Border Patrol agents were captured on video chasing a young mother, who says she is a U.S.-born citizen, back to her home in Louisiana. According to Homeland Security, agents initially believed the woman was the target of an immigration enforcement operation, but later left without making arrests.

I don't know which Conservatives need to hear this, but the province has been run by DOUG FORD SINCE 2018. They keep blaming Trudeau/Carney and the Libs for our woes but conveniently leave out how the provinces in Canada have primary responsibility for most services that impact people’s daily lives.

Angus: This is a guy who showed an AI video of himself dumping diarrhea on his own citizens. So the fact that he’s freaking out because we showed a video that just had Ronald Reagan speaking shows he’s not trustworthy.

Almost a third of seniors couldn’t hit that low bar in reading. Meanwhile, eighth-graders are flailing in science, with their worst scores since 2009.

A teenager radicalized by white supremacy shot people at school last week--but media ignores it. This demands far more attention! My new article on the shooting last week that the media is ignoring bc white supremacy makes them uncomfortable! My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/a-teenager...

Alberta’s spending per student went up only 2.4% b/w 2013 to 2023. This was by far the smallest increase. The Canadian average increase was 33%. The reason is growth. Alberta’s student population grew by 15% in the same period, by far the highest jump in the country, but spending did not keep pace.

As human-driven climate change makes winters shorter, ticks are spending less time hibernating and have more active months when they can hitch rides on animals and people. Sometimes the ticks carry themselves — and diseases — to new parts of the country.
Health departments struggle to adequately survey for ticks to warn doctors about new species and the diseases they carry.

What is Pierre Poilievre hiding?
You probably won’t be shocked to hear that after losing his seat in the Canadian election & barely putting any effort into his safe seat “campaign” in Alberta that he needs, Pierre Poilievre STILL refuses to complete the normal security check and try to get the standard, ordinary security clearance.
Reminder: Pierre Poilievre STILL refuses to apply for the normal, usual security clearance, the Canadian media is STILL under-reporting that, and I’m STILL choosing to assume under these dangerous and scary circumstances that it’s because he knows that he wouldn’t pass the security check.

“Children are the property of men.” MAGA has made a religion of patriarchy. In many cases, this toxic vine is wound deeply through their actual religious practices of fundamentalist Christianity. If that is the theory, pedophilia is the practice. The evidence is there, if you're willing to look.

The connection been Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein is no accident, but reveals a deep logic at the heart of reactionary politics.
