Premier Susan Holt on the N.B. government's decision to abandon X: "We've just seen that it used to be a forum for more dialogue and we used to see better engagement and back and forth with New Brunswickers on the platform. But that doesn't seem to be the case anymore."

I think Twitter should be banned in Canada outright! The fact the platform was being used to create child abuse material with Grok should have been enough already.

Russia killed more civilians in 2025 than any year since the full-scale invasion — all under Trump's "peace process."

Deaths up 31% from 2024. 147 drones per night. Both rounds of Abu Dhabi talks accompanied by massive strikes on civilian infrastructure.

Russia continues to answer diplomacy with missiles.
We are determined to make that choice painfully expensive.

Today, we present our 20th sanctions package.

Sanctions severely hurt Russia’s economy.
And every sanction chips away at its capacity for war. (1/9)

The US is traumatizing thousands of kids in detention camps. But we are also traumatizing *millions* of kids who are in hiding or fear their parents being snatched.

Like how we have tens of thousands of kids who have survived school shootings, and a whole generation shaped by active shooter drills.
