The issue is the 3% digital services tax on Amazon, Meta, Google, etc
- companies extract $billions from our economy and threaten our free and accountable press and thus sovereignty.
Next step is to unhook us from the Clinton’s Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual

PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

I couldn't be with the people of Athabasca, Alberta this weekend by Alberta is always in my heart.
I detest the MAGA wannabe premier but the people are rock solid.
Here's my Canada Day shout out to Alberta.

Gilbert the golden retriever was home with Democratic leader and Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband when a gunman fatally shot the couple and mortally wounded their beloved dog. He was with them again Friday when the Hortmans lay in state at the Capitol in St. Paul.

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride.

However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

“The UCP often governs 4.9M Albertans for benefit of a faction within the party.

Smith amplifies separatist claims to avoid outright hostility from the hornet’s nest.

…eases referendum rules…says [there’s] more support than ever.

[It’s] a distraction, manipulated to preserve UCP power.” #abpoli
Alberta Separatism can't win a riding, sure can't win government. But even a fragment of support for a separatist party is a mortal threat to the UCP. Smith often seems to govern for the alone. Column. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu... #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #IndependentAlberta #yyc #yeg
Braid: Focus on separatism is all about keeping UCP in power
Premier Danielle Smith is worried about separatism because losing even a few percentage points to a separatist party could defeat UCP

Has a perfectly good .alt, but I want to add that the beads are translucent, lit from the right so they glow like pieces of the sky against a black background.
Something lovely for your timeline!

Beautiful blue glass beads from the late Bronze Age.

Ploughed up by a farmer in Denmark in 1885, analysis shows the beads were made in Mesopotamia, pointing to long-distance trade in luxury goods some 3,000 years ago.

The One Canadian Economy Act is now law. 🇨🇦

It helps businesses and workers move more freely, fast-tracks major projects, and puts Indigenous partnership at the centre.

We’re building one strong, united Canadian economy. 💪

“Have no basis in fact.” MSNBC cuts out of Trump’s press conference to fact check him. The media must do this every time he speaks. Basically calling him a f*cking liar, in not so many words. #cdnpoli

*This* is why they are freaking out about Zohran Mamdani.
Generational change is coming: Since Zohran Mamdani won on Tuesday night, more than 1100 young people have reached out to @runforsomething.net to explore a run for local office -- one of our biggest spikes of the year yet.
