The only thing Russia has “earned” here is sanction, disrepute, and ruin. Let’s give it those instead.

Just evil incompetence. Nothing will be given by Ukraine and the US does not get to decide for them. Russia has “earned” only sanctions and ruin. Let’s give it those instead.

Are Americans aware that down here in Mexico we’ve been getting bombarded for months with ads of Kristi Noem telling us to our face that we’re out welcome in the US, and that these ads even found their way into our national TV broadcasts

Because I feel like I have seen nobody mention it

The smallest acts may have oversized effects on someone's life. Over time, everyone will accumulate countless harsh words, hurtful experiences... but also small kindnesses, moments of support and inspiration. Live honorably, and fill the lives of those around you with the latter.

OTD in 1975 USSR signed Helsinki Accords promising to respect borders & let countries join what orgs like they want.

As we, the self declared successor state, have *always* followed this, you can trust over a peace deal with Ukraine now.

Let's just summarize some concerns raised in the previous AHS CEOs legal statement:

More thoughts to come, but to catch up a 🧵

We needed expert guidance on this one?

Do not live in constant fear of being wrong. Don't berate yourself for erring. You may regret past mistakes, but a true warrior knows that if you learn from them you may one day be grateful that you made them.

Higher Than Usual Number of Candidates on Ballot in Battle River–Crowfoot By-election News Release GATINEAU, Monday, July 28, 2025 As a result of the high number of candidates in Battle River–Crowfoot (Alberta), electors voting at advance or election day polls will vote using an adapted ballot. The adapted ballot will feature a blank space where electors can write the name of their preferred candidate. This will replace the typical list-style ballot, on which electors mark a blank circle next to the name of the candidate of their choice. For their vote to be counted, electors must write the name of their candidate of choice. As long as the elector's intention is clear, their vote will be counted, even if they misspell the candidate's name. Along with the candidate's name, electors can also write the name of the candidate's political party. But if the elector writes only the party's name, their ballot cannot be counted—it must have the name of the elector's preferred candidate. The list of candidates will be available at every voting table so that electors can find the name of their candidate of choice. The adapted write-in ballot will feature the same security and integrity measures found on a typical ballot. Elections Canada is aware that the changes to the ballot may reduce its accessibility for some electors. All regular accessibility tools will still be available, but some of them, such as the braille list of candidates and adapted braille voting template, will only be available on election day (Monday, August 18). Anyone who has concerns can contact the Elections Canada office in Battle River–Crowfoot to find out what options and accessibility supports are available to them. Electors who need support when voting are welcome to bring a friend, family member or caregiver to assist them, including helping them to complete their ballot. Election workers, who are sworn to maintain the secrecy of the vote, are also available to help. …

There are 200+ independent candidates now registered for the byelection in Battle River-Crowfoot where Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is running.

So Elections Canada has now decided to just have people write in the name of the person they want to vote for, instead of marking an 'X' on a list.

I miss those Symphony of Fire days….

WOW!

According to this email, not only has Danielle Smith & the UCP blocked the use of the PC name in Alberta…

It’s actually the Alberta Party that will be reanimated/rebranded under former UCP minister Peter Guthrie and former UCP MLA Scott Sinclair!

Kherson has faced russian shelling for over 3 years. Shelters there aren’t just for hiding, they’re where babies are born, surgeries happen, kids learn, and plays are performed. These spaces help people stay in their hometown and keep life going through the war.

The Strategists had a great piece of advice for politicos: "don't believe your own press release."
Political spin used to be reserved for the cult-like following of the membership but certain parties (M*GA, CPC, UCP, and their ilk) have decided it can work everywhere. 🧵

In AIMCo's 2024 annual report, the word “climate” doesn’t appear once. That’s a red flag. Every major Canadian pension fund has recognized climate change as a financial risk—AIMCo now seems to be backing away from that basic fact. 🧵

Even if she didn’t direct it, she has created the environment in which her followers think it is permissible. She wants zero accountability and we should not allow her that.

Presidential Pettiness Donald Trump seems to have no theory of governance beyond personal gain and retribution.

Six months into his second term, personal gain and petty retribution seem to be Donald Trump’s only goals for his presidency, Tom Nichols argues in The Atlantic Daily.

This is bad. Creepy, dangerous stuff. Someone doesn't want Carrie Tait investigating allegations of political interference at Alberta’s provincial health authority and is tracking her in public and private settings. Stalking her.
