I'm a descendant of settlers, I benefit from this shit. But ya know what? Give the fucking #LandBack

We're dealing with more of it so: Heat illness: What it is, how to prevent it, how to spot it, and how to deal with it when you see it.

QTing this story a second time, because two white dudes arguing what counts as genocide while overshadowing the discovery of mass graves is a pretty on the nose metaphor for the goddamn problem.

It keeps going

@mastermaq @troypavlek Thanks for making the show! It's the best way I know of to keep up with council and city developments!

@mastermaq @troypavlek This episode got some of the most visceral reactions out of me. While there's more nuance, "give businesses $300,000 for security guards and to exile people living rough" is disgusting, and the 2 min pandering at the end to our hard-done-by cops? Gross.

Informative, but gross.

1/ It continues to amaze me that week after week these “freedom” protests are led by a literal nazi waving an anticommunism flag

Organizers want to debunk the fact that white supremacists walk among them but do absolutely nothing to stop them #yyc #yyccc

Calgary Police have released a statement on the Beltline protests today. Here's the story: https://t.co/sWUvhFNq7F

Time for some new CDC guidelines

[Ahmed Ali @DrAhmednurAli]

You can (and should), unapologetically advocate for the Ukrainian people’s safety and peace AND you can call out the hypocrisy and racism on full display with the comparisons to other conflicts. They are not mutually exclusive. Let your sense of humanity be on full display.

"It poses a chill on us." #yegcc councilor @michaeljanz on the Edmonton Police Association filing a code of conduct complaint against some of his tweets (he has since been cleared by the office of the Integrity Commissioner) #yeg

[crab @WishingWalrus]

WOW

I can't say I'm surprised, I can say it's disgusting, and I can also say #abolishthepolice

Though, I'll take #DefundEPS in the meantime.

[Troy Pavlek @troypavlek]

The president of the Edmonton Police Association @AFPAElliott confirmed they maintain a list of "critics" of the EPS, and thinks that #yegcc councillors should be prohibited from interacting with "known critics".

They tried to silence @michaeljanz.

This is absolutely chilling.

[crab @WishingWalrus]

If for some reason you follow me for all the doom-scrolling, here is some other news that is also deeply chilling. We gotta fix this one, pals. I worry more about this than any nuclear apocalypse.

Live-tweeting from #IPCC #ClimateReport launch now. @antonioguterres calls it "An atlas of human suffering and a damning indictment. Nearly half of humanity are living in the danger zone, many ecosystems are at the point of new return, NOW. The global energy mix is broken." 1/n
