Woke; proud of it.
Lifelong Albertan against misinformation, willful ignorance, feckless lack of accountability/civility.
Senior - still working though (at a place where my opinions might impact my employment, thus the lack of "name"!)

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality.
Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

The first time an Alberta government invoked the notwithstanding clause, public outrage forced a reversal in less than 24 hours. I wish to God Albertans would show the same moral fury now, when school children are outed & bullied by the government that is supposed to protect them. #ableg #abpoli

Banksy’s latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it.
We need this here because it looks a lot like our own Supreme Court vs. the people.

Someone should tell Trump that arresting Putin in Alaska and delivering him to The Hague would be the quick way to end the war in Ukraine and the only way he might win a Nobel Peace Prize.
Well it would end the war at least.

I enjoyed chatting with Stephen Colbert on "The Late Show."
My thoughts on how we save our democracy are the same today as when we last spoke on "The Colbert Report" in 2010.
We must get big money out of politics.
