Credit where it's due: a good headline from the NYP addressing an important matter that needs repeating: russia always lies.

It’s been 8 days and we still don’t know the names of the men who murdered Alex Pretti. DHS must be abolished. No ICE. No palantir surveillance police state. There’s no “fixing” a sociopathic agency designed to trample on our freedoms.

When Ukrainians warned that Russia had the Western elite by the throat with kompromat, when we said that pro‑russian figures in the West was a pedophiles, the world scoffed. Well, what do you say now?

Horrific details have emerged about the russian drone strike on miners in the Dnipropetrovsk region. Sixteen people are now confirmed dead‼️ "The first Shahed drone hit near the bus: the driver lost control from the blast wave, and the vehicle crashed into a fence.

The notion that the US would bring "freedom" to Cuba is actually obscene. The US effectively controlled Cuba for half a century before the revolution, and ran it as a dictatorship characterised by gangsterism, political repression, sex tourism, racial hierarchy and mass poverty.

Donald Trump wasn’t lying when he said he could get away with shooting someone in the street in broad daylight. He just forgot to specify if it would be murder for hire.

PRESIDENT OF CUBA 🇨🇺: “An act of state terrorism… the object of imperialist desire is Venezuelan oil… down with imperialism!” PRESIDENT OF COLOMBIA 🇨🇴: “To keep the Epstein list from coming out (Trump) kills fishermen… this invasion is about oil, driven by greed & violence.”

Anyone have a sense of why Trump isn’t so outraged that Putin would invade Ukraine? Look out, Taiwan.

This is Anastasiia and her 3‑year‑old son Maksym. They were murdered by a Russian missile strike on Kharkiv on January 2

Watching Trump speak and justify why the US is entitled to invade another country and kidnap the president makes me think that when we started talking about the “post-truth” era, we had no idea of how deeply post-truth it’d become. Perception of reality is now random and optional.

Rep. Seth Moulton: "This is insane. What the hell are we doing? ... this is illegal."

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities. Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

You have to hand it to the generals. Unlike so many other people in this country, they know how to conduct themselves in public. They know they are supposed to be apolitical. So they greeted Trump's political speech with silence. And you could have heard a medal drop when Pete Hegseth finished.

Mark Mackinnon has a story in the G+M today regarding Russian dissidents/ asylum seekers being deported by the U.S. back to Russia- to a predictable end. They are asking Canada to hear their claims and possibly accept them here. We should.

Two stories today in The Guardian; one detailing the abuse and harassment women endure for simply running in public, and, two, a story of attacks on women’s rights in Argentina. These stories highlight a global assault on women’s rights. Women are the most targeted ‘minority’ in the world today.

Public pressure has forced Israel to open corridors for supply trucks. How much confidence can we have that they will actually follow thru on this? Certainly recent history does not inspire confidence.

Tomorrow is a big day in European sports-no not the Belgian Grand Prix. Spain takes on England in Euro football Championship. When you think of how far womens football has come in a few short years-especially Spain-it is amazing. So despite my English heritage, I will be cheering for the Spanis

PM Carney says cuts must be made in other areas to fund a 5% defence budget. This 5% number is coming from the US, which isn’t currently spending 5%, and particularly from Pres Trump. I am very reluctant to accept matching orders from this President-especially when it means cuts to social programs.

At the St Petersburg Economic Forum-attended by few of consequence but providing Putin a bully pulpit, he has declared that Ukraine is Russia’s. So I am trying to understand how anyone (Trump), can possibly believe there is avenue for negotiations? NATO meets next week-it must reinforce Ukraine.

@kateinkharkiv.bsky.social Your situation is getting more dangerous by the day-be as careful as you can in a war zone. I appreciate your work.

@ianhanomansing.bsky.social Regarding the pushback over the question for Cross Country Checkup. While you can disagree with the question, personal attacks are unacceptable and reflect poorly on the poster. CCC is my background while preparing the Sunday meal-keep up the good work.

Trump is not even in power we are already spinning our wheels on how to respond to him. I have no answers to this, but I am sure that Canada cannot respond effectively if the next Parliament is as dysfunctional as the last. Can I trust Poilievre to make the transition from pit bull to statesman?

I joined Bluesky to get away from Twitter and all that came with it. First day, Elon musk requests to follow me or at least a Musk bot does. Next I get the same requests to follow from women (again bots). I hoped Bluesky would be different but first impressions aren’t good
