Yes, it is extortion. But Zelenskyy has been through this before (the infamous «perfect phone call» www.factcheck.org/2019/10/trum...). This report (en.defence-ua.com/news/are_ukr...) on the story was shared by @jkoteen.bsky.social

I was reading about the Harper government regime and was surprised that INCO,Alcan,Viterra,Falconbridge and even Tim Horton's were sold off to foreign entities. No wonder Canadian productivity is low,the new owners couldn't care less about this country. Imagine 5 years of a Poilievre majority!

surrounded by circle upon circle of consternations and affrights

Pitter patter, Ontario. Only a few days left. Vote this scarecrow out. votewell.ca

Russkiy mir is a never-ending nightmare 🤬💔 #RussiaIsATerroristState

Read the room, Pierre.

DOGE has everyone's PPI. I imagine that the US's new FBI director is looking forward to using it. Good luck, and good night.

Nova Scotia premier Tim Houston (and leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Nova Scotia) "asserted that he respects the work of the auditor general while he essentially has threatened to fire her from her job"

Einsiedeln ist hübsch. Ein Besuch am kommenden Samstag kann ich empfehlen 😊

He was not afraid when a 64-kilometre-long military convoy was moving toward Kyiv, when the Russians were advancing tens of kilometres a day, and when there was no help from the West or other countries. Naive fools think that he will be afraid now.

I think this information @denisedwheeler.bsky.social gathered deserves more attention.

I have been pushing Elections Canada to take steps to protect our democracy from American/Musk interference. We have only to look at Germany to see how the Trump machine will undermine democracay to promote the far right. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Less than a week to go, Ontario. Get out there and vote!! votewell.ca

The LA Post writes that the victim, Rebecca Marodi, started as a volunteer firefighter in 1993 and was one of the firefighters fighting the Eaton fire in January.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

He has so many fooled! Please vote!

It’s basically this ⬇️, isn’t it.

Thank you, Doug. And thank you to the good people who built and maintain this service 💝

I very much think Sarah's on to something. Check out house bill 1484.

Trump's having the time of his life, cosplaying as a mob-boss emperor: renaming mountains and bodies of water, shaking down allies for their resources, dropping in on races and ball games. Meanwhile, those he's given power to take a chainsaw to the USA's institutions. It's planned, not coincidence.
