"I asked a man in prison once how he happened to be there and he said he had stolen a pair of shoes. I told him if he had stolen a railroad he would be a United States Senator." -- Mother Jones, born #OTD 1837

When we talk about the rule of law, this is ground zero: Alberta’s joke of a regulatory system with legislative restrictions on judicial oversight. The pro industry big firms churning out blogs on this decision, not looking at the board ♟️ . Hopefully the jig is up.

Here’s the thing about Trump and MAGA. They never smear people who are actually corrupt. Those people get complements, jobs, contracts or pardons. If Trump and MAGA are smearing you, you may not be perfect, but you probably have some level of integrity that they really can’t handle.

Dr. Fauci is a hero. He really is. He helped guide America thru a mass death event. Millions more could have died but they did not, thanks to him. Everyone over 70 owes him a debt. It is disgusting that we live in a country that not only dishonors him but actively smears his good name.

My unvaccinated brother died of COVID in 2021. I was about a year and a half into my epidemiology career. Healthcare staff did absolutely everything they could but they cannot cure ignorance. They cannot cure an anti-science belief and culture. Thats YOUR responsibility. Not Dr. Fauci’s.
