Proud of my Icelandic Canadian heritage, dedicated to a life of helping others as an RN for 33 years and counting, happily living with 7 cats, 7 fish and one very large adorable Pig. A blue dot in a red county but trying to do my part to save democracy.

If still debating whether Donald Trump or Elon Musk willfully crippled Ukraine's missile defense, helping to slay innocent civilians, you are a rube. If the U.S. President had no role, then an oligarch governs national security. If not, the U.S. President serves Russia. Both answers are mortifying.

I get so frustrated trying to express myself. Ranting isn’t easy while typing. I am outraged at the US foreign policy allowing Ukraine to be subjected to an attack by the US. Literally, by diminishing the starshield access, it is treasonous.

Watched ‘The Bernie Effect’ on @MSNOW and have totally found a new respect and almost vision for the ‘democratic socialist’ movement. It is not any of the labels people are putting on it. It is just a basic human society right? Just look after the citizens of your society for fsakes.

6/ Zelenskyy's response: "It's important that everyone in America sees what is really happening."

At what point can we start calling this blatant siding with the enemy a treasonous act??

Tim White@twmcltd.bsky.social

1/ Here is the document which shows the latest act in a now growing list of pro-Russia, and anti-US moves by Trump. Make no mistake, Presidementia sneaked out this "Executive Order" very late on a Friday night in the US to avoid media coverage.

If you had 10 songs to play at your memorial/wake/ funeral, what would they be? An interesting mind distraction tonight from the news of the world. Haha. Yah still dark I know but just go along eh?

Fund Ukraines drones and factories now, or fund your own mobilization later. Kyiv is offering the cheap version of Europes defense. Take it.

There has got to he options out there to save these people?? And to hear recently trump is inviting putin to the G20 legitimizing these actions? Incomprehensible.

Incredible: another Ukrainian famine is unfolding, this time in Russian-occupied Oleshky. The remaining inhabitants of what used to be a thriving small city, now down to about 6000 people, are blockaded by Russian forces and cut off from food and water. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I am thinking @msnowcomms.bsky.social MS NOW is getting a ton of free publicity with the ridiculous ‘ban’ trump is blabbering about. Got to be alot of people that haven’t even heard of it now checking it out to see who he is mad at. Even CBC article on it this morning.

Yah, this. I recently had a meltdown about my gambling addiction and am now staying home and resisting the demon and doing this. Already feeling more powerful….

So I just watched the new MSNOW show Lovett or Leave it. I am a difficult person to engage for a full show of anything but wow, what a great format, great guests, great humour an great honesty! Also have to say I loved seeing Katie Porter being real! Way to go MSNOW you are kicking ass!

Zelenskyy: The first drone deal with a country in the Americas will be with Canada. We looked at the drones that will be used under this agreement. Canada is ready to place large orders, and 30% of production will be transferred to Ukraine. Thank you, Canada, for a true partnership.

I had not been on facebook for several years. I gave it up because I couldnt stand the craziness of people I once knew as good people. Tonight, scrolling because I am restlessly trying to escape a gambling habit, I realize how crazy social media is beyond the safety of bluesky. Am I in a bubble?

Awful. Wish they would show these kinds of videos to the pro russian people in government. Do they choose not to know or do they know and just not care? Thanks @Kate from Kharkiv for keeping those of who do care informed.

Kate from Kharkiv@kateinkharkiv.bsky.social

First Person View drones for sport, fun, and target practice. This is unspeakable, monstrous crime against basic humanity, and it continues unpunished, virtually ignored by the world for years.

Can’t help but just love and admire these people.

Russia has tried to take Ukraine's independence away by force for years. It has failed. Ukraine is still here. Still free. Still fighting.

In the coming days, we will release the details of these new tariff measures, which will come into force the Tuesday after Labour Day.

Canada will match the U.S.’ new tariffs dollar for dollar in order to protect Canadian workers, farmers, families, and businesses. We take this step confident that it is in the best interests of Canada.

Late last evening I instructed our negotiators to return to Ottawa. We cannot accept what the U.S. has offered, and we will not give what they have asked.

For over a year, Canada has worked intensively and in good faith with the United States to negotiate a new comprehensive trade deal. We have been pragmatic, patient, and persistent. Our goal has always been to get the best deal for Canadians, never a deal at any price or on any time frame.

Go Canada 🇨🇦

Canada has officially started building the wall at the U.S. border🇨🇦😂 Budget: a few trees Construction crew: 1 beaver 🦫 Payment: maple syrup 🍁 Sorry for the inconvenience, eh? 😂 #Canada #CanadianHumour #SheShed

I had enjoyed the previous two seasons of ‘Lioness’, but watching tonight on S3 episode 2 ( I think), it was queried ‘why are we fighting this war when it doesnt mean anything to us’. Like it was Vietnam, or Iraq or now Iran. Not sure I can watch any more of that. WTF Sheridan?

So simple. So true

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”

I just sent this out to Democracy Docket premium members, but in light of the Postmasters comments this morning threatening voting by mail, I felt it is urgent to post it online for everyone. Please read and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/mail...

Having been a nurse for 3 decades, much of which has been spent caring for people that have been living with various types of dementia, it is so obvious to me that trump is, at the very least, in the early to mid stages of his illness. Same repetitions, same remembrances, same confabulations.
