Minister Adriana LaGrange disappoints Albertans on many levels but in the appalling abuse of Charter rights & democracy that occurred in the Alberta legislature today, she, of all people knows better & should do better. Prior to failing at healthcare, she was a school trustee & education minister.

FDR tried to warn everyone of exactly this. The fact that some liberals still just wanna go back to brunch and haven’t learned these lessons — it’s just amazing. My hope is the “No Kings” rally is a sign that more liberals have finally figured it out.

Regardless of statistics showing crime is dwindling, safety is a major concern for Calgarians—why?
In my latest essay, i explore this question, alongside the implications of letting our bourgeois fears guide our city’s policy agenda.

I have friends- gay, lesbian, bi, queer, trans- and none think about gay sex more than the righties that comment on my pro-2SLGBTQIA+ posts. They are obsessed with what people do in bed. Especially right men- they fascinate about man on man sex. Seems it's ALL they think about.

I created this version of Flip It Like This for a trans man. The original was plain, then a trans woman requested one, so I drew it. Now, here’s the trans man version!

For decades, self-proclaimed centrists and moderates have been in control of the Democratic Party.
Now we’re having discussions on how to “save” or “rebuild” the party.
Why would that task be left to those who architected the first popular vote loss in 20 years?!

New White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt did her first press briefing today and told a number of demonstrable lies (about condoms for Gaza, the criminal records of undocumented migrants, and more).
This is how the New York Times covered it.

Everyone’s saying it’s the best win in Philly this week
BREAKING: Philadelphia workers have won the first Whole Foods union under Amazon with UFCW.
Since Amazon bought the chain, workers have lost benefits and felt the squeeze.
Now they're fighting back against the multi-trillion dollar giant and hoping this win will be the first of many.

Christmas is not “merry” for everyone.
I have memories of my momma crying & being depressed during this time of the year. Being poor and trying to make it happen for family is hard as hell.
To my struggling sistas and brothas: never give up. I see you, you’re doing your best.
