Good morning. I'm here at a protest in Kyiv, against the adoption of a new civil code. Protestors say that the code, drafted under wartime conditions without public participation, violates both basic human rights and threatens Ukraine's euro integration reforms.

The reason it is good for public bodies to fly the Ukrainian flag is because it is good to support Ukraine and the tiny minority of UK citizens who do not agree with it are bad people whose opinion does not matter.

New rule: Five generations after World War Two, while we sit here picking our noses and waiting for a savior as fascism descends over the land, we don’t get to pretend that “WE” did those things back then. They did them. That country is long gone. This one rapes kids and puts the rapist in charge.

Trump has heard people smarter than himself say “eloquently”, which is why he says “elegantly” here. I bet he even says “case and point”.

The quoted screenshots are a great example of what I meant when I said the left has a problem where some adherents will follow their principles with conviction to ridiculous positions.

One for the block lists.

Elbows up is great and all, and I've long been an advocate of dumping the bucket and dropping the gloves. But what we're missing are the facewashing, cup checks and other constant frictions that wear people down.

the fundamental job of journalism is to report facts & uphold public trust, which is rapidly eroding. brushing off the careless use of AI to spread misinformation shows why that is. this kind of conduct needs to be treated as a serious violation & called out as absolutely unacceptable.

NYT reporting on Canada has been shit for years. Now it’s purely invented.

I mean, this just seems like good governance. Honestly I’m surprised it wasn’t in the Magna Carta.

just to emphasize again, closing Malacca means 'taking a couple of extra days on a trip.' the economist had a great recent graph on various straits and their relative levels of direness.

I’m struggling to think of a bigger scandal in Canadian history than ‘governing provincial party possibly gives over names and addresses of every single resident in province to separatist group for the purposes of helping them separate’

Yeah “GWOT vet who joined up because it was an opportunity to kill Muslims, continued endorsing such in as many words right up until running for public office made it unpalatable, and now claims to be a dyed-in-the-wool anti-war progressive” is very much a known Type Of Guy (gender-neutral)

Another former ambassador, Marie Yovanovitch, was being surveilled by Trump and Republican affiliated operatives in 2019 who discussed having her murdered. www.npr.org/2020/01/15/7...

“Podcasts are not a Christian way of life.”

NAFO are officially cyber terrorist hackers according to Russia

This might not be Trump, but it’s definitely worth taking a close look at.

idk have you met some potters

Just beautiful, Edmonton 🇨🇦

Yikes.

Donald so far down the Putin road the next stop is having the FBI blow some apartment blocks.

I don’t want to sound like I’m criticizing our southern neighbours *that are on this website*. But I keep hearing from normies IRL that I know that they don’t like Trump’s threats of military conquest of US allies. I just think they *should* dislike it enough to rip the bastard out of office.

Based RCMP.

Welcome to DARK CANADA, we have -things you don't say if you plan to enter the US during peacetime -justified russophobia -attempts to incite anti-MAGgot pogroms -Free World supremacy -non sequiturs about the game ARK: Survival Evolved/Ascended -mid reply guy activity -occasional Stancil apologia

If Trump insists on bringing indicted war criminal Vladimir Putin to the G20, Canada *must* stay away and must encourage others to do so as well.

It’s infuriating to hear Danielle Smith say she needs to gerrymander Alberta to “protect rural representation” when residents in the two major cities are underrepresented provincially by about 10-25% already, depending on which population statistics you draw from to do the math.

A great Bluesky feature would be to tell you when someone has followed you from a list. I sometimes get waves of follows with no concurrent post likes. I figure it's probably people following lists that have just been linked or bumped, but mostly because I don't see why bots would be so obvious.

Wow I had no idea that Tucker Carlson has a brother Buckley that looks like Tucker somehow mated with Rumpelstiltskin. It's difficult to convey in a still image, but here's a screenshot.

Once they do this, the gloves are off. They don’t have to even pretend to care what the cities think after this. It’s full Qanon fever swamp time after this is done.

Canadian doctors obeying a U.S. executive order that doesn’t even apply to Canada is deeply offensive to both trans people and to Canadian legal sovereignty.

Some great AI Lego videos from 🇮🇷 ridiculing Trump Iran is still bloodthirsty regime oppressing their own people. But what they're saying about Trump and US in these video are not totally wrong. Both can be true at the same time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4Of... @meidastouch.com

This. He’s removing the glue that has kept us afloat and dominant for almost a hundred years. Nothing that’s happening makes team USA stronger in the short term or long term. This is pure and utter sabotage, something out of Xi’s and Putin’s dreams.

Thanks Trump.

The coalition against ICE in Minnesota is a big tent. Liberals, conservatives, socialists, libertarians, and those who desire to just grill and be left alone. It helped that this protest had no leader. But just posting a graphic online is enough to get the city on the streets when you have momentum.

SLAY ORCS AND SAVE GORRILLA

we don’t want to reconcile with MAGAs: we want to watch them writhe and piss themselves in terror before the lash of righteousness

I wonder if repeatedly using negotiations to gain surprise on an attack you were planning the whole time makes it easier to reach future settlements…

It's difficult to separate the effects on the front line in Ukraine of the Starlink whitelisting and Telegram throttling (and the apparent new mass FPV strike as rolling barrage tactic), but some amount of recent UA success is due to the Telegram crackdown. 1/2

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

I guess Ukrainian strikes on russian export terminals really are outpacing the increased oil prices.

Trump just posted a graphic video of a woman being beaten to death by an alleged immigrant. You don’t need to seek it out. There are many who can verify that it’s what he posted without you seeing something you can’t unsee. If you’d instead like to read about vicarious trauma: h/t @bellingcat.com

Some of you are even following it. h/t: @vagrantjourno.bsky.social (screenshotted because I too block Nazis)
