I feared this day would come:
Trump puts human rights organisations on sanctions list and forces YouTube to delete their accounts, thereby erasing 700 videos documenting Israeli war crimes.
As a political commentator on YouTube, this news is profoundly troubling for me. And yes, I clearly need a plan B.

@randahl then the question is, do we have an #European version of #youtube that won't bend for #dictators will?
The Alberta #UCP has just blown up a century of labour action and worker’s rights hard won against coercive and exploitative employers. They - the employer - have just unilaterally imposed a contract on teachers in clear contravention of their constitutional and Charter rights, and have invoked the “notwithstanding” clause to shield themselves from legal consequences.
A summary of the act:
Here are the 20 key takeaways from Alberta’s 2025 Back to School Act (Bill 2) — the highlights that matter most for understanding what this law does:
• Ends the Alberta teachers’ strike that began Oct 6, 2025, and the lockout by TEBA that began Oct 9, 2025.
• Forces all teachers back to work immediately — strike must end at once.
• Forces TEBA and school boards to end any lockout immediately.
• Makes it illegal to strike or lock out at all going forward for the duration of the Act.
• Imposes a mandatory collective agreement — teachers do not get to vote on ratification.
• The agreement is retroactive to Sept 1, 2024 and will run until Aug 31, 2028.
• The terms are taken from the recommended bargaining proposal signed Sept 23, 2025.
• The Act applies to all Alberta teachers, school boards, the ATA, and TEBA.
• The Act overrides the Canadian Charter (sections 2 & 7–15), the Alberta Bill of Rights, and the AB Human Rights Act via notwithstanding clause.
• It explicitly blocks any court or tribunal from challenging its constitutionality. Judges and arbitrators are not allowed to even look at it.
• Anyone violating the strike/lockout ban faces fines up to $500 (individuals) or $500,000 (organizations) per day.
• The Labour Relations Board is given full enforcement power to police and punish.
• No one can sue the government or seek damages of any kind for anything done under this Act — past, present or future.
• Teachers’ salary grids will get 3% increases in 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027
• Substitute teachers’ daily rate rises to $271/day Sept 1 2025, then increases further in later years.
• 1000 new teachers per year will be hired province-wide in 2025–26, 2026–27, and 2027–28 to address classroom complexity.
• Northern & remote allowances are created — up to $6,300 per year depending on school location.
• Government also commits to hiring 1500 new Educational Assistants by Aug 31 2028.
• Teachers retain access to COVID-19 vaccinations at no cost, facilitated by the government.
• The entire Act automatically repeals on Aug 31 2028, unless ended earlier by the government
[the repeal is notably *after* the next scheduled election… we need to make sure this government doesn’t make it that far

That one person can drag us into a war without
consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or
fully explaining to the American people why this is
necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that
Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the
hell are they?
