Windspeaker.comNation advances constitutional challenge of Alberta “Sovereignty Act”, confronting separatist rhetoricOnion Lake Cree Nation (OLCN) is advancing its litigation against the Government of Alberta in its constitutional challenge of the Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act (Sovereignty Act). Yesterday afternoon OLCN requested Premier Smith’s government to file their Statement of Defence, forcing Alberta to defend its position in passing the Sovereignty Act and relying on it to encourage separatism.

#Montana Becomes First State to Close the Law Enforcement #DataBroker #Loophole

Montana … has just enacted the first attempt to close the dreaded, invasive, #unconstitutional , but easily fixed “data broker loophole.” This is a very good step in the right direction because right now, across the country, law enforcement routinely purchases information on individuals it would otherwise need a #warrant to obtain.

Windspeaker.comRobinson Huron chiefs Say they will not sit idly by on Bill 5 violation of Canada’s treaty relationshipsThe Robinson Huron Chiefs are demanding that Premier Doug Ford honour treaty commitments and ensure that First Nations consent is obtained for any decisions impacting their lands, rights, and futures. The Ontario government quietly tabled Bill 5, the Protect Ontario by Unleashing Our Economy Act—a sweeping piece of legislation that would erode First Nation rights and could repeal the Endangered Species Act.

The argument

"I have nothing to hide"

Is false and devoid of humanity. It is above all else a human trait. Choosing not to share what you did last weekend with your employer, that was a choice that deliberately favored your privacy. When you chose to withhold the tears in that emotional and vulnerable moment, that was a choice for privacy too. We all have things to hide, because again, it is a human trait

Moreover, these choices impact others as well. If the "I have nothing to hide" argument preceeds giving your unlocked phone to a random party, you violate the privacy and therefore humanity (and its respect) of those close to you. Remember that friend you've exchanged Signal messages with, about that particular dire situation you are in? You just grossly violated the trust put in you.

Same with random apps you install and grant whatever permission they ask for.

Please, please always be considerate of others. Seemingly small actions might have a dire impact on those close to you. Do better and be better.

Thank you :flan_heart:

"Have you ever gone into your favourite #neighbourhood café with the paper that you buy every day, and you open it up and inside is a 500-word #opinion written by a nice middle-class woman, the kind of woman who probably gives to charity, the kind of woman that you would be happy to leave your #children with. And she is arguing so #reasonably about whether you should be treated less than everybody else, arguing that you should be given fewer #rights than everybody else." 1/2

I wrote an essay, Linked World, on my blog. It's about how it's no longer possible to talk about Business without talking about Politics in the US. There used to be a polite fiction that these were separable, but that fiction can no longer be meaningfully maintained. Our business world, at least for now, is completely political.

Trump admitted that he won't follow the #Constitution, & he's demonstrated it: J6, refuses to recognize #dueprocess, attacks & threatens judges & his "enemies," violates the emoluments clause, rights, free press, usurps the powers of the judicial & legislative branches of govt...

"Trump’s crypto conflicts are so serious that they implicate the Emoluments Clause—the ONLY conflicts rule in the Constitution."

2 US officials tell CBS News the #TrumpRegime may soon start deporting migrants to Libya, expanding its mass deportation campaign to the troubled North African country.

The #deportations could start as early as this week, the officials said.

Libya is one of several far-flung nations the US govt has been asking to accept deportations of migrants from 3rd Cs.

This is unconscionable,💔but given the inhumane treatment in #CECOT in SLV .

The #SAVEAct , Which Could Stop Millions of #Women From #Voting , Is ‘Dead on Arrival’ in the #Senate | Glamour

After the Republican-led House of Representatives passed the SAVE Act, a #voter registration bill that experts warn could #disenfranchise millions of women across the country, fears began to emerge that it would similarly be approved in the #Senate.

However, according to Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, that’s not happening.
