Another exhausting round of "Ukraine can't win" from people who clearly are not watching the same war as I am. Ukraine can win, as long as it continues to receive heavy weaponry, continues outsourcing its war economy to the West, and crippling economic sanctions on Russia remain.

“A defeated former president who was at the center of a failed coup allegedly walks out the door with nuclear secrets, refuses to give them back and then leaves a creepy, semi-threatening message for the attorney general — that’s apparently where we are.”

Ukraine’s remarkably resilient response to Russia’s invasion has served to highlight how far the country has come in its nation-building journey since the chaotic early years of the post-Soviet era, writes Anders Åslund (@anders_aslund)

J.T. Martinez, a fourth-grade student in Uvalde, Texas, lost three cousins in the elementary school shooting. One of them was also his best friend. "I’m not going to see him for a long time," J.T. said. nyti.ms/3JZwXZ1

Real history is not "elitist."
Also, 'History shows that fake populism and anti-intellectualism — with, as a byproduct, targeting independent thought — are necessary ingredients of an authoritarian takeover.' From the great @seanwilentz

Serbia is helping Russia beat sanctions - why is the EU not doing more to prevent this?
Are you a Western company that can’t work in Russia because of sanctions? No worries, you can evade sanctions via Serbia.
Between 30,000 & 50,000 Russians have moved to Serbia. And more than 1,000 companies have registered…most of them in the IT sector. dw.com/en/russians-are-incre…

My take on ideology and misinformation: nbcnews.com/think/opinion/co…
Using ideology has long been a "foundational marketing strategy of the wellness industry."

In June, a MAGA lawyer signed a written document in June telling the Justice Department that all classified material held at Mar-a-Lago had all been returned.
And the lawful FBI search this week uncovered much more, meaning the lawyer lied.

They are about harvesting this country's resources & assets, & exploiting its people for the profit of the few. We are slowly recovering from the Harper decade federally. We cannot risk another CPC government. Hopefully we can survive the provincial ones.

Thugs, white nationalist, anti-vax, mentally ill thugs.
Counter-protester endures three separate physical assaults from an older lady who grabs his knapsack, lifts her foot to his crotch, and rips off his mask.
This happened directly outside @PtboPolice station. There’s not a single cop in sight.

Canada has been for sale for a long time. Conservatives don't govern. They act as corporate raiders, selling off all assets of any value. A thread. #cdnpoli

Does anyone know what herbicides are being used for this?
Throughout ward 7 herbacides have been used in @CalgaryParks playgrounds: Parkdale Community Park, Helicopter Park, GrandTrunk Park, West Hillhurst Community Park (2 Ave & 31 St NW)....
Seems broadleaf weeds are more important than kids.

Every single Fox News employee is complicit in the defamation of Judge Reinhardt. From Rupert Murdoch, all the way down to the unpaid employees. Those who continue to work at Fox News — after such horrific journalistic malpractice — are responsible for putting his life in danger.

Russian State TV is airing clips of Fox News calling the FBI “corrupt” and “politicized.” Anchors on Russian State TV are saying that Trump has been ‘unfairly targeted’ as well. Russia is spreading GOP talking points. And the GOP is spreading Putin’s talking points. Even worse:
