I can think of one very good bargaining chip, though they are likely not yet desperate enough to recognize it: End military support of Israel, which started this disaster in the first place. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

substack.com/@susiebright... Yes, I can tell you what Byron Noem’s kink is, and it’s not the euphemisms of the Daily Mail!

i did not make this up. this is an actual screenshot, from right now.

The Unmasked Prince of Peace The Tsar before the judgment seat of his victims. T.T. Heine, Simplicissimus 1904

I am glad these guys weren't killed; and yes, Israel is committing war crimes. Still annoying that Russia's propaganda mill is treated like real media here. They aren't. www.standard.co.uk/news/world/b...

Four premiers who have already shown they don't give a damn about the rule of law. This is nothing but creeping Trumpism. The federal government is right to shut this shit down. www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/national/fra...

Good morning, BlueSky

20 years ago today, Jack Dorsey posted the first tweet. A lot has happened since then, and Twitter isn't really Twitter anymore, literally and figuratively. That's why we created an archive to preserve the funniest, weirdest, and most memorable tweets in the site's tumultuous history.

The tune? The Washington Post March by JP Sousa... in honour of the now disgraced newspaper.

If you are an American woman living in a Red state and need and abortion, here is information for you. List of abortion clinics in Canada where an American woman can get an abortion. www.arcc-cdac.ca/media/2020/0...

SEN. KAINE: “You said American whites are victims of a cultural genocide… are they represented in the senate? House? Presidency? CEO’s?” Trump’s white nationalist pick for a top state department spot Jeremy Carl skewered by @kaine.senate.gov

After the Russian authorities restrict access to popular messaging app Telegram, one Russian MP calls the measure ’Defence of the information frontline…one of the components of the battle between Russia and Nato.’ The restrictions are widely reported in today’s Russian papers. #ReadingRussia

No surprise. Just like him, none of the members in Smith's governing party caucus will make a public declaration about where they stand on separation. calgaryherald.com/news/politic...

Astonishing for a number of reasons, in particular Putin's arrogance about "standing in line" for NATO membership, and his stated position about Ukraine sovereignty.

I’m back with another Reading Russia Weekend Extra. In this edition: what the Russian papers have been saying about the talks in Abu Dhabi and the Olympics in Milan-Cortina, plus memories of a Nato chief visiting Moscow 25 years ago. #ReadingRussia

American friends take note. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

CBC National News included a mention of Trump's Vietnam deferment (and his similar attacks on U.S. soldiers) in their coverage of his latest troll.

Conservatives would rather roll over than fight for our nation. Voters with the separatist Bloc Quebecois will stand with Canada. I saw this on my parliamentary trips to Europe and NATO. None of Poilievre's MPs bothered to show up. Bloc MPs came and worked with us to advance a strong Canada agenda.

“Order prevails in Berlin!” You foolish lackeys! Your “order” is built on sand. Tomorrow the revolution will “rise up again, clashing its weapons,” and to your horror it will proclaim with trumpets blazing: I was, I am, I shall be! Rosa Luxemburg Murdered Jan 15 1919

Just remembering how Harper was able to appoint the majority of the court (and tried all kinds of shenanigans like smearing the chief justice and nominating an illegitimate nominee) and they still declared his unconstitutional actions unconstitutional.

Not that it makes it any less monstrous, but no it is not a Nazi slogan, and it doesn't come from the Spanish Civil War either. It came straight from Trump's White House. There is enough misinformation being passed around. Don't contribute to it. Check before you post.

The Americans can take a few pointers from Canada and Denmark on how to fight a war: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisky_...

No surprise that these black magic gangsters are sucking their way into his circle.

Can't even manage a coverup properly.

I asked Vladimir Putin: “What future are you planning, are you building for your country?” Here’s his full reply.

Oh... so this is why Trump is going to shut the door to Canadian potash (currently 80 percent of what they use): www.cbc.ca/news/world/b...

Nota Bene Americans...

And this was before the shit really hit the fan: www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_4U...

"If you buy those Swedish jets we will crush you." Same guy who is losing his mind over a TV ad he claims is foreign interference in his government.

If you are too far out there for Elon Musk, perhaps it is a sign you have lost it. X just disabled Hebrew translation because of the number of content violations. So they aren't getting rid of the hate speech, they are just not letting the rest of the world see it easily.

Jason Stanley isn’t afraid to use the F-word when talking about President Donald Trump. The author of How Fascism Works and Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future is clear: He believes the US is currently under an authoritarian regime led by a fascist leader.

Nah. He's just worm food. But we can dream.

I like some things about Ken Burns, but what a fucking stupid thing to say... in a number of ways. Of course there are Americans who lap this exceptionalist nonsense up: www.cbsnews.com/news/ken-bur...

She should treat the Grand Nagus with more respect.

Oh. My. Someone has offended the snowflakes. The only thing he could have done better than he did IMO would have been to sing the final words of the (far superior) French lyrics - the charge to defend our homes and our freedoms. ca.news.yahoo.com/world-series...
