Saw this on Reddit.

These separatists are terrorizing teachers in schools, and all of this bullshit was endorsed and sponsored by the Alberta UCP.

Watching separatists lose their minds because mayors came out against separatism is wild.

It’s like they’ve never seen a politician or person in position of leadership actually lead.

Oh.

Wait.

I don't know why any of you haters are surprised I'm the one actually engaging here.

You're the ones who've obsessively pored over the 10,000 photos, the 30,000 text messages, and the 128,000 emails from my hacked iCloud and stolen devices.

If I am anything, I am prolific.

You know what you won't find? Any of the most heinous, hateful things you keep posting about me.

What you'll find from me here is the same thing you found there.

Total transparency. Finally on my terms. Not yours.

@KeeganMatheson I think the Jays are there too - he has started 15 of the last 17 games

[Keegan Matheson @KeeganMatheson]

Brandon Valenzuela needs to stay on the roster when Alejandro Kirk returns.

I really don't care about "asset management" talk. The #BlueJays need to win as many baseball games as possible and Valenzuela clearly gives them the best chance to do that.

🚨NEWS: Scientists Were Handcuffed At A Medical Conference.

Researchers and physicians attending the American Diabetes Association conference in New Orleans were reportedly detained and removed while distributing a paper criticizing cuts to federal research funding.

Think about that for a second.

Scientists were not accused of sabotaging research.

They were sharing research.

If the reports are accurate, the question isn’t whether you agree with their conclusions.

It’s why distributing a scientific paper resulted in handcuffs.

@EricCrossMLB Have to admit this pisses me off. Held him as a prospect on my Scoresheet team for years and dropped him when it looked like he was never going to gain any control. As soon as I did he suddenly discovered it!

Separatism is polling at 9%

Alberta DOES NOT have a separatist problem

It has a Rick Bell problem

Bell is Postmedia’s most-read Alberta columnist

Smith gives him exclusive access

He uses it not to challenge her…but to make separatism seem inevitable

God bless technological progress and video archives!

Here's almost four minutes of Putin's evolving statements from 2008 to 2024:

2008: "Crimea is not disputed territory of Ukraine, and the issues of Russian speakers are internal issues of Ukraine."

2013: "Russia certainly doesn't plan to send troops into Ukraine."

2014: "After the annexation of Crimea, Russia doesn't plan to further divide Ukraine."

2019: "It's nonsense that Russia plans to attack anyone in future."

2022: "Russia's Special Military Operation does not involve the occupation of Ukrainian territories," and "Russia has acquired new territories during the Special Military Operation."

2023: "The conflict in Ukraine is not a territorial conflict—we have plenty of own territories."

2024: "Anyone who wants Russia to give up CONQUERED TERRITORIES in Ukraine must understand that this is impossible."

2024: "Could Russia attack Poland or Latvia? That's nonsense." Why do we need this?

2024 "Russia has no plans to attack NATO..."

How stupid do you have to be to not understand that negotiations and promises don't work with a lying and hypocritical dictator?
All he and Russia understand is strength and the ability to deliver a real rebuff to Russia's imperialist dreams!

Every time I read that sanctions against Russia should not be made tougher because they might affect “оrdinary Russians,” I have one question.

Why is the world so concerned that Russians might have a less comfortable life, yet speaks far less about Ukrainians who are being kіІIеd every day by Russian mіssiles and drones?

Sanctions may cause economic hardship for Russians. But that hardship does not thrеаten their lives. It does not dеstroy their homes in the middle of the night. It does not burу their children under the rubble. It does not force them to wake up to еxplosions and live with the fеar of losing their loved ones every single day.

So what is the logic?

Why does the comfort of citizens of the аggressor state matter more to some people than the lives of those their state is kіIІіng?

For years, we Ukrainians have been paying the highest price -with our lives, our health, our homes, and our future. And when someone argues that Russians must be protected from the consequences of sanctions while remaining silent about protecting Ukrainians from Russian mіssiles, it looks like moral blіndness.

I am not concerned about the comfort of people whose state brings dеаth to my nation every day.

I am concerned about the lives of Ukrainians.

The closure of @USAID by 20-something DOGE bros (who probably thought "screwworm" was a hilarious joke) will haunt us for years to come.

@ColinTheLefty @solshiner @smalls2672 Yep. Conservatives were Democrats/Dixiecrats prior to Barry Goldwater, the Southern Strategy, & realignment when the parties switched their names/ideologies

The bigoted people remained the same regardless of what party name they went by at the time: Southern white conservatives

[Neil Makohoniuk @Neilmak68]

@ToewsWenda @LawrenceLakeMan @validmavericity Exactly this - we have 1000 fewer acute care beds than we did 30 years ago. That is systemic underfunding - all while the population has doubled in that time.

[Fifty Shades of Whey @davenewworld_2]

Pregnant girls as young as 13 are being held in a remote Texas immigration facility while a member of Congress (Rep. Maxine Dexter) says she was blocked from speaking to them. Some of these pregnancies are the result of rape.

This is one of the most horrifying immigration stories right now in the USA.

How many pregnant children are there? Where are these girls coming from? Where are they being sent? Are they getting real prenatal care? Do they have access to proper legal representation? Are newborn babies being ripped out of their mother's arms? Why are members of Congress being blocked from speaking with them?

No agency should be able to hide where vulnerable kids are being sent. We need to free these children and give them healthcare, lawyers, family reunification, and safety.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.
