I am Canadian and live in downtown Toronto. I like dogs, cycling, hiking, canoeing, eating good food like pizza, pho, pad Thai, dumplings, and burgers etc. I try to be kind. Slava Ukraini!

1/ Mobilised Russian soldiers serving on temporary contracts are being threatened en masse with execution if they do not sign contracts, making them permanent soldiers and ineligible for post-war demobilisation. Russian warbloggers are forcefully condemning this practice. ⬇️

‼️ This is important.

Russia and its propaganda machine targeting the Global South seek to build a cheap & inexhaustible reserve of expendable soldiers.

Many impoverished people, poisoned&deceived by Kremlin propaganda and anti-Western rhetoric,head to the war in Ukraine in hopes of earning money‡️

The European Commission banned issuing multi-entry Schengen visas to Russian citizens, requiring them to apply for a new single-entry visa each time they plan to travel to the EU. This will allow enhanced screening of Russian applicants and reduce potential security risks for Europeans.

Recognize a state of war to exist due to armed aggression by the Russian Federation.

Declare the Russian Federation to be a terrorist state. Declare the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to be a terrorist organization.

Ban visas to denizens of the russian terrorist state.

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

I will never stop translating these videos. My heart breaks over what these elderly people have gone through and are still going through because of Russia.

Liudmyla’s story is just one of hundreds of thousands. That’s how many internally displaced people are now living in the Sumy region‡️

Last night saw a democratic sweep in the US.
To me, it was a great relief that the opposition is still allowed to win in the US.
Will that be the case also in the mid-term elections in November 2026?
I don't know, but the election yesterday gave me new hope.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year β€” over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M β€” 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

From MeidasTouch Legal AF: The Convicted FElon DOJ is now deleting court documents on J6 terrorists who have been in trouble with law repeatedly. The DOJ was caught when a judge noticed a document missing on a J6'er, who wanted to bomb Obama's home & was convicted for it. I bet these are ICE now.

Powerful and moving interview with Virginia Giuffre's brother Sky and sister-in-law Amanda:

"He's just Andrew. He's no longer a prince... This normal girl, from a normal family, has taken down a prince. We are so proud of her."

"She was extraordinary. She did the extraordinary."
