@Lisa59064711@VoteLewko@HunterBiden I strongly disagree with the cruelty being "needless". He is an empty vessel. Their is no there there. He has no inner life. He only has his fear and self loathing. He NEEDS to be cruel to feel anything at all.
I watched Trump’s speech at the Correspondents’ Dinner last night.
It’s hard to articulate how sad it made me.
Sad and embarrassed and exhausted.
Here is the thing about a man who is a joke. He can’t tell one.
People think humor is a talent. It isn’t. It’s a capacity. To make someone laugh you have to be able to laugh at yourself, and to laugh at yourself you have to step outside of yourself and see what everyone else sees. For one second you have to be just another person in the room.
Most people can do this by the time they are nine years old.
He has never once managed it. Not in fifty years of cameras. Not for a second.
That is not a quirk. It is a symptom. The muscle that lets you tell a joke is the same one that lets you feel what another person feels. A man who cannot survive being laughed at cannot imagine being anyone but himself. He will only ever be generous when it is photographed. He will only ever be kind when it is filmed.
There is a name for it.
So he stood up there and did what he always does. He hit down. He made jokes about people’s weight. He made jokes about their intelligence. He made jokes about how women look. He read out the names of people he doesn’t like, and mocked them. Always mocking. And when no one laughed he blamed his speech writers.
The cruelty dressed as humor has worn so thin.
And for the 30% of you still in the cult who will inevitably call me a crackhead and blame it all on my Dad, all I can say is please, for the love of God, open your eyes. Wake the fuck up. Have some dignity. Have some pride.
Joe Biden wasn’t standing at that podium last night. Donald Trump was.
And at the end of it he put on a red hat that said Trump 2028 and told the room he was running again. No one laughed because everyone knows he has no intention of leaving.
Just another joke at our expense.
I am deeply appalled and angry to see “Firework” used on the @WhiteHouse TikTok account as a backing track for video footage of military strikes. I did not approve this, I was not asked, and I absolutely do not condone it.
I wrote this song to be an anthem of hope, healing, and inner strength for people going through their darkest personal moments. To see a message of self-worth and upliftment weaponized to soundtrack destruction and violence is a complete violation of everything my song stands for.
My music is for bringing people together, not celebrating warfare.
💥🚨We're back ...
Because of my anti-Trump posts, my account with over 700K+ followers was reported by MAGA and was shut down.
I’m back with a new account and will keep speaking out.
Please follow, repost, and help me rebuild. Thank you.
Ukraine continues applying long‑range sanctions in response to Russian strikes. Last night, the warriors of our Defense Forces hit targets across different regions of Russia that are fueling this war.
Once again, a plant in Kirov was struck – the one supplying components for the weapons Russia uses to attack our people. That’s about 1,200 kilometers from Ukraine’s border. Also hit were an oil refinery in Tyumen, a logistics facility in Yekaterinburg, and a fuel and lubricants depot in Rostov‑on‑Don. We also achieved very strong results with long‑range strikes in the Caspian Sea – including vessels used in military cargo shipments involving Iran, as well as a warship.
Thank you for these results! Glory to Ukraine!
Numbered Treaties don’t mean natives have no say on Alberta, the opposite, actually.
Treaty 6, 7, and 8 were signed with the Crown, not with Alberta. The province didn’t exist until 1905, so you can’t secede out of an obligation you weren’t even a party to.
The written text says “cede, release, surrender.” But the oral promises made to chiefs were “as long as the sun shines, the grass grows, and the rivers flow” — shared use, not a one-time handover. Courts increasingly weigh that oral record alongside the paper.
Treaty and Aboriginal rights are constitutionally protected under Section 35. A province can’t override that unilaterally. Treaty 8 Grand Chief Trevor Mercredi called out Smith directly for treating Section 35 as a “legal uncertainty.” It isn’t — the Supreme Court has upheld it repeatedly.
This isn’t theoretical. A Court of King’s Bench ruling already found Alberta’s chief electoral officer failed its duty to consult First Nations and ignored a prior decision holding that separation would violate treaty rights. That’s what got the Stay Free Alberta petition quashed.
Seven chiefs put it plainly in January: “Under international and Canadian law, neither Alberta nor Albertans have the right to secede, unilaterally or otherwise. The Treaties were agreed to by First Nations and Crown before Alberta was created.”
Athabasca Chipewyan Chief Allan Adam: First Nations signed treaties to share the land, not for separation, or “for you to go wherever you want.”
In July, the AFN passed a national emergency resolution: a province cannot unilaterally alter or extinguish Treaty rights or change the constitutional relationship between First Nations and the Crown.
Mercredi has said he won’t rule out civil disobedience if Alberta ignores the court rulings and proceeds with the referendum question — blocking highways, halting industry. That’s the real cost separatists never mention.
So no, the treaties don’t strip natives of a say. They’re one of the biggest legal walls standing in the way of secession.
Eternal memory 🫡🙏
Kateryna Shynkarenko was a Ukrainian sniper of the 53rd Separate Mechanized Brigade.🇺🇦
Before the war, she was an athlete. After Russia’s full-scale invasion, she chose to defend Ukraine and became a sniper.🫡
During the battle for Avdiivka in February 2024, she stayed behind to cover the withdrawal of her comrades.
Kateryna was killed on February 22, 2024. She was only 30 years old.💔
Such a brave woman, Honor to you🫡
Heroes never die 🫡🙏
Absolute masterpiece from the Ukrainian SBU.
russians in occupied Crimea bought fake fuel QR codes.
The money ended up funding Ukraine's 110th Mechanized Brigade.
Poetic justice.
Before Danielle Smith repeatedly changed the rules to help the separatists, they would have needed roughly 600,000 signatures to force a vote.
The separatists didn't even come close to that number and nearly 80,000 signatures were tossed by Elections Alberta.
This is 100% Danielle Smith's separation referendum. She is the one caving to her far-right base. She is the one who is willing to tear Canada apart for her political gain.

Imagine being so fucking dumb, you believe that under wind power the power goes out if the wind stops blowing. trump is an imbecile, a goddamned idiot, an appallingly, crushingly stupid fucking moron. And if you support him, you’re even dumber than he is.
Tell me what exactly America is protecting us from? The only threat to North America is America. And America can't even defend the Strait of Hormuz. That's only a small part of Iran. Canada is like six Irans. We are about 10th-ish in the world in drone technology and have not offended nearly every ally we have. Most NATO countries would come to our aid, against America. The age of manned armoured vehicles, missiles, and large combat ships is over. We are in the age of $1,000 drones destroying $5 million tanks. My money is on the United States not willing to mess with Canada. You'd take land and not be able to hold it because we'd make you pay in blood.
No, these aren’t the Windberries warehouses in Moscow from last week or in Krasnodar from yesterday. They’re the ones in St. Petersburg from today!
Mihai Tonsciuc asked me yesterday whether “the Russians are feeling these attacks,” referring to Ukraine’s goal of pushing the war back to where it came from and drawing the population’s attention (also) in the context of the September parliamentary elections and the post-election mobilization.
Wildberries employs approximately 50,000 people. The Associated Press and Reuters estimate between 700,000 and 1 million merchants on the platform, and Mediascope estimated that 62% of Russians over the age of 12 accessed the platform at least once a month. If we add all these figures together, we arrive at the conclusion that 60% of the total population would be affected in one way or another if all Wildberries warehouses were destroyed.
If we consider that the warehouses in western Russia are the largest and most important—and that they are being systematically destroyed—then we can conclude that the Ukrainians will achieve this objective much more quickly. In recent days, 6 of the top 10 largest warehouses have already been hit or completely destroyed. Estimated losses amount to over $3 billion (not including today’s losses in St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and Crimea).
Most likely, the costs and losses inflicted on Russia by Ukraine in this military operation alone will approach $10 billion by the end of the month.
As for the argument that “oh, but these are civilian targets,” the position remains as we’ve established:
If you have illegally attacked a country, without cause, without justification, kidnapped over 20,000 children, killed over 20,000 civilians in Mariupol alone, and created over 10 mass graves (Bucha, Irpin, Izium, Borodyanka, Chernihiv, Mariupol, etc.), you are guilty of mass murder and genocide, and in the fifth year, the victim strikes your logistics hubs through which you import parts and products that you turn into weapons to continue the massacre of the victim’s citizens—then yes, don’t complain, and those logistics hubs become legitimate military targets.
Slava Ukraini!
We are supposedly at war to stop Iran from enriching the uranium we “obliterated” over a year ago.
Yesterday we signed a deal to help Saudi Arabia enrich uranium.
The first time the United States has ever helped another country enrich uranium on foreign soil.
The Saudis refused the inspection protocol 140 other countries accept. Too intrusive, they said.
Trump agreed. He signed a national security waiver to get around the rule.
The Saudis paid Kushner $100 million. They put $2 billion into his firm. They put another $6 billion into LIV Golf, which pays Trump properties to host its tournaments. They signed ten billion dollars in Trump-branded real estate deals in Jeddah and Riyadh. All in just the last few years.
But sure. My paintings.
