Since the UCP is so scared of gay people, I just wanted to show you what gay people look like. This is me and my boyfriend. We bought and renovated our house. We rescued two animals. We own two companies and each have employees. We are just humans. That's all.
It's hard for me to explain how hard this election has been. Every day, I've been forced to explain that we are not pedophiles, we shouldn't be fired for being gay and God doesn't hate us. I'm not sure how attacking gay people helps any economy. thestar.com/edmonton/2019/…
I only ask that people who say "I always vote conservative" look at what the UCP has said about us. Do you think it will be better if they win? Richard and I are just humans. Please vote for humanity.
Despite the daily attacks on our lives, I've been trying to stay positive. Tomorrow, we'll be launching @DemocracyDonuts and feeding hundreds of voters every day. Then on Wednesday, we'll be doing #DragOutTheVote. I'm trying. I'm smiling. I think probably for those who can't.

He voted against every LGTBQ law for 30 years.
The UCP has candidates who call gay people pedophiles.
The UCP has members who've compared the Pride flag to Nazis.
But now that it might cost him an election, Kenney doesn't want to talk about it?
I got time, so #QueerLetsTalkAB.
Kenney was responsible for barring dying AIDS patients in San Francisco from seeing their partners in their last days. And as of last week, still won't apologize for it. #QueerLetsTalkAB thestar.com/opinion/contri…
He called a landmark court ruling that gave LGBTQ people in Alberta basic employment and housing rights a “virus”. #QueerLetsTalkAB

You mean the party that has a homophobic leader, no LGTBQ candidates, official anti-gay policies, a member that compared gay people to nazis twice on video, also had a candidate that didn't like Pride parades!? I'm shocked! Shocked I tells you. #ableg
Also, I told everyone four months ago that @caylanford sympathized with homophobes. But no one ever believes gay people. I don't know how much more proof you need. Think of the worst things you could say and Kenney has said and done them. That's who he is.
I don't care that a white nationalist doesn't like Pride, I care that the UCP will wipe out LGTBQ education and health and they couldn't be more obvious about it.

Where on Earth would racists think they are welcome in the UCP?

Oh.

Because they literally invite them to come Alberta.
I believe @jkenney.

Where would we ever get the idea that the UCP is willing to work with racists.

Oh, I remember:

Calgary UCP hopeful offered support to Instagram page posting racist, anti-Semitic memes thestar.com/calgary/2018/0… via @torontostar
Or maybe it's because Jason Kenney literally said it was an advantage that one of his MLAs worked on the Trump campaign. You know, that guy that calls Nazis "fine people." globalnews.ca/news/4331183/a…

Big Jason just gave a h*ckuva speech down here at #UCP #ableg campaign HQ.

I'll be honest, after getting his clock cleaned by Adler and Jespersen, and then cleaned again just by Adler, it's possible our morale flagged a bit... but then... BUT THEN BY G*SH

1/
oh wait, I'm not saying ol' Vic's morale flagged, oh no, I hitched my wagon to the back of Big Jason's bicycle and I'm so power hungry I don't care what he does.

But you know not _all_ our candidates are as devoted as ol' Vic.

Anyhoo, where was I?

Oh right, we're sitting around HQ, wondering if maybe it's time to start returning Derek's calls, when we hear this almighty roaring outside, getting louder and louder

Hilarious. Also, this morning I read through the entire #UCP platform, and it is full of dogwhistles, pandering to business, and deeply troubling policy "ideas" (a word I'm using rather charitably here).

A thread will be forthcoming in the next little while. #ableg
As promised: deconstructing the #UCP platform.

Kenney continues to be leader of three parties, and we should all remember his astroturfing of social media accounts, like Unite Alberta. It's in this spirit, of course, that the platform isn't actually on the UCP website. #ableg
It's fine to have election-specific pages, but it's interesting to have an entire website dedicated to this campaign that, really, operates as yet another Kenney front, which was registered in 2016, a year and a half before the UCP even existed. #ableg

When did Trump publicly let us know he was being framed? April 26, 2016. This date comes up frequently in George Papadopolous's testimony released today. Let's break it down a bit.
In a previous post I lay out Lynch takes herself out of running for SCOTUS nomination March 8. March 9 Rogers begins working with I believe Rod Rosenstein March 9 on improper Upstream 702 (17) about searches by FBI contractors. George Papadopolous is interviewed- Clovis 9-11th.
Misfud takes a liking to George Papadopolous once he learns that George is working on the Trump campaign. They both are in attendance at Link University which George later learns is associated with Western Intelligence. Not the type of place where Russians wouls be welcome.

Look, I don't know Chris Pratt, and I never will. I'm only familiar with his work onscreen. But I know how churches like @Hillsong work because I've attended a church like it. Let me take you on a tour of the culture. (thread)
Quick disclaimer: I'm a church-going Christian. I have my own personal relationship with God. I'm also a flaming liberal and a proud trans woman. I also am a big believer that people should mind their own goddamn business and keep religion out of government. So, with that...
Imagine that all the bad shit in Christianity remains but now it's dressed up in really soft, warm sermons and concert-like worship services with stage lights and fashionable preachers and a heavy emphasis on pop music and youth-centered messaging. Hateful w/ an Instagram charm.

[Thread] With Canada's Conservatives going into a full court press in Alberta, I think it's worth taking a look at what we might expect from a Kenney-led government. #ableg #abpoli /1
The first point to bear in mind here is the fact that we are seeing the same tactics being played out at all levels of government where conservatives are running. /2
In Alberta, we've had Kenney running around making all sorts of dog-whistle politics claims about how "great" he will make Alberta, but he has been surprisingly silent about just what that means in terms of policy. /3

A rebel without a cause and a model student make a peculiar pair, doesn't it?

Seulgi's a leather-clad lass while Joohyun wears the school's (and her own) image like a jacket. The former's flunking in academics, so the student council president has to help her.
—time stamps may be wrong. lol
—irregular updates, be patient
—ask me anything curiouscat.me/redroomaus
—don't reply, quote instead
—rts and likes are appreciated xoxo
bae joohyun's a student model and a model student. literally. she's a part-time model and the student council president, in charge of the activities and behavior of the student body. the older step-sister of kim yerim.
