A collage of world leaders' expressions of support for #Ukraine, as collected by Brian Tylor Cohen just hours after Trump and Vance's bully-boy session in the White House with Zelenskyy. America's isolation grows by the hour. #SlavaUkraini

For me, the Canadian boycott of U.S. products and services tomorrow, Feb. 28, includes social media. I think I'll gather up all the time I would have spent here and elsewhere online and go for an extra long walk. See you on the other side. #Canada #BoycottUSA #BuyCanadian

Lol. Donald Trump has cost Canada’s Conservative Party 26 points in just 6 weeks.

Show me your papers. “DeSantis has suggested the new powers will be used to ‘interrogate’ and ‘detain’ people for suspected immigration violations after being pulled over for traffic stops.” Currently, nearly half of those being detained have no criminal record. This will rise. #ICE

These are songs of revolution and resistance. "One Day More" comes at the end of the first act. Shit gets real in the second act. I also enjoy the fact that, by the end, the ballroom guests are surrounded. #theatre #resist

It’s been wild to see so many headlines about the firings at the Joint Chiefs of Staff and none of them explicitly saying “Trump fired the one Black person and the one woman so he could have an all white male Joint Chiefs”

Haha, this is a great idea. Also possibly disastrous, but I still like it. Tod has invited Americans who support Canada to visit Nanaimo. Hey, come on over to Gabriola while you're here. Just make sure you have someplace to stay if you want to stay overnight. (Same in Nanaimo!)

I have been sharing a lot of alarming information about the worsening situation in the U.S., but as alarm can result in fear, and fear can lead to paralysis, I’d like to also offer an antidote to that -- thoughts on some things we can do, especially as Canadians. - Take part in 1/8 #canada

DOGE having access to Americans' Social Security data isn't just a major security breach. It's part of a deliberate ploy to cut benefits — using the false pretext of "waste and fraud" — and have Congress use the savings to give billionaires another giant tax cut. Be warned.

Here’s Trump’s deputy chief of staff, after his meeting with the premiers today, making it clear that annexing Canada is still very much on the table. Trump is not spitballing and what’s more notable is that not only is nobody walking it back, they’re very actively unwalking it back.
