A good summary.Thread.

I do.

Democracy is slow grinding work.
Autocracy promises quick easy solutions.
Democracy requires a lot of its citizens.
Autocracy allows people to be lazy.
Democracy requires compromise.

Democracy strives for fairness but can never be completely fair . . .

She should have WAY more follows.

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

OMB nominee Hal Duncan: “This administration is committed to gold standard science and wants to advance the best cancer research that we possibly can.”

Sen. Slotkin: “Slashing cancer research…is not a way to uphold a gold standard for cancer research.”

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

This is huge.

The MOU with Iran is nothing short of a complete surrender. Regardless of whether you support the war or not, there is not reason to have given Iran everything it wanted, to get NOTHING but 60 more days to talk. I’m sorry America, because this is an EPIC FAILURE.

[Brandi Morin @Songstress28]

WOW. Big news.

The Assembly of Treaty Chiefs just dropped a bomb on Danielle Smith.

Treaty 6, 7 & 8. United. Unanimously calling for an RCMP and Auditor General investigation into whether the Premier and her UCP government committed TREASON under Section 46 of the Criminal Code of Canada.

The Chiefs met on Treaty 7 territory in Calgary on June 16 and voted as one — pushing a separation referendum that puts Canada’s sovereignty at risk, trampling the Treaty relationship, ignoring privacy violations affecting millions, and opening the door to foreign interference. That’s the case they’re laying out.

And they’re going back to the source. When Treaty was signed, the Northwest Mounted Police — now the RCMP — made a promise: protect First Nations, protect these Territories. The Crown guaranteed peace and goodwill in exchange for sharing this land.

The Chiefs are saying: eff around and find out.

[The Breakdown @TheBreakdownAB]

The Alberta School Board Association earlier this month also affirmed their position that all children have a right to education as described in the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

This is also apparently in open defiance of Smith’s prejudicial referendum question.

🟥 America as a global leader is FINISHED.
This short clip tells the whole story. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The American President, for many many DECADES, has been the main attraction in EVERY room they walk into.
They have commanded respect and admiration in every chamber, effortlessly.

The whole room traditionally gravitated towards him. Always surrounded by leaders tripping over themselves just to get a few seconds of attention...

But now...

A dejected, hunched over, isolated, forlorn and pathetic figure.
The DULLEST, most unqualified, most corrupt character in every room he sits in.

ZERO to offer, except to ramble nonsensically (and non-stop) about the UFC, and the fist fights that took place on the White House lawn...

The ones that voted for this severely unqualified and vindictive wretch, wanted to "own the Dems".
And they especially hated the idea of a woman President.

How's it all working out?
Look what you've done to your once great country... 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m glad someone is saying this out loud: “The 51st state isn’t a joke. It’s a plan.”

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

CARNEY: Today, Canada announcing additional sanctions against Russia. Our PURL packages will soon arrive in Ukraine.

We’re working more closely with Ukraine on drone production. We’ll support Ukraine’s energy system for winter and help with reconstruction once peace is secured.

[Parksy @PfParks]

Hmmm…
Can’t afford to pay for teacher aids and the extra resources the teachers wanted to help our kids - take away teacher rights and force ‘em back.

Can’t afford to pay waiting room docs so ABs don’t die…

But got money to bribe w Dani-bucks?

Sounds really well planned…

[Acyn @Acyn]

Warnock: We have all of this naked, unabashed corruption. I don't know if Donald Trump was a billionaire or not the first time he ran, he said he was. But we all know he is now. He has made more money in this year and a half than he's made in his entire life. 

He's enriching his sons… He said he was going to look out for the families of this nation. And I guess since charity begins at home, he started with his own family. He just forgot about the rest of our families.

[Charles Prepolec 🇨🇦 🇬🇱 🇩🇰 🇺🇦 🇪🇺 @sherlockeditor]

🇨🇦 You know, all the horrible shit going going on in Alberta, stripping of rights, targeted destruction of both public healthcare & education, attack on judges, wanting an AB police force, constant wedge against Ottawa. The reason for all that shit is summed up in this one pic.

[Hon. Thomas A. Lukaszuk @LukaszukAB]

.@ABDanielleSmith this year, Alberta will produce more oil than any year in Alberta’s history.

Apparently, you’re flash with cash and giving away pre-election money.

Try convincing other provinces that we are downtrodden and victimized.

Messaging cohesion matters.

@atrupar Vance, & the other bloodsuckers & traitors of this criminal syndicate, have totally adopted Trump's compulsive situational lying. Their fake news & history are whatever conveniently fits a current narrative, always aimed at covering their crimes & blunders
