Literacy is activism.
Reading is a political act.
Books are tools for liberation.

So I’m guessing the NRA is going to help Alex Pretti’s family get justice because he was allegedly executed and beaten because he was carrying a legal holstered firearm under his 2A rights?

Right?

No?

So… the 2A doesn’t apply in all cases?

No?

Karoline Leavitt states today “there is plentiful video evidence showing she did in fact hit him with her car…”

Leavitt went on to say the video also clearly shows Che Guevara, Fidel Castro and Lalo Salamanca all sitting in the back seat of the Honda.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

"Calgary is sitting on a ticking time bomb," but most mayoralty and council candidates ran on repealing the blanket rezoning bylaw. Budget 2026 was all about cuts in spending, little discussion of speeding up repairs to water pipes.

The Government of Canada can hold zero expectation that the Government of Alberta is operating in good faith. A carve out for AB means failing 🇨🇦climate goals.

Also, emissions are 1/3 of the issue (water 💦 & land 🗻 too). Site clean up & closure is the only true way to eliminate emissions. #cdnpoli

Canada’s new methane regs are well-designed, but Alberta’s carve-out leaves the impact uncertain.

A 5-year delay risks 1.9M tonnes more methane in the atmosphere – that’s emissions equal to roughly half the cars on 🇨🇦 roads.

Canada & Alberta has already had privatized hospitals and doctors
& we've also had charities that looked after those who couldn't afford healthcare
That's why Tommy Douglas worked so hard to bring us universal healthcare

Sign the recalls

Politicians love to talk about "kids safety" until you ask them to do something that would actually keep kids safe like fund housing, healthcare, education, outdoor spaces, arts programs, etc.

That's because most of them use "safety" as a euphemism for surveillance, control and domination.

Harming a very small & very vulnerable group of people. Census (2021) shows Alberta has ~12,500 transgender citizens, population = 4.6million. Abt 1,800 are under 24 years, < 200 are under 15.
Trans ppl are vulnerable bc of terrible support & discrimination. Alberta's anti-trans laws will kill.
