I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

The Breakdown's muzzling should concern all media open.substack.com/pub/theorcha...

This is a line from the Hobbit film, but still very much worth sharing as work inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien. #Booksky

Seems the UCP is taking a page out of the GOP’s playbook (in fact it seems they stole the whole playbook). Absolutely disgusting.

Lavrov: "Europe has no place in negotiations on Ukraine" When will the EU finally show some balls and give all the frozen Russian Central Bank assets to Kyiv? How long will the EU tolerate being humiliated by the Kremlin?

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

As some of you already know, The Breakdown announced tonight that they have to deactivate all their social media until the SLAPP suit against them is complete. How can you help The Breakdown? Here's a start. DONATE to help Nate fight this! www.gofundme.com/f/vggge-lega...

Fascist psychopath, Nazi, criminal gang, this is what true speakers say without being scared of Trump and his cronies. Charlie Angus have huge balls. Happy Canada Flag tomorrow and listen, very powerful. Charlie even calls Trump out on kissing Putlers ring. Amazing youtube.com/live/jYD0R_C...

Congratulations America! You have given the keys to a madman. Well guess what? We the People will resist the madness! #Resist

I 🍁 AM 🍁 CANADIAN 🍁 ….pass it on #NovaScotia

Reminder, Canadian scientists were muzzled under the Conservative Party led by Stephen Harper. Now, Harper is the chair of the International Democracy Union, an alliance of conservative parties which includes Trump's Republican Party. This is an international strategy. www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

Just saw this posted on FB and had to share.

The Resistance is strong! #Resist

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: So here’s how it’s going to go down—this is going to be very rough. But the big wake-up call is for our American friends. For example, Kentucky—the number one purchaser of Kentucky spirits in the world is Canada, and all our provinces have just pulled it off the shelves.

I’m from Saskatchewan and I stand in solidarity with Canada. 🇨🇦 #StrongerTogether

#NeverPierrePoilievre

Count me in for sure.

Sagan was a prophet.

Anyone else think we need to battle the alt wrong, book burning, puritanical, gawd fearing, clutch your pearls, hate anyone that doesn’t look like you group with a spirited dance number, a la @realkevinbacon.bsky.social? Just me?

Exactly

And there it is: Assad in Moscow. Maybe he can move in next to Yanukovych www.cnn.com/world/live-n...

I don’t take credit for this meme, but I do co-sign.

New CPC slogan? “Bootlicking for Billionaires” 🥾🤑 Honestly, it’s more accurate than their other ones. 💁‍♀️

It is well past time for some answers from the Conservative leader that amount to more than populist epigrams slavishly repeated by the bobble-head brigade he has made of his caucus. thetyee.ca/Analysis/202... #cdnpoli #peipoli

At last! A journalist challenging Poilievre's empty promises and simplistic proposals. Time for other journalists to start doing their jobs. You are not Poilievre's personal stenographers. Poilievre's Free Ride to Power Has to Stop via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

Today is the 7th consecutive day of active protests across Georgia against the current government. ▪️Protesters in Tbilisi clashed with police again last night. The authorities continued to use undue force against the crowd, including water cannons and tear gas grenades.

"We must do more than just keep Ukraine in the fight." - NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. During the press conference Rutte said that NATO countries "must provide enough support to change the trajectory of this conflict once and for all."

"Putin is fighting not to conquer Pokrovsk but to destroy Ukraine as a nation. He wants to show Russians that democratic aspirations are hopeless. He wants to prove that a whole host of international laws and norms, including the United Nations Charter and the Geneva conventions, no longer matter"
