In a world challenged by crises, the EU and Latin American & Caribbean States are creating space for cooperation. Today, 60 countries, representing a third of the UN, choose dialogue to advance trade, multilateralism, and opportunities.

Trust actions. Do they back up the words?

Russia's disinformation campaign continues, and having expanded onto Truth Social with Charlie Kirk's death, they're now making content for Truth Social that's all Charlie Kirk related, and pushes buttons related to the LGBTQ+ community, and Ukrainian refugees.

My Aussie friends you really need to lobby @thebetootaadvocate.bsky.social to start posting on Bluesky again. Some of their stories. Wow. 😂

The holidays are coming and groceries continue to go up. Tariffs are still in place. It’s ok to NOT sign back up for paid streaming services. It’s ok to note who advertises where, who wants to consolidate and who wants to control what you see and hear. edition.cnn.com/2025/09/22/e...

Come up with your own brain worms if you’re so good at leading 😂

I just think it’s lazy when other countries adopt the thought terminating cliches used in the US. It’s a lack of creativity which leads me to believe they can’t problem solve.

Pay attention to framing. Since media outlets are verbatim repeating Pete Hoekstra’s recent words and framing on the saying “Elbows Up” here’s what it actually stands for. Being pro Canadian and on defence is not being anti American. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
