Ned Yeung"You listened to my child and called them by the name they asked you to! You broke the law and I am getting you fired from your job!"This level of extremist control and power manipulation is incomprehensible. This level of hateful parenting and hatred of your own children and who they are, is incomprehensible.Knowing that our Premier in Alberta, Danielle Smith, not only praised this legislation in Florida, told us how she "greatly admired" governor Ron DeSantis for his "Don't Say Gay" legislation, then enacted the same sort of legislation in Alberta, is also incomprehensible.This is what Danielle Smith supports. Extreme authoritarian rule where angry reactionaries can fire public school teachers for simply listening to their kids.This is unconscionable. We must vote out the UCP and demand that the new government repeal these hateful transphobic, homophobic, anti-queer laws in Alberta.<a href="https://people.com/florida-teacher-fired-for-using-student-s-preferred-name-without-parental-consent-11713353" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://people.com/florida-teacher-fired-for-using-student-s-preferred-name-without-parental-consent-11713353</a><a href="https://beige.party/tags/abpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#abpoli</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/cdnpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cdnpoli</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#uspol</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/transrightsarehumanrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#transrightsarehumanrights</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/transrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#transrights</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/GayRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GayRights</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/rondesantis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rondesantis</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/daniellesmith" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#daniellesmith</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ucp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ucp</a>

MissConstrueWell, the secret police are ramping up; The Trump administration has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying “anti-Christian bias” as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new executive order on supporting employees of Christian faith working in the federal government.The department, according to a copy of an internal cable obtained by POLITICO, will work with an administration-wide task force to collect information “involving anti-religious bias during the last presidential administration” and will collect examples of anti-Christian bias through anonymous employee report forms.So, that’s fun!<a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/11/state-report-anti-christian-bias-033535" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/11/state-report-anti-christian-bias-033535</a><a href="https://mefi.social/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#uspol</a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/statedept" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#statedept</a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/insanity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#insanity</a>
