In the last 24 hours, all my Tik Tok content has been removed for US users.
I have about 250K followers on there, 80% are American. They now see NOTHING.
I know many on here hate Tik Tok. But it is a huge platform for 18-24 year olds and information suppression is the fascist’s tool of choice.

This interview is great! Vassy Kapelos holds no punches on this. Responses predictably misrepresent the facts, but it's totally worth watching!
Albertans deserve better than an undemocratic, authoritarian government with an absent Premier.

Danielle Smith is using the notwithstanding clause to protect herself while crushing individuals' Charter rights.
That’s not freedom, that’s cowardice.
And Albertans won’t stand for it.
🛩️ 🇸🇦🇦🇪 Premier Danielle Smith is jetting off to Saudi Arabia and Dubai just as her UCP government is expected to invoke the constitutional sledgehammer known as the Notwithstanding Clause in its legislation to force striking teachers back to work.

Monday marks a full year of continuous measles transmission in Canada, a milestone that’s poised to set the country back decades on a global health commitment. https://cnn.it/48PE3Oo
Alberta’s New Democrats urge Danielle Smith to call off this back-to-work legislation, denounce any potential use of the notwithstanding clause, and actually do the hard work to make classrooms better for teachers and students.

Danielle Smith and the UCP would rather fight than win.
Alberta’s New Democrats stand with students, teachers, parents, and workers.
We will vigorously oppose any back-to-work legislation this government brings forward.

It wasn't fake. It was edited. But Reagan really did spend a five-minute speech – an April 25, 1987, national radio address that the Reagan Library has published on YouTube – to rail against tariffs. It was a full-throated expression of support for free and fair trade.

Albertans know what's at stake.
Danielle Smith is attacking teachers, parents, students, and workers. We won't stand for it.
Alberta's New Democrats stand for public education.

Amanda's kids go to a school that's 141% over capacity.
A grade 1 classroom with 43 kids, where kids are eating lunch on the floor, and there isn't enough support to go around.
This is unacceptable.
Alberta's kids deserve better.

Danielle Smith provoked this strike.
The UCP wants to break public education.
We won't let them. #WeStandWithTeachers

You don't quite have words, but something is off. You feel stagnant, stuck. The incessant scrolling takes you from one painful story to the next. Your days feel repetitive, resigned to the tyranny of demands, rutted for what has felt like an eternity.

Comedy Central's Jon Stewart opened "The Daily Show" with an extended riff sarcastically praising President Donald Trump after fellow talk show host Jimmy Kimmel was suspended by ABC.
The task of preaching is not to bring commentary on current events but to bring a word from elsewhere.
Over the last few months, some US tourists have revived a decades-old practice of masquerading as Canadians in order to avoid anti-American sentiment abroad under the Trump administration. https://cnn.it/4nuJ1Uw

At a nature reserve in Kenya, the last two northern white rhinos in existence live under the 24/7 protection of armed guards. The subspecies has been driven to near extinction by decades of poaching and civil war.

AB teachers are working tirelessly in overcrowded classrooms, but the UCP is setting them up to fail
We have the lowest per-student funding in Canada — families feel it every day
It’s time for Danielle Smith to get back to the table & negotiate in good faith

Danielle Smith and Demetrios Nicolaides don't care about your kids, about EAs making poverty wages, or about reaching a settlement with teachers.
It's not an accident; it's a choice.
Enough is enough.
We stand with teachers because we know we're #BetterTogether.
