NEW: A huge ice sculpture of the word “DEMOCRACY” is currently melting away in front of the US Capitol.

Organized by artists and activists, it was commissioned by the Up In Arms campaign, an effort led by Ben Cohen, the cofounder of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.

Thou shalt not end vaccines. God will not save you from plague. The Middle Ages should’ve made that very clear.

The Alberta Next Panel: Good in theory, not in practice - The Gateway The Alberta Next Panel could've been an opportunity for voices to be heard by the premier, but instead it’s become a platform for her opinion

NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.

This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.

Groups push back on Alberta’s strategy to deal with inactive oil and gas wells as plan moves forward | CBC Accessibility A band of advocate groups are pushing back on the province's current plan to manage its inactive and aging oil and gas infrastructure.

Meintzer said he’s especially concerned that the mature asset strategy’s report, in his view, may violate the polluter pays principle... “It's just going to be used as a way to offload company cleanup obligations onto the public,” he said. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #ABLeg #ABPoli #CleanUpYourMess

Alberta hates socialism unless we are talking about funding the clean up of corporations messes.

"Olszynski said he believes this could be rewarding neglect. He said many tools to hold the industry accountable and to fund closures still exist, and the government needs to ensure those mechanisms are properly funded and enforced."

The people who created the problem are not going to clean it up.

Inside the Right-Wing Attack on Alberta's Public Education | The Tyee MAGA’s Project 2025 has become a blueprint for undermining Canada’s schools in the name of profit and privilege.

I began writing this story with a naive question in mind: What do we lose when public education is privatized? A lot, actually.

By following the MAGA playbook, the UCP’s push against public education not only undermines democracy, it jeopardizes the possibility of a better future for all Albertans.

The push to ​‘conservatize’ Calgary’s public school board | The Sprawl Not a slate, candidates say.

NEW STORY: The push to 'conservatize' Calgary's public school board. Six CBE trustee candidates have campaign materials that look identical—so we took a closer look. #yyccc #ableg

My conclusion: Oil & gas companies must clean up their mess. Strengthen and enforce the cleanup and closure rules. Don’t add to the problem. No more hardship and headaches imposed on landowners... Get Alberta's house in order. [11/n] #ABLeg #ABPoli

The Alberta government's Mature Action Strategy will make Alberta taxpayers pay to clean up the toxic messes left by oil and gas companies. "MAS is a strategy for industry, not for landowners and Albertans." #ableg #abpol @nagwanyyc.bsky.social

Albertans, government officials and organizations from across the province attended to hear Bill Heidecker, president of Alberta Surface Rights Federation condemn the province’s strategy for dealing with unprofitable wells (some 88% of oil and gas wells in Alberta).

Momentum is growing for a Youth Climate Corps, a bold new public program to put young people to work protecting our communities & tackling the climate crisis.

It's built for this moment.

CO2 from wildfires increases by 9% as climate crisis supercharges infernos Greenhouse gases from wildfires at sixth highest level on record after blazes in large areas of the Americas and Africa Carbon emissions from extreme wildfires increased by 9% last year to reach the sixth highest level on record. Intense fast-spreading fires devastated huge swathes of South America’s rainforests, dry forests and wetlands and decimated Canada’s northern forests, pushing up the levels of damaging greenhouse gases.

Experts @timmonsroberts.bsky.social @aronczyk.bsky.social and @johnfocook.bsky.social speak with @trackchangesmedia.bsky.social on the rising threat of climate disinformation in the media, solutions misinformation, and the attack on climate science and scientists themselves.

S14, Ep2 | Welcome to the Rapture! How Rightwing Populism and Accelerationism Intersect with Climate Investigating the obstacles to action on climate change.

See the latest episode of @drilledmedia.bsky.social where authors of our upcoming book, Climate Obstruction: A Global Assessment discuss the rise of rightwing populism and its relationship to climate resistance. The podcast can be found here: drilled.media/podcasts/dri...

"Efforts to address climate change have been unsuccessful, we believe because of the work to obstruct them and our failure to understand and overcome this obstruction."

This is the quiet, but slowly getting louder horror story taking place across the northern hemisphere

All of these warriors for democracy know just how crucial passing Prop 50 is.

It's ESSENTIAL that California passes it & that means that we need resisters across the nation to help.

If you care about democracy follow these activists, post about it often & volunteer!

YES ON 50!
