I spent years spouting conspiracy theories about vaccines. Now, as measles rages in my home of Alberta, I’m trying to convince vax-hesitant parents to inoculate their kids.

That being said, Meta isn't a necessary service. Start the process to get your data back, wipe your accounts and stop passively adding to Zuckerberg's pile of money.

Things like Amazon and Google have become so engrained and all-encompassing/owning, it's a bit impossible to sever your connection to them. Don't punish yourself for having to continue to buy from companies you don't want to support. Just try your best.

Incredibly thorough scoop here from the great @laurby.bsky.social: "Top brass at the Edmonton Police Service want Alberta’s government to disqualify two people selected to oversee its actions in large part because of their public criticism or comments around policing issues."
Edmonton police asked Alberta to intervene after city council appointed two commissioners. Documents show past criticism and allegations of 'bias' drove the request.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.
