This week is a betrayal of the longstanding friendly and mutually-beneficial relationship between our two countries. The damage is done, and cannot be undone.

To the USA,

Fuck you.

Today, on the 31st anniversary of the Budapest Memorandum with its useless security assurances, we are facing a repeat of history as EU leaders warn of the risk of a peace deal without strong US security guarantees.

Strength is the only true guarantor of peace for the EU.

Selling vehicles to authoritarian states so they can oppress their people harder. Fun.

Turns-out they needed something from us after-all? Sigh. I hate this timeline.

Putin: ‘Russia is ready to keep fighting until the last Ukrainian dies.’

Western politicians & press: ‘Peace talks have stalled…’

Russia has zero interest in peace. Calling Kremlin demands for Ukrainian surrender ‘peace talks’ is just another way of spreading their propaganda.

Impeachment isn’t an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent.

Impeach, convict, remove. And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo54...

Zelenskyy has huge pressure on him, and unbelievable responsibilities and decisions to make... but what he needs more than anything during this time, is the support of Europe and the UK. Steadfast and reliable. He needs to know that if he chooses the hard path, we have his back.

On one side of my family we have zero knowledge of our lineage before my grandpa. There was just nobody left to ask. He wasn’t even sure if his last name was real or made up. And there’s a story like this in almost every Ukrainian household.

Today is Holodomor Remembrance Day
🕯 Eternal memory to all victims of Holodomor. A moment of silence.

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

Gods, even the Americans that give me hope mess it up with the exceptionalism sometimes.

The US was never party to the Rome Statute. You can’t abdicate something you never had.
Yet another example of Trump shooting the US in the foot. Our abdication of moral leadership in international institutions like the UN, WHO, G20, and ICC only serves to allow our adversaries the opportunity to expand their influence on the world stage while we suffer.

Hilariously, Ezra Levant -- whose Rebel News literally crowdfunded for the Freedom Convoy that wanted to overthrow the federal government -- now demeans and denigrates Alberta teachers as wanting to "undermine the government."

You can't make this stuff up. You just can't.

"Amnesty International has strongly condemned Alberta's recent legislation targeting transgender youth, calling the measures "appalling" and a violation of constitutional rights."
