In 2024, Russia placed Kaja Kallas on its official wanted list. Two months later, the European Union appointed her as its top diplomat.

For years, Kallas governed a country that borders Russia and still carries the memory of Soviet occupation in its laws, language, and political culture. Leading Estonia meant governing under the shadow of a constant threat. She did it anyway — and she did it loudly — becoming one of Europe’s most uncompromising voices against Russian aggression at a time when being uncompromising was not considered politically comfortable or safe.

In January 2021, she became Estonia’s first female prime minister. She remained in office until July 2024, leading the country through Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine and warning NATO allies to take the threat seriously long before many of them were ready to listen.

In December 2024, she became the European Union’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs — the bloc’s highest diplomatic position.

Russia tried to silence her.

Europe handed her a microphone instead. 🌍

Perrault. Neely. 3 Cup Final losses. 2 riots. Messier. Bure leaves. Lidstrom from centre. “My contract sucks”. Hughes leaves. The misery list is long for Canucks’ fans—-and now includes losing a draft lottery to, of all teams, the Leafs

[Jason Brough 🙁 @SadClubCommish]

The Canucks have clinched last overall. So long, mushy middle!

What a period! You know, trading a player like Quinn Hughes never works out well…

[Margaret E Atwood @MargaretAtwood]

Here's a piece of literature by me, suitable for seventeen-year-olds in Alberta schools, unlike -- we are told -- The Handmaid's Tale. (Sorry, kids; your Minister of Education thinks you are stupid babies.)

John and Mary were both very, very good children. They never picked their noses or had bowel movements or zits. They grew up and married each other, and produced five perfect children without ever having sex. Although they claimed to be Christian, they paid no attention to what Jesus actually said about the poor and the Good Samaritan and forgiving your enemies and such; instead, they practised selfish rapacious capitalism, because they worshipped Ayn Rand. (Though they ignored the scene in The Fountainhead where “welcomed rape” is advocated, because who wants to dwell, and also that would have involved sex and would de facto be pornographic. Well, it kind of is, eh?) Oh, and they never died, because who wants to dwell on, you know, death and corpses and yuk? So they lived happily ever after. But while they were doing that The Handmaid’s Tale came true and Danielle Smith found herself with a nice new blue dress but no job. The end.

This is a brilliant, @Kasparov63.
