I often wonder what passes through a follower's mind at that moment after they follow me and just before they think, "What have I done?"

French Embassy and echoing from the conversation with @jkjourno that I think of David every day I listen to Ukraine: The Latest and that I am also grateful you have continued the podcast.

Now how much to steal one of @DomNicholls' U:TL coffee mugs and get it sent to Canada?

@FrancisDearnley I probably say this every time I message, but I really appreciate the podcast you, and I'm massively impressed watching video this week. What particularly struck me was seeing Dr. McGlynn at the damaged school, the pictures @adeliepjz showed from the

I’m incredibly proud of my friend for having the courage to say what so many of us know and are thinking.

The conflict of interest is glaring, as is the illusion that these are good-faith talks. This administration has been working to undermine Ukraine’s elected government from the very beginning, Witkoff, even being caught openly advising Russian officials on how to manipulate Trump himself.

Frankly, it’s beyond me why this isn’t being reported on more widely.

[Mark Zaugg aka @[email protected] @Zarquil]

@DomNicholls Well Mister Fancy-pants and one of the few reasons I'm still on twitter at all, I just paused Ukraine: The Latest and listened to @MarkJCarney speech in Davos.

Thank you. I highly recommend listening to it start to finish as well.

@DomNicholls I can't tell you just how much happiness and sadness and joy and grief Ukraine: The Latest has brought to my life. Thank you for reading Lance Corporal George Hooley's note today.
It renews my resolve to stand for democracy and each other.

It's not just a political disagreement, it is revoking the fundamental rights of Albertans.
That is wrong. Full stop.

[Mark Zaugg aka @[email protected] @Zarquil]

Without any doubt in my mind, invoking the notwithstanding clause is, in fact, a most serious transgression. It is a breach of my trust on the most fundamental of levels and does not represent me whatsoever. @ABDanielleSmith #ableg

Notwithstanding Bill 9 - the followup. #ableg @rjsigurdson

tl;dr - Bad laws are bad.
Using the notwithstanding clause is bad.
Using the notwithstanding clause on bad laws is reprehensible.
And good gravy, I think I forgot to run it through a spell cheker.

@SenMarkKelly Mark, I just watched your speech and press conference.
I looked up to you literally as an astronaut. I look up to you now as a good man of morality. Sending love and respect to you as an old friend. Love and respect to Scott. Endless love and respect to Gabby.

@neudorf_ab, invoking the notwithstanding clause *is* serious misconduct. Respect the rights of citizens. #ableg

.@RjSigurdson I'm sorry. Invoking the notwithstanding clause *is* complete misconduct to me, particularly with regards to Bill 9. Bill 9 is cruel, uninformed, unscientific, and puts too much power to elected ideologues, not the people most affected.
I still await your reply.

. @RJSigurdson, who serves as agriculture minister... “They are weaponizing (recall) because they don’t like the policy that was put forward by the government,” he said.

“I don’t think that was ever what recall was intended for; it was meant for complete misconduct only.” 1/3

A letter to my MLA: Bill 9 is wrong. Hiding behind the notwithstanding clause is unconscionable.

Relying on the notwithstanding clause to pass this offensive bill is unacceptable.

Mr. Barlow, I am one of your constituents in Okotoks. I live in the house my mother built in 1998, my roots run deep in Southern Alberta and I intend to die here, hopefully many years in the future. My children intend to live here once I have gone.

I know full well our history of local support defending against dictators and injustice. You will find me on Remembrance Day at our cenotaph every year. We need to stand now to support allies in Europe once again. Those who will act and demonstrate support shall also get mine.
