The files contain devastating pleas from a woman who survived Epstein’s network and says she has spent years being gaslit, questioning her own lawyers, describing coercive settlements, deleted records, harassment, media smears, and silence. 🧵

On President's Day, First Amendment Troop staged "ResistDance" at JFK Center & Lincoln Memorial. 22 dancers represented 22 days between Renee Good & Alex Pretti's deaths. The Kennedy Center performance was shut down within seconds by more officers than dancers (23 vs 22).

Polite City, Loud Streets: Protesting in Calgary with Dr. Roberta Lexier | Hot Dogs & Hot Takes on History — The Confluence
Debunk myths. Debate opinions. Eat hot dogs. Is Calgary really as politically quiet and conservative as its reputation suggests? Or has protest always been part of the city’s DNA — easier to overlook...

Ministers randomly redefining Park boundaries – boundaries put in place by an Act in the entire Legislature – is heinous. Doing so without consultation adds insult to injury. And selling off said former protected Park land to develop condos? Makes me vomit.
This morning, I sent a letter to the Ministers of Tourism and Sport and Forestry and Parks to rescind the Ministerial Order changing the boundaries of parks in Kananaskis to create All-Season Resort Areas.
Read my letter below!

He destroyed our economy and everyone knows it.
Whatever he or his voters would like to believe about what he did, the numbers do not lie.
We are seeing the worst job growth in over two decades and it is explicitly tied to bad decisions he made and then lied about.
He's pathetic.

Alex, I’ll take "Ignoring the Experts" for $800.
The UCP’s "European model" is actually just a "drive-by comparison" to hide a shift to US-style for-profit care.
They aren't fixing the system; they're just managing our expectations while they sell it off. #AbLeg #AbPoli #CdnPoli #Bill11

So this weekend TikTok removed our video about Elon Musk showing up in the Epstein files for "promoting misinformation", which we're sure has nothing at all to do with billionaire Trump megadonor Larry Ellison taking over control of TikTok's algorithm.

Not sure what the Minister and Premier are prioritizing over making sure further suffering and preventable deaths do NOT occur in our ED WRs… probably a good question ABs should be asking of their govt.
