Who is behind a conspiratorial far-right group training an army of election fraud “scrutineers” to dispute votes and sow doubts about Alberta’s election?
Let’s zoom in on Benita Pedersen, the main organizer and host of these scrutineer training sessions 🧵

Benita Pedersen is a top Take Back Alberta organizer.
Pedersen emcees live events (see below) and is listed as an “admin” on the group’s Telegram channel – one of a small handful of people able to post messages to TBA supporters.

Before getting involved in Take Back Alberta, Benita Pedersen organized anti-vaccine protests at hospitals.
Here's video of Pedersen getting into a shouting match with a nurse at Edmonton’s Royal Alexandra Hospital, accusing the nurse of lying about patients inside.

Wenn ich dieser Tage Medienanfragen zu Klimapolitik 😂😥 bekomme, dann beantworte ich die in etwa so (liebe Journalist*innen, bitte nicht persönlich nehmen): Danke für die Anfrage. Nach den jüngsten Wahlergebnissen... 🧵1/5
...möchte ich derzeit keine Interviews zu Klima-Tagespolitik mehr geben, ob national oder international. Die politische Realität ist nämlich auf allen Ebenen so absurd weit von physischen Notwendigkeiten entfernt und der Abstand wird mit jeder Wahl größer, sodass... 2/

Zacznijmy od podstaw.
W 2003 roku Chiny uruchomiły "Wielką Zaporę", czyli system filtrujący cały ruch internetowy w kraju.
Google? Zablokowany. Facebook? Zablokowany. WhatsApp? Zablokowany. Wikipedia? Częściowo.
Ale to nie stworzyło pustki. To stworzyło przestrzeń, w której wyrosło coś zupełnie nowego.

If God wants you to leave a woman, He will show you these Nine signs…
(Save this for later)
Here are the 9 signs…
(Save this for later)
Here are the 9 signs…
1. The Presence of Contempt
Contempt is not anger. Anger says "you did something wrong." Contempt says "you are beneath me." It lives in the eye roll when you speak, the smirk when you share an opinion, the dismissive wave when you matter. Anger can be healed. Contempt cannot. When she looks at you like you are small, something inside you begins to wither.

2. A Persistent Diminishment of Your Mission
Your purpose, your calling, the work you were put on this earth to do, she treats it like an inconvenience. She makes you feel guilty for pursuing it. She frames your ambition as neglect. She positions herself between you and your path. A woman designed for you will fuel your fire. A woman who extinguishes it is leading you away from your destiny.

🔥Nalane SC Drops History Lesson in Pretoria High Court‼️
While Big Law fights the Legal Sector Code, Advocate Nalane SC just turned the court into a history class.
From colonialism and the British Scorched Earth Policy that torched Afrikaner farms and created the “poor white problem”… to the National Party building banks and law firms to uplift their own.
Black lawyers are now saying: We need our place in the sun. Thread 👇🧵1/...

2/..This is not the Minister’s Code.
It was developed by the legal sector itself. Minister Parks Tau was merely the midwife - facilitating what the profession asked for.
Yet Big Firms are back in court rehashing the same old concerns they’ve raised before, asking judges to give them their way.

3/..Transformation is not a favour.
It is embedded in our Constitution. It is our DNA.
After decades of exclusion, Black lawyers demand real structural change - ownership, leadership, and fair briefing - not excuses dressed up as “merit” arguments.
The Legal Sector Code is voluntary.
Don’t like it? Don’t use it.
But if you operate in this country and want the benefits that come with it, comply like everyone else. No special exemptions for Big Law.

I'm from Central Italy.
The Italians I know rarely spend their weekends in the hotspot cities.
Not Florence. Not Rome. Not Siena. They drive an hour east, or south, to towns no foreign list ever mentions.
Central Italy is the most concentrated cluster of beauty in the world.
9 underrated towns where the piazza is yours, the trattoria is real, and the Renaissance still feels personal.

Central Italy is the most concentrated cluster of beauty in the world.
9 underrated towns where the piazza is yours, the trattoria is real, and the Renaissance still feels personal.
🧵
Four things I screen for, in order:
1. Cultural depth. A fresco, piazza, festival, ruin you can't see anywhere else.
2. Real life. Bakeries, schools, doctors. Not a film set rented out from May to October.
3. "Beauty without the crush". Visitable in August without August ruining it.
4. Accessibility. Reachable from Rome, Florence, Bologna, or Ancona without a four-hour ordeal.
San Gimignano is gorgeous. Left it off. Fails the last two. Same for Assisi on a weekend in May (I've been there).
Three Marche, two Umbria, two Tuscany, two Lazio. Two nights minimum per town. Anything less and you miss the tempo.
This is mostly a travel list, but a few of these towns are also genuinely livable year-round.

1/ Ascoli Piceno (Marche)
Population 47,000.
Piazza del Popolo is one of the three most beautiful squares in Italy. The only one most foreigners have never heard of. Travertine paving so polished it mirrors the sky on a wet morning. Renaissance arcades on three sides. Caffè Meletti, an Art Nouveau bar untouched since 1907, on the fourth.
Two rivers wrap the historic center. Over a hundred medieval towers once stood here; about fifty are still visible. More towers than San Gimignano, in a town six times the size that doesn't make a tourist industry of them.
Train from Rome 3h30, from Ancona 1h30 by car. Best base: a small hotel inside the centro storico. You walk everywhere.
Eat olive all'ascolana, the fried stuffed olives invented here. The version at Migliori, on Piazza Arringo, is the original.
I've taken five different friends here. Not one of them had heard of Ascoli before. All five came back.

Anxiety isn’t just in your head.
It’s stored in your nervous system.
Here are 8 body-based ways to release it--without medication. 🧵
1. Walk barefoot on grass for 5–7 minutes.
It’s stored in your nervous system.
Here are 8 body-based ways to release it--without medication. 🧵
1. Walk barefoot on grass for 5–7 minutes.
Your feet contain ~200,000 nerve endings.
When they touch grass, soil, or sand, your brain receives a flood of sensory information from the body.
That sensory input pulls attention out of rumination and back into physical awareness.
Direct contact with the earth lowers cortisol and reduce stress-related inflammation markers.
That’s why barefoot walking can feel so regulating.

2. Use an acupressure ring and slowly massage your fingers.
The hands are rich in sensory receptors.
That repetitive input pulls attention out of racing thoughts and back into your body.
It's a neural network shift that's significant for lowering stress.

@MarcTouati @Vukuzman
II La détérioration des estimations faites sur la France résulte de la durée de la guerre et de ses conséquences sur infrastructures industrielles dans les pays du Golfe mais pas de la durée du blocage du Détroit d’Hormuz.
III Le pic de hausse de l’Indice des Prix à la Consommation devrait se situer entre décembre 2026 et mars 2027 et atteindre de 5,4% à 6,7%. Vu l’incertitude qui existe sur les possibilités de restauration de la production, nous n’avons pu prolonger les courbes.
AİHM ve BM Özel Raportörlerini Aynı Noktada Buluşturan Kollektif Cezalandırma Pratiği!
1⃣Yasak/Türkiye kararının görseldeki paragrafında yer alan "cezai sorumluluğun kolektif suçluluğa veya irtibat yoluyla suç ortaklığına (guilt by association) dayandırılamayacağı" ilkesi, BM Özel Raportörlerinin Türkiye'ye gönderdikleri mektuplar (iletişim) ve sundukları hukuki görüşlerle tam bir uyum içindedir. AİHM, bu kararıyla 15 Temmuz sonrası yargılamalarda bireysel kusur yerine genişletici yorumlarla uygulanan kolektif cezalandırma yöntemine karşı hukuki bir güvence sağlamış ve cezai sorumluluğun ancak sanığın suç işleme kastı ve somut eylemlerinin kişiselleştirilmesiyle mümkün olabileceğini tescil etmiştir. Bu yaklaşım, BM Özel Raportörü Ben Saul tarafından Yasak dosyasına sunulan 3. taraf görüşünde grup tabanlı suçlarda öngörülebilirlik ilkesinin ihlalinin kolektif cezalandırmaya yol açtığı tespitiyle desteklenmektedir.

2⃣ BM Özel Raportörleri tarafından gönderilen mektuplarda, Türkiye’nin terörle mücadele mevzuatının meşru eylemleri suç sayacak şekilde geniş yorumlanmasının "irtibat/bağlantı yoluyla suçluluk" teşkil ettiği açıkça belirtilmiştir. Ben Saul üçüncü taraf görüşünde, bir yapının "terör örgütü" olarak tanımlanması durumunda dahi, o yapı içindeki her bireyin otomatik olarak suçlanamayacağını vurgulamaktadır. Özel Raportöre göre, kişinin örgütün şiddet içeren amaçlarını bildiğinin ve bu amaçlara maddi bir katkı sağladığının somut delillerle ispatlanması şarttır; aksi takdirde yapılan yargılama "suçta ve cezada şahsilik" ilkesini ihlal ederek bireyi sadece bir topluluğun parçası olduğu varsayımıyla cezalandırmak anlamına gelir.

3⃣ BM Özel Raportörlerinin mektupları ile AİHM'in bu kararı arasındaki benzerlik, sadece teorik bir ihlal tespiti değil, aynı zamanda sistematik bir hak ihlali yapısına yönelik ortak bir vurgudur. BM metinlerinde, özellikle kadınların ve öğrencilerin aile bağları üzerinden "suçlu" ilan edilmesi, "cezai sorumluluğun kişiselleştirilmesi" zorunluluğuna aykırı bulunmuştur. AİHM'in Yasak kararıyla birlikte bu mektuplar, terör suçlamalarının somut delillerden ziyade aidiyet varsayımı üzerine inşa edilmesinin hukuk devleti ilkesini sakatladığını göstermektedir. Bu mektuplar ve yargı kararları, devletin ulusal güvenlik yetkisinin, bireyleri "bağlantılı olmak" gibi belirsiz kriterlerle toplu halde cezalandırma yetkisi vermediğini hatırlatan uluslararası hukukun ortak duruşunu yansıtmaktadır.
