I really only knew Dr. Darren Markland via social media. But his front line reports from the ER during Covid moved me to tears. His bravery, his compassion, his commitment to patient care, and to the truth, were unparalleled. In the worst of the pandemic, he was the hero we needed. #yeg

The human heart is

The size of a

Fist

Clenched.

Indefatigable, and infallible

On pain of death.

And yet it skips

At the most curious

Times,

To remind us of its finite

Beats.

And perhaps to attend us

To use them both wisely

And with abandon.

Wrapped up two days with our UCP caucus in Lacombe.

Our team is divisive, confrontational, and ready to screw over Albertans. Affordability, safe streets, quality healthcare, strong education, and real jobs are a thing of the past because you elected self-serving conservatives!

The shame of America is realizing that the ICE Gestapo is torturing the people they place into custody. South Korea has opened a human RIghts investigation into the United States.

Andor, a Disney+ show about resisting fascism, just won 5 Emmys. Three days later, the network caved to it.
This is the Rebellion manifesto written by the character Nemik from the series Andor. It offers a guideline for hope while under threat from tyranny and inspiration for those brave enough to stand up and fight.

Before knowing all the facts, voices on the right are now exploiting the tragic death of Charlie Kirk & calling for all-out war on the left. This is sad, but not surprising, at a time when we should all be denouncing political violence. They were not so upset when Minn. Democrats were assassinated.
