Pam Bondi is planning on getting this rule passed before anyone pays attention. Basically gives immunity to all her minions by blocking any other investigation into her illegal actions. Please comment before April 6, unless you are okay with this. www.regulations.gov/document/DOJ...

I did some filming for this week’s vlog going up on my YouTube channel.

These are some of the cast members for my first children’s book! It’s based on one of my favourite Palestinian folktales.

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.

The first mosque in Canada - and the second in N. America - is in Edmonton. Alberta has always been multicultural, built not just by white Christians, but its original Indigenous inhabitants and then by generations of courageous, adventurous, immigrants from around the world. That is our story.

Today is #SettlerSaturday, a day for allies on Turtle Island to give back to Indigenous folks whose land you occupy that was illegally settled. If 13 people gave $50, would be able to help a Native student mom feed her baby! $170/$800. Anything helps!

Hey, Canada. A queer indigenous Albertan, here. Alberta is Canada’s punchline. I get it, believe me. The UCP has 100% earned it.

But my trans relatives here are having a tough time, particularly our youth. The UCP has enabled discrimination for those so inclined. That’s taking a toll. 1/2

When you next hear a billionaire screaming at you that trans people are a β€œdanger to women and girls”, just remember who’s in the Epstein files.

Trans people: zero.
Billionaires: all of them.

Today Show host Savannah Guthrie’s mother reported missing in Pima County Authorities say Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen the evening of Jan. 31 at her residence in Catalina Foothills. Deputies say it is unknown what clothing she may be wearing.

There has been a helicopter circling for hours by my house in Tucson. It turns out it’s because Savannah Guthrie’s mom is missing.

So I was 5 years old when US women could open bank accounts without male approval, and in my early 20’s when marital rape was outlawed.
