Never trust any politician who preemptively uses the notwithstanding clause of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to pass legislation. That goes for Pierre Poilievre, Doug Ford, François Legault, Danielle Smith, and other authoritarian dipshits.

nina turner is unique in the way in which her career has demonstrated the pathologies of both the Democratic left (low-trust grifter incapable of organizing a child's birthday party) and center (incompetent suck-up who rose through party offices, on charter school payroll, aggrieved at tiny slights)
all else aside it's absolutely hilarious to me that someone is stating in what-is-assumed-to-be-good-faith that the Democratic National Committee, an organization that mostly does paperwork for other politicians, could or should organize mass civil disobedience
Nina Turner is an unserious grifter

It’s time to admit it. Charter Schools are failing our students. Not IPS. We must push back the notion that IPS should close and start having the real conversation; that charter schools must go!

Public schools are a sacred trust, a moral obligation to our community’s future.

As a Commissioner on the Minneapolis Charter Commission, I want to explain clearly why I cannot support the proposed charter amendment as written. This comes down to structure, process, and public trust. ⬇️

Never trust a leader who promises to use the notwithstanding clause of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to push through right-wing “reforms” that would otherwise be illegal. What Pierre Poilievre wants to do is taken right out of Donald Trump’s playbook.

Russia already promised this.
Budapest Memorandum (1994): broke it.
Friendship Treaty (1997): broke it.
UN Charter & Geneva Conventions: broke them—invading, torturing, executing POWs.
INF, CFE, Open Skies: walked away.

A new Duma law? Just another lie in ink.

I don’t trust a word.
Witkoff claims Putin agreed to "legislative enshrinement within the Russian Federation not to go after any other territories when the peace deal is codified " and "legislative enshrinement in the Russian Federation not to go after any other European countries."

What could possibly go wrong?

If you want to see the BBC improve, then you MUST take part in the consultation as part of the Charter renewal.

It is open now!

I've spoken before on how the word 'impartial' used prominently in the current Charter to define the BBC's purposes is a major problem, only being added in 2017.

A crypto venture tied to the Trump family is asking federal regulators to charter its own national trust bank. If the OCC approves it, a Trump-family business gets a federally backed bank that mints its own dollar-pegged stablecoin. Tell Congress to block the charter.
Block the World Liberty Financial National Bank Trust Charter
Congress must stop the approval of a national bank trust charter for World Liberty Financial. If approved, this charter would allow the Trump-linked venture to issue its own stablecoin.

The Democratic Party's charter says it best: “A party which asks for the people's trust must prove that it trusts the people.” That's a principle worth fighting for, and one I intend to uphold now and as long as I am Chair of this great institution.

The Democratic Party’s Charter puts it best: “a party which asks for the people's trust must prove that it trusts the people.”

@kenmartin.bsky.social is exactly right. It’s a conflict of interest for party leadership to prop up some candidates at the expense of others. time.com/7280045/vote...

One area where I trust journalism the least is education. The Strib has a critical look at charter schools, but the take seems to be state law can fix. However, their story on Rhode Island, where it’s “working” only quotes charter school advocates … zero skeptics. www.startribune.com/minnesota-ch...
What Minnesota charter schools can learn from Rhode Island's success
Rhode Island leads the nation in charter school performance. Advocates say adopting some of Rhode Island’s methods might help Minnesota’s struggling charter school system.

Hey Bluesky - guess where the charter school money is going?

Well to folks like this - ACT's friend Alwyn Poole who last time round the Attorney General found deficiencies for in the handling of charter school public money. i.e the school board paid a trust $450,000. Run by Poole's wife.

Today, the Trump family’s crypto company applied for a banking charter.

The application should be denied, but there’s realistically no way Trump-appointed regulators will do that. This charter will help the president profit from the recently passed stablecoin law.
