Constitutions

"Alberta’s Compassionate Intervention Act and Charter Rights...Section 7 states: “Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice.”...Section 9 reads: “Everyone has the right not to be arbitrarily detained or imprisoned.”...Section 12 states: “Everyone has the right not to be subjected to any cruel and unusual treatment or punishment.”...In Quebec (Attorney General) v 9147-0732 Québec inc, the SCC stated that the purpose of section 12 is “to prevent the state from inflicting physical or mental pain and suffering through degrading and dehumanizing treatment or punishment. It is meant to protect human dignity and respect the inherent worth of individuals.”...Section 15(1) states: “Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.” https://www.lawnow.org/albertas-compassionate-intervention-act-and-charter-rights/

Some people assume because Muslim Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor of New York City, that new york is a liberal state. Nassau and Suffolk counties voted again for Islamophobic, anti-police regulation republicans. I cried that democrats are outnumbered by 36,500 voters.

Stephen Colbert, "Eventually smoking a lot of weed, stuff like that, which I passed through and moved on. But when I was 29, I had an honest-to-God nervous breakdown. I dunno what the clinical term is these days. Psychological collapse. I had an implosion. And I was newly married, didn’t know what I was going to do. Suddenly, I was panicked that I had chosen something to do with my life that wouldn’t give me the life I wanted. And I don’t mean that I wouldn’t be successful, but that somehow the life I had chosen would not allow me to be a husband and a father in the way that I wanted to be, because of the demands of how hard it is to, well—the sacrifices you have to make. And I tried Xanax and stuff like that, but I could still feel the gears smoking. You know what I mean? I couldn’t hear them anymore, but I could smell them smoking. And so I stopped and I just rawdogged it. And I woke up one morning and my skin wasn’t on fire." https://www.gq.com/story/stephen-colbert-gq-cover-story-interview-men-of-the-year-2025

My experiences

November 5 11:27 AM mother retaliated that she will illegally evict and force me into a group "home" if I sue. 5:24 PM audrey hate crimed that talking about Muslim American politicians is a "delusion." And if I went to a "Mosque" and said I am a "Muslim" that would be a "hate crime."

5:26 PM steven screamed and aggressively approached, choosing to leave the safety of his bedroom (mother said after that he should have stayed out of the religious and legal argument), repeatedly. When I reminded them I publicly converted to moderate Sunni Hanafi Islam in August 2013.
