Happy Deductible Reset January to those who (don't) celebrate it!

Poor @totallydonna.kitrocha.com has one (1) biologic that costs $3,800. We are trying to scrounge up money to pay for it!

That means 20% off sale in the shop! (even on new things!)

After all the heartbreak and horror of the world this week - a reminder of why Canada, and the idea of Canada, really matters. We aren’t trying to be great again - just trying to make a better country, every day. Sending this out with love and hope. #Canada #cdnpoli #ElbowsUp #Alberta #refugees
The Case for Sticking Around - Alberta Views
I’m calling on us to do something un-Canadian: and stand up for the country we love—and reject the idea of a sovereign Alberta

“The murdering will continue until you stop calling us murderers.”
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

Please understand what it means when journalists are evacuating their family members out of town.

In any other country, we would be approaching "foreign sanctions" territory
We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

And Renee Good’s last words appear to be “We’re not mad at you.”
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

This is an important perspective and dovetails with the campaign in the immediate aftermath of the killing when Good was mocked as having “pronouns in her bio” once her Instagram was discovered.
they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

Renee and Becca Good engaged in normal banter with the ICE officers prior to the shooting.

Renee tried to drive away, Ross shot her three times, and then it sounds like he said “fucking bitch”:
🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific.

They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.

Stop the lies.

the ICE officer calling a woman he just murdered a “fucking bitch” is visceral, but imo the most material new information in the latest video is that she very clearly turns the wheel away from the officer right before it happens

One of the core purposes of right-wing media is to rewrite your memory and reprogram your moral response to an event you saw with your own eyes. George Floyd died of a heart attack. Jan 6 was a peaceful picnic. This process has already begun
THERE IS VIDEO

I really do not want to recommend to everyone a video of a person being shot but there is video from multiple angles

why not cut the crap and just publish "this paper supports random state murder, it makes us feel good, kill kill kill"? same exact meaning, less embarrassing

"Disdain for Trump" is now retroactively added to your list of "offenses" in order to justify the state murdering you for breaking no laws.
The no-angeling is already in full swing.

I think, every so often, about how the student protesters in South Korea figured out there was a finite supply of tear gas, and then staged retreating marches that caused police to burn off most of it, before the big "bring your auntie and kids" marches that ultimately toppled the dictatorship.

I only found out there was a Audible sale after seeing my bookscan numbers for The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet suddenly jump by several hundred 🤣 nobody tells me anything. So, grab a copy for 99 cents if you've got a US account! The narrator (Clare Corbett) does an absolutely cracking job.

there are lots of options available, we don't have to be bullied into making tech choices that are not in our best interest to use
If this year was about getting off US tech, 2026 is the year to reassess the digital revolution — what works, what doesn’t; what to keep, and what to reject.

I’ve only just started to consider what needs to change about how I use digital technology, but I’m excited to learn more next year.
