Another way to think about Trump announcement today: If he increased US diesel imports from Canada by 4%, he would gain as much fuel as from this Russia deal. But the Canadians are global super-villains, so who wants to buy from them when you could enrich Putin instead?

An oil terminal in Rostov is transferring its diesel to the cloud. That's where Trump can get it if he wants to.

I just want to give a huge shout-out to all the Americans who are as appalled as Canadians are by Trump’s attacks on Canada. 🇨🇦🇺🇸
We know Trump doesn’t represent all of you.
Thank you for standing with your neighbours, now we’re counting on you at the midterms: show up, vote, and hold his movement accountable. ❤️

The United States is waging an unprovoked economic war on Canada.
Prime Minister Mark Carney said today: “We were attacked. You’re at war when you get attacked. We got attacked.”
Angry Canadians will rally and intensify our boycott of American goods and of travel to the USA.

If you told me four years ago that I’d be watching videos of a shotgun-mounted Ukrainian drone mercilessly shooting down a swarm of russian drones, I would have laughed. Yet, here we are.

One of the most cynical Russian war crimes is the systematic, calculated transfer of Ukrainian children, scattering them across Russia, concealing their fate, “reprogramming” their culture, and continuously, shamelessly subjecting them to militarization. It is vitally important to bring our children back home from there. Before the Russians break them. And every initiative, every activity, every effort that helps achieve this also helps Ukraine. I said this while addressing participants of the Civil Society and Expert Day.
Thanks to our Bring Kids Back UA initiative, we have secured 2,126 returns, and we will continue this work. We have engaged strong international mediators to help bring the children home.
I am grateful to every country that has joined our Coalition for the Return of Children. I want to thank every leader of the countries contributing to the effort, and every First Lady of countries that care and are concerned about the fate of abducted children. I thank our Bring Kids Back team. I am grateful to all diplomats, international organizations, and journalists who maintain focus on the rescue of children.

The old order is not coming back.
Nostalgia is not a strategy.
From the fracture, we can build something better, stronger, and more just.
Canada is choosing honesty, strength, and action.
That’s our path.

This is Alex Pretti, a VA ICU nurse, honoring a veteran he cared for at a VA hospital.
The son of the deceased veteran just posted this video on Facebook with the following message:
“RIP Alex Pretti,
he was my Dads ICU nurse, he read my dad’s final salute at the VA after he passed away. Never wanted to share this video but his speech is very on point. Also my Fathers final words to me was continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex’ sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration. In my Dads words I encourage you all to continue to ‘fight the good fight’”

This isn’t inevitable.
A few Republicans in Congress could still stop a reckless annexation or attack on Greenland — right now.
Silence is a choice.

Stephen Miller is a tiny Nazi with a tiny brain and a tiny dick. He cannot defend himself from facts, history or basic human decency.

And here we are: the entire transatlantic alliance is focused on Greenland, instead of ending the war in Ukraine.

Trump is utterly unreliable.
We must spend serious money on defending Ukraine.
And ourselves.
VPDFO!

Trump: “Other countries, and their leaders know that if I’m president, they can’t mess with us. They respect me too much."
United Kingdom: “Heyyyyy Donald Trump (ooh, ahh), I wanna know-oh-oh-oh-oh, why you’re such a cunt.” 🇬🇧

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.

Putin indiscriminately butchers more Ukrainian civilians, killing and injuring 100 in Kyiv including children. And what is his reward under the latest peace proposals?
1. The right to keep sovereign Ukrainian territory he has taken by violence and in breach of international law.
2. The right to control Ukraine’s destiny by forbidding Nato membership
3. The lifting of sanctions against Russia
4. An economic partnership with America.
5. The chance to rebuild his armed forces for the next attack in a few short years’ time.
As for Ukraine - what do they get after three years of heroic resistance against a brutal and unprovoked invasion? What is their reward for the appalling sacrifices they have made - for the sake, as they have endlessly been told, of freedom and democracy around the world?
Apart from the right to share their natural resources with the United States they get nothing.
What is there in this deal that can realistically stop a third Russian invasion? Nothing.
If we are to prevent more atrocities by Putin then we must have a long term, credible and above all properly funded security guarantee for Ukraine - a guarantee issued by the UK, the US and all western allies.
