It's not just about any one leader it’s about the system and the long term damage done. Institutions have been weakened, and protections eroded. Our fight is in the everyday: protesting, publishing, and protecting each other. That's how we push back and rebuild what's been lost.

And they do not begin and end with Donald Trump by any means. He was a short-term investment.

Seats have been filled, institutions weakened, and protections weakened for what comes after.

We must protest, publish and protect one another as a way of life until THAT is stopped.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

When the UCP invokes the NWC to target trans kids today, I will be remembering that a week ago my MLA for Fort Sask - Vegreville said this was not a thing. The UCP literally doesn't care what Albertans think, need, want. They are corrupt and immoral. #ableg #abpoli

Why Trump can't make the Epstein scandal go away His ordinary scandal management techniques are not working.

"What did Trump think Epstein was 'stealing' these girls for? Epstein did not own a resort hotel. The answer is that he was recruiting them for his sex trafficking operation. The idea that Trump would have had any uncertainty on that point is absurd." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

Alberta allowed cash-strapped MAGA Energy to acquire 170 wells | The Narwhal The Alberta Energy Regulator approved MAGA Energy, already in financial distress, to acquire 170 oil and gas wells. Unpaid bills will likely fall on taxpayers

The Alberta Energy Regulator touts its rules for preventing financially strained companies from acquiring new licences. So why did MAGA Energy get approval to take over hundreds of sites when it was "in survival mode"? thenarwhal.ca/maga-energy-... #ableg #cdnpoli

Alberta allowed cash-strapped MAGA Energy to acquire 170 wells | The Narwhal The Alberta Energy Regulator approved MAGA Energy, already in financial distress, to acquire 170 oil and gas wells. Unpaid bills will likely fall on taxpayers

According to an email obtained by The Narwhal, MAGA Energy’s revenues had dropped and the company was in “survival mode” when Alberta allowed it to acquire 170 oil wells. Now, the company isn’t paying its bills to landowners and owes taxes to at least one municipality. thenarwhal.ca/maga-energy-...

Rural Albertans face growing problems with oil and gas wells | The Narwhal The Alberta government is pushing a new plan to deal with years of regulatory failure. Alberta landowners aren’t convinced

In one corner of rural Alberta, landowners are increasingly frustrated as oil lease cheques stop coming. But they're also frustrated with the regulator, with government and with a system that uses tax dollars to bail companies out. #ableg #cdnpoli thenarwhal.ca/alberta-land...

Yesterday, our incredible volunteers in Edmonton-Glenora joined supporters across Alberta for our province-wide Day of Action!

We were out in the community having meaningful conversations about health care, affordability, education, and what matters most to our neighbours. #ableg #abpoli #abndp

Folks told us they are frustrated with Danielle Smith’s attacks on teachers, the growing strain on our public health care system, and the UCP’s reckless instability.

Alberta’s New Democrats are ready to lead with competence, compassion, and integrity. 🍊✊

Medical update from Alberta:
Premier Measles, doesn't want you vaccinated against measles because bad things could happen. Not measles, measles would be okay, but some spooky other thing he/she can't explain or identify. But it could be really bad if it exists.

When the Premier of Alberta says EMS is fixed, maybe she means "fixed" in the horse-race sense.
