New: Premier Smith and Alberta’s Justice Minister are applauding the appeals court for finding the use of the emergencies act during the Ottawa convoy unconstitutional under sections 2 and 8.
For context those same sections were stripped by the GOA for Albertans with the notwithstanding clause use.

The problem, of course, is that one of our two political parties has organized itself around a world of “alternative facts” in which the meaning of words and independently-verifiable evidence are irrelevant. If J6 can be a “day of love,” then lots of swearing at Bovino can be an Insurrection.
The Insurrection Act does require an actual insurrection. The violence in Minneapolis is almost exclusively one-sided. People yelling at you, calling you names, and recording you on a cell phone isn’t violence. And if the courts let Trump say it is, we’re in a lot of trouble.

The core truth of the Trump era, and the one that journalism is forbidden from stating out loud, is that Trump has gathered around him a constituency of the country's worst people.
That's what most distinguishes them -- not economic status, age, where they live, anything else. It's shittiness.

Trump has a broken filter in his brain that makes him tell his version of the truth, always. So you should always take the idea seriously. Yes, it requires execution, there are still some guardrails, etc, but here's the thing: look at what he has gotten away with *so far*
He's ruining cities that voted D and disappearing citizens who don't like him. When he said he would "fix it" so Republicans didn't even have to vote anymore, what the fuck did you think he meant? Did you think that was casually tossed out there?
