Two students and a professor are suing the University of Alberta for violently dismantling the peaceful pro-Palestine encampment in May 2024.

Back when it happened, a number of law professors—including myself—signed an open letter objecting to police brutalizing our students over protected speech.

I'm not just making a snarky point here. The religious right is increasingly emboldened by the idea that they can place restrictions on others, without having restrictions placed on them. They lobbied for Bill 25; now they should also have to live by it. 7/7

Two large sheets of paper laid out next to each other, both with the Santa black and white block print: An illustration of a dandelion with the word “Become” above and “Ungovernable” below there are occasional black lines in the white spaces where the block was not completely carved flat enough before printing giving it an overall graffiti like look

Become ungovernable

Recent-ish print, pretty happy with how it came out

I love this for him

The idea that poor people don't deserve to have good, nutritious, and delicious food is pure classism and is a desire to deprive every last opportunity for joy from the lives of people struggling to get by.

This is a bang on thread from @brenttoderian.bsky.social about how politicians need to get smart on how to listen to residents but also lead and deliver at pace. All too often 'consult more/better' is code for delay, weaken, cancel action & favour the status quo while our cities stay broken...

We don't want people to be educated, healthy, and confident. Because they would get out of control." ~ Tony Benn

Alberta government says new bill intended to remove politics, ideology from schools | CBC News The Alberta government says new legislation would require teachers and school boards to be “neutral” and “impartial” when delivering lessons and crafting a school environment.

This is Christian Nationalism masquerading as "neutrality." This same Education Minister hasn't apologized for his Jesus-laden Christmas letter to every public school family. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Proposed political neutrality legislation offensive to Alberta teachers, ATA says | CBC News The Alberta Teachers’ Association says the provincial government's suggestion that educators don't act with integrity or present issues in a balanced way is offensive.

"Teachers are professionals,” he said. “They already teach the prescribed curriculum in a balanced, thoughtful and age-appropriate way.

"Any suggestion otherwise is unfair and quite frankly offensive to the profession."

Removing the word "welcoming" is going to increase rates of violence - against marginalized peoples.

The Alberta government has just tabled a bill it says will remove politics and ideology from schools, including limiting flags to Canadian and Albertan only (in most cases). More here: #AbLeg #AbEd

Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this video.

“It seems like there’s a lack of diversity here today, and it’s mostly people who look like you and me, and I just…?”

This lady’s response is🔥

your statement is false and your devotion to the cult of fossil fuels will be your undoing. stay mad, liberal

I voted in both!

The NDP does best when it sticks to the guns.

Honestly, a UBI policy would be a single issue voting position for me. It is the right moral position, the right economic position, and the right social position. Refusal to implement UBI is holding much of society back for no gain at all. Let’s do it now!

An Energy War is Raging. The Last Thing Canada Needs is More Fossil Fuel Production. The Middle East war is the excuse du jour for new oil and gas exports. But with the energy shock driving importing countries to ditch fossil fuels, Canada must prepare for the industry's decline.

🧵Canadian politicians pushing pipelines in 2026 are just flat out wrong

"There is every reason to believe that the war will accelerate the fossil fuel decline that was already under way before the missiles & drones began to fly across the Middle East" energymixweekender.substack.com/p/an-energy-...

I really wish that leftists (in Alberta) could talk about climate emergency.

We need to stop burning fossil fuels. Continuing to rely upon O&G is unbelievably stupid and short-sighed.

Tensions between the federal and provincial NDP unlikely to ease as ANDP leader Nenshi is right out of the gates with an attack on the new federal leader Lewis today. The conflict is largely over o&g.

"We believe in more pipelines and in reducing emissions," Nenshi asserts, somewhat oxymoronically.

Something worth considering: it is incredibly radicalizing to hear the media lie about something you personally saw

9 million people are at home right now going "what the fuck, tens of thousands of people marched in my city alone"

Some percentage are gonna wonder what else the media is lying about
