Hopefully Canada's next Prime Minister, after the Liberal Party leadership race ends Mar 9. 👇 I think Mark Carney would not only be a superb PM, but could restore the Liberals' popularity by the election this fall, win it, and keep the odious Poilievre and the Cons out of power. #StandWithUkraine

Thank you, Borys, for introducing me to your community. (1/4)

We're going to lose Canada and Mexico and Europe very, very soon if Trump and Vance aren't careful after this Zelensky disaster. I don't expect they will be careful. We're about to be on a geopolitical island in the middle of North America.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

“He’s gotta stop the fighting” — Trump on Zelenskyy (note how he never makes this demand of Putin, the aggressor)

Canada isn’t known for making a fuss, with niceness essentially part of its national brand. But President Trump's threats to impose 25% tariffs on Canadian exports and to annex the country have set off cascades of fury, leading many Canadians to shun American products and abandon trips to the U.S.

Today was a grim, terrible day for the United States and the cause of democracy. Putin, along with other dictators around the world, can finally look at Trump with confidence and think: one of us. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The White House says the FBI has given President Donald Trump boxes stemming from a search of his Florida property for classified documents that were taken after Trump left office during his first term.

I stand with the people fighting to help Ukraine. I oppose the Trump/Putin gangster regimes. Canada has a malignant threat on our border while the front line in Ukraine is being hammered. This is an all hands on deck moment for our nation and the world.

I’m sorry, but repeating this framing without skepticism is collaborating with your source to mislead your readers. They have been working on humiliating Zelensky and catering to Putin since long before the inauguration. Nothing about this is a response; it’s the plan of an abuser and a charlatan.

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

Wha-what!!!???!!! therecord.media/hegseth-orde...

The guy who asked Zelensky if he owned a suit, Brian Glenn, is a reporter for the pro-Trump media network Real America’s Voice and also Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend. He got one of the rare Oval Office interviewer spots only after the White House blocked the Associated Press.

Today's abomination in the Oval by Putin Puppets Trump and Vance was the most disgraceful, atrocious conduct by a POTUS that I've seen since Trump sided with Putin against our intelligence community in Helsinki in 2018. What stunning belligerence, hostility and disrespect by Trump and Vance ... 1/

NEW: Voice of America is in upheaval. Journalists are facing HR investigations for comments critical of Trump. One of VOA's highest-profile journalists was put on leave today after a Trump aide called him a traitor. And the White House bureau chief was reassigned. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/b...

Hi all, time I started posting here. :) I joined Bluesky awhile back but wasn't ready to post yet, still grieving my loving Mom who died in Aug. It's why I took a break from Twitter, too. The water's warm here, so will dip my toes in. Thank you to everyone who's followed me, will follow back asap.

Mark Kelly points out how Trump, in trying to look tough, is doing Putin’s bidding

Kelly: “Our European allies are looking at this and thinking, what just happened? What happened to the United States of America that used to be the leader of the free world?”

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

Vance blew up that meeting on purpose

The idea that JD Vance—who has never been to Ukaine and chalks up his knowledge to shit he read on the internet—believes he knows more about the situation in Ukraine than the man who has led it for the past 5.5 years is a perfect encapsulation of the havoc this administration is wreaking worldwide

There it is! "Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt." He is referring to them weathering their collusion becoming public, and now is the big payback: together until the end.

This was a disgusting display by the soft, uninformed VP Vance trying to school Zelensky, the man who has led his country through the most surprisingly resilient and effective fight for sovereignty against a global superpower. Every negative stereotype about America is confirmed in this exchange.

Mafia bosses everywhere are proud.
