This was such an early and corrupt unconstitutional executive order. Jared is the Nepo Negotiator and Chief Grifter. Follow his money.

Palantir

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

Hey Alberta,

Maybe we should read this article, given that Smith and O’Leary want to do Alberta Canada.
All for the benefit of American billionaires

The United States is destroying itself | Rebecca Solnit The daily news can’t adequately convey the administration’s sabotaging of our government, economy, alliances and environment

“The United States is being murdered, and it’s an inside job. Every department, every branch, every bureau and function of the federal government is being fatally corrupted or altogether dismantled or disabled.”

Looks like Rob is back to demonizing journalists for telling the truth.

Which is a hallmark of what kind of government again?

Emma Graney has been covering Alberta and Alberta Politics for a decade.

Alberta is lucky to have journos like her.

Smith on why she's introducing private health care to Alberta...

She's clear the biggest reason is because she want's to remove "Gatekeepers" (so physicians) from medical testing.

What could go wrong?

Rigging an Election 101: The UCP Government's Guide to Stealing Your Vote YouTube video by Naheed Nenshi

I just watched your short video on YouTube.
This is a great wedge issue. No one right or left wing wants germandered ridings. That is a great slogan. "Voters should choose politicians, politicians should not choose their voters"

Ripping up maps to rig the election. YouTube video by Naheed Nenshi

The UCP said they would respect the findings of the independent Boundaries Commission ... until they didn't like the results.

Now, they're ignoring the experts, who consulted with thousands of Albertans, to push through a map that would steal your vote and rig the election.

‘This Is Just a Plan to Cheat, Pure and Simple’ | The Tyee The UCP is spiking an independent Electoral Boundaries Commission report and rigging the next vote.

On one hand it's gratifying to know Smith is worried she won't get re-elected on the other it's terrifying to know there are no lengths to which she won't go to win at all costs.

Why?
Because the USA is lawless.*

*must be a billionaire

The mockery of it,
the richest man
waving $1 million checks,
dancing around a stage
while laughing,
showing what a joke
democracy can be when
the money floodgates
are thrown open &
honest voters don't matter anymore.
Nobody died on Normandy Beach
for this.

So, Graham is saying Trump is scatter-brained, careless and stupid?

Wow. What a great friend.

Looks like grift, smells like grift, taste like grift…

Must be grift.

(With apologies to Cheech and Chong.)

Anyone else getting the sense that Trump is colluding with energy market robber barons to screw every last one of the rest of us? Anyone else starting to feel like the Second Iran War is a grift to enrich domestic and foreign billionaires at the expense of America's middle class?

I find it difficult to watch old American movies.

I realize I bought into the lies of American exceptionalism, like everyone else.

And here we are.

But somehow the Iranian war seems different. The USA is definitely at a crossroads.

Ancient Chinese curse, “May you live in interesting times.”

Agree. 💯

Is the USA being run by a Junior High student council?
