming increasingly authoritarian. They are dumping Doug Wylie, likely because he intervened, in the public interest, in the AHS CEO lawsuit. edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

Danielle Smith and her cronies are doing the same to Alberta's education system. She too can F all the way off! Have a listen to JB Pritzker.

JB Pritzker: “President Trump and his bootlickers have torn down the US Department of Education from the inside. Books are being banned. History is being erased. I’m sorry to be vulgar, but Donald Trump and his cronies can fuck all the way off” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I'll cover the Back to School Act debate; I believe it's a maximum of three hours allotted (three motions, each with one hour).
They're taking roll call on who agrees to and disagrees at the moment.

The East Wing Desecrators

Given the extraordinary and unprecedented destruction of the entire East Wing, built in 1942 for the Office of the First Lady, it’s important to note who enabled this.

In this thread, I run through the companies and organizations involved and provide contact info.

Thanks to the #UCP for totally screwing the #civic #election process in #Alberta. Like everything they touch, they made it less democratic, less efficient, and more costly. Well done.

I’m so mad. Our voting line is over 2.5 hours long. People are leaving. Parents don’t have childcare during the strike. Kids can’t wait that long.

Check on your neighbours. Offer childcare. Bring an extra camping chair and toque and water for someone in line.

UCP's objectives w/ privatization of education: "But abandoning public education also lets governments relinquish their responsibility to support an equitable, democratic society. It increases the disparities between the privileged & everyone else."

@ximenaka.bsky.social provides details & context.
I began writing this story with a naive question in mind: What do we lose when public education is privatized? A lot, actually.

By following the MAGA playbook, the UCP’s push against public education not only undermines democracy, it jeopardizes the possibility of a better future for all Albertans.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.”

This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over.

Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

Howard Stern asked Trump how young Trump would go.

When Quivers asks for his “age limit,” Trump starts out by saying he doesn’t have one — but then gives a point of reference that looks not great in any light, saying he would draw a line at “12 year-olds”:
