It's actually hard to chill out knowing we issued a similar statement TWO MONTHS AGO warning that Israel must let humanitarian aid flow.

TWO MONTHS LATER and all we can manage is a strongly worded finger wagging? What the fuck is wrong with us?

This cowardice is a permanent stain on our country.

This coffee shop in #Kyiv is being rebuilt for the sixth time after Russian attacks.

The barista says it's important for her to keep going because the coffee shop feels like a symbol of resilience.

It amazes me how strong Ukrainians are.

American secular groups need to oust pseudoscientific bigotry Atheists should know that dehumanization underlies theistic opposition to trans rights.

“I fear that the network of secular organizations seeking to protect and advocate for atheists in America will not reach most of the nation’s growing nonreligious population because of the bigotry that has pervaded it for decades”

Last night, russian terrorists conducted a massive aerial attack on European towns and cities.

The Polish air force took to the skies but a reasonable question is: why did they bother? Poland has never shot down drones and missiles operated by russian terrorists and never will.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Stellantis warns of US$2.7 billion loss for 1st half of 2025 due to tariffs and some big charges Stellantis, the maker of Jeep and Ram vehicles, says its preliminary estimates show a 2.3 billion euros (US$2.68 billion) net loss in the first half of the year due to U.S. tariffs and some hefty char...

Dodge and Chrysler, Jeep — none of the Stellantis holdings in the U.S. will survive the Trump years. www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/com...

Holy sh....

This goes wayyy beyond what I understood to be known/highly suspected.

ICYDK deatheaters don't screw about and don't publicise something they can't prove.
The link between Trump, Mafia, organised crime, Moscow and Putin would appear to be damn near concrete.

A young and healthy Russian dictator shouldn't be wearing glasses. So he will soon get billboards printed out for him to look at in his office.

Also never optioned, which I find frankly incomprehensible, since you COULD make that (relatively) cheaply and it would be one of those films that everyone who saw it would go "What the FUCK did I just watch" and then recommend it to all their friends. I keep suggesting it! No one ever bites!

The Ambassador to Ukraine from the United States, Bridget Brink, has resigned.

Her position became untenable after she sent a tweet following the Russian missile attack on Kryvyi Rih that killed nine children, in which she failed to mention Russia's responsibility.

Canadians should only travel to the United States after Trump admits he was wrong, apologizes, and begs for forgiveness for saying Canada should be the “51st state.”

If that never happens then you have your answer about when Canadians should resume U.S. travel.

Russians attacked civilians in Zhytomyr region. One person was killed and five more were injured, including a child.

The Russian Federation is a terrorist state. Pretending it isn’t is a disaster for humanity.

Ripper: Why Pierre Poilievre isn’t the man for the moment We spoke with Mark Bourrie, the author of the new biography about the Conservative Party leader, Ripper: The Making of Pierre Poilievre.

“He’s a very unique person in modern Canadian politics,” he says. “There aren’t many opportunities for someone with such a low level of education and such a mediocre life story to get so close to the position of prime minister the way that he has.”

this book promo interview is serving high tea.

Calls grow for Poilievre to pull Conservative candidate Gunn The leaders are urging federal leader Pierre Poilievre to remove him for social media posts that “advance residential school denialism,” they said in a statement released Thursday.

In addition to his residential school tweets, Gunn was criticized for posts like the “gender pay gap doesn’t exist" and systemic racism is a "myth." Gunn is also critical of diversity hiring in the military, suggesting “apparently white males need not apply.” (70% of Canadian military is white men.)

not one of these billionaire fuckstains like Howard Lutnick or the Space Nazi — or even fake billionaires like Donny Convict — have a single clue what it’s like to live in the real word. so what if the price of everything doubles? they won’t even notice. do you think Lutnick has ever had to choose between paying for medication, or paying the rent? ha fucking ha. these motherfuckers think financial collapse is good for you. hey, you’ll be able to pick up a few stocks on the cheap, and sell them when the market goes up, so what’s with all the bellyaching? with any luck, these assholes will lose bigtime, and be forced to survive in the economy they’ve inflicted on the rest of us.

A Russian soldier filmed a road in Kursk region. It is littered with destroyed military equipment, so Russian soldiers use horses as reportedly they attract less attention of the drones.

Russian propagandists are worried about a possible European military union:

"These states have a strong military history and tradition. Quite recently, they were among the strongest armies in the world. So we should not be dismissive of them and underestimate the danger from them."

Russia violated all of the ceasefires made when Trump occupied the White House the first time. While violating a ceasefire in Luhansk region in 2017, Russian invaders killed American medic Joseph Stone. Putin puppet Trump ignored it all.
