Jesse Marsch issues a message to U.S. President Donald Trump 🎙️
"Lay off the ridiculous rhetoric about Canada being the 51st state; as an American, I'm ashamed of the arrogance and disregard we've shown one of our historically oldest, strongest and most loyal allies."

Is this what we want?
Over 1,000 musicians, including Kate Bush, Damon Albarn, and Annie Lennox, have released a silent album titled Is This What We Want? in protest against the UK government's plan to allow AI companies to use copyrighted works without permission. The album, featuring dormant recordings, symbolizes the threat to artists' livelihoods posed by the proposed copyright exemption. Critics argue that the plan unfairly exploits creative professionals and could harm the UK's world-leading creative industries. Profits from the album will benefit Help Musicians, as the debate over AI's use of copyrighted content intensifies.

Three years ago, Russia launched its illegal full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
I’m in Kyiv today to meet with President Zelenskyy and show that Canada stands with Ukraine — now and always.
Trump/Musk cutting off communications access to the hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians fighting in horrible conditions, giving their lives defending Europe, as an extortion is exactly what the US is now.
And they voted for it.
Hunter Schafer reveals that her new passport now lists her sex as male instead of female, following Trump’s instatement:
“I’m not making this post to fear-monger, or to create drama, or receive consolation, I don’t need it. But I do think it’s worth posting to sort of note the reality of the situation and that it’s happening. I was shocked. I just didn’t think it was actually going to happen. I want to acknowledge my privilege, not only as a celebrity transwoman who is white […] I pass, and it still happened. […] No one, no matter how wealthy or white or pretty or whatever is excluded. […] I don’t give a f**k that they put an ‘M’ on my passport. It doesn’t change really anything about me or my transness, however, it does make life a little harder. I’m pretty sure it’s gonna come along with having to out myself to border patrol agents […] much more often than I would like to or is really necessary. And thinking about other trans women or other trans people who this might be happening to.”
As many inexplicably seem to be throwing President @ZelenskyyUa to the wolves, I stand with him. He’s been an astoundingly courageous and inspiring leader in horrendous circumstances, and deserves so much better than the way he is currently being treated/smeared.
I do wonder if Trump gets his Kremlin talking points in Russian and his team has to translate them. Or if the Kremlin propaganda department sends them to him in English for immediate cut and paste. I think the latter.
