.@JamesTalarico: For 50 years, the religious right convinced our fellow Christians that the most important issues were abortion and gay marriage—two issues that aren't mentioned in the Bible.
Jesus tells us exactly how we're going to be judged: by feeding the hungry, by healing the sick, and by welcoming the stranger.
Don’t tell me what you believe. Show me how you treat other people, and I’ll tell you what you believe. Jesus gave us two commandments: love God and love neighbor.
There was no exception to that second commandment regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status, or religious affiliation.
⚡️🇪🇸🇺🇸JUST IN: Spain’s PM Pedro Sanchez:
After much reflection, Spain has decided not to participate in the so-called Board of Peace.
We thank them for the invitation, but we decline.
This board is outside the United Nations framework. It does not include the Palestinian Authority.
The future of Gaza and the West Bank must be decided by Palestinians.
Spain has tripled its defense spending since I became prime minister. We are investing €34 billion a year in defense.
At the same time, we will not renounce public healthcare, public education, social cohesion, or development aid.
Security is not only weapons.
Security is scholarships for our children. Security is public hospitals for our elderly.
Journalist, "Mark Carney said the middle powers need to adapt to a world without American leadership, in some sense, that's an anti American point of view"
Gavin Newsom, "When I was listening to the EU president Ursual von der Leyen speak, that used to be us"
"Am I surprised by what Carney did?"
"I had more leaders in the US privately - not publicly - send me the transcript of that speech"
"The clarity came from the Prime Minister of Canada"
"The fact that Carney went to China, came back with a deal, including for low cost high quality electric vehicles not made in Michigan, Detroit, but overseas?"
"It says everything you need to know about the recklessness of America's foreign policy under Trump"
"It's a remarkable thing to break down 80+ years of alliances"
"It takes decades to build trust, organisations"
"It takes weeks, hours, minutes, to destroy it"
"Destruction is not strength"
"The Trump administration is weakness masquerading as strength"
"That's reflect in his tweets, in cancelling people, in sending masked men into American cities"
"I respect what Carney did, because his courage of conviction, he stood up, and I think we need to stand up in America"
"We can lose our republic as we know it"
"Our country will become unrecognisable"
“Leaders who thrive on conflict do so because solutions leave no one else to blame.”
Premier Danielle Smith has made blame the cornerstone of her leadership. When faced with controversy, crisis, or criticism, her first move isn’t reflection - it’s deflection.
The list of targets is long: teachers, Ottawa, regulators, municipalities, nurses, doctors, school boards, police, even Indigenous communities turned into political theatre. This isn’t a personality quirk - it’s the UCP’s governing strategy.
By constantly pointing fingers, the UCP keep their base focused on outrage instead of outcomes. Blame becomes the message - accountability, the casualty. If hospital care declines, blame AHS. Overcrowded classrooms? Teachers. Energy pressures? Ottawa. Contract scandals? Pick a fight - any fight. There’s always a villain - never an internal reckoning.
It’s all meant to sustain the narrative that Alberta is under siege, that someone else is always holding us back. But that spin comes at a cost: every manufactured fight is a missed opportunity to solve a real problem.
Strong leaders take responsibility. Accountability builds trust. Humility builds credibility. But the UCP govern as if every criticism is an attack and every challenge a battle to win - leadership by talk radio.
Albertans deserve better - solutions, not scapegoats. Our biggest challenges - health care, education, affordability, the economy - won’t be fixed through conflict. They demand steady hands, honest reflection, and shared purpose.
Until that replaces the politics of blame, the cycle continues.

I stand with Alberta teachers now and every day.
Compensate our educators fairly or call an election so we can vote for people who will.
Our children deserve better.
I gotta be honest. I've been documenting U.S. worship leader #SeanFeucht for the last 6 years, on Heaven Bent. First out of curiosity, then concern. And to see him this week, gaslight, lie, and fundraise his way across MY country has left me gutted. There are well-documented claims of financial fraud, and legitimate warnings about supporting his ministry. There are former employees with public allegations of spiritual abuse & ethical misconduct. He literally celebrates the suffering of 2slgbtqia+ youth. He’s dangerous and an absolute turd. Happy Sunday. 🇨🇦
@IBKR no call back, no response after several messages in the message center. Is this the kind of service we can expect going forward; RBC looks pretty attractive right now with all those free transactions and the massive gift
@BastionGPT Is there a way to create a word doc from the output? I can get it to make a table but I don't need to copy all the columns; but I can't select just the columns I want so I have to manually copy which isn't efficient
@JBradshaw01 Many of the educators I’m in contact with take sick days to catch up on an unrealistic workload. Choosing a surveillance approach over addressing the real issues speaks volumes about the lack of vision and competence of policy makers
government: hey is it cool if we spend $115,000 to house this poor person for a year
voters: wtf?? absolutely not
government: but what if I told you they had a small amount of marijuana and need to be punished
voters: in that case absolutely, spend as much as you like
@Noellenarwhal @MikeLoychik Or even just another state for that matter: https://t.co/4ZN1Sawakz ‘Eight states — California, Hawaii, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland and New Jersey — have the strictest gun laws and the lowest rates of gun violence.’
