Trump signed an executive order today declaring that, out of spite, he wants to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America. After the laughter subsided and Canadian government officials composed themselves, they responded that we would be renaming Lake Huron to Lake You're On. 🇨🇦

Very big congratulations to my good friend @maria_drutska on this absolutely massive achievement!! A huge amount of time, effort, and perseverance is required to complete a Master's degree, especially one from @KingsCollegeLon, and I can't wait to see where the road leads next!!

"How do you feel?" I... I don't. I don't feel. I'm numb inside. Emotionless. Tired. So very, very tired. But I keep putting one foot in front of the other. I have to. For the mission. 4 years. 4. Literally nobody would believe all the things I've done. "Fine, and you?"

This is absolutely fantastic to see, and an incredible achievement by a very strong, smart, and tenacious warrior who I have the privilege of calling a friend. I look forward to seeing where the journey takes you as you keep pursuing your dreams down new and exciting pathways!🌞
I AM GOING TO LONDON! 🖤 I’ve been awarded a Chevening Scholarship from @FCDOGovUK – one of the most prestigious and competitive scholarships in the world. From nearly 103,000 applicants from 160 countries, I was among 1% to be selected, still feels surreal. I’m beginning my second masters, MA in International Relations at @KingsCollegeLondon, @WarStudies – one of the world’s pre-eminent centers for war, conflict, and global security, with leading faculty, influential alumni, and deep engagement in current issues. For someone with my background in foreign affairs, security & defense, and for a Ukrainian living through a war, this is a dream💫. I am endlessly grateful to @CheveningFCDO and @UKinUkraine for believing in me. See you in London! #ChosenforChevening #MyCheveningJourney #Chevening

🧵 Yesterday was a special day for me. I was humbled and honoured to be presented with a King Charles III Coronation Medal by @MarcusPowlowski on behalf of @GGCanada due to my work supporting Ukraine in addition to efforts helping with @VaxHuntersCan and @PushBackDarknss

You (yes, you 🫵) can make a big difference if you take actions which help others. Even small actions can have a disproportionately large impact, and I consider myself very lucky to be able to help support Ukrainians alongside so many other dedicated, smart, and talented people.

Thank you very much to all the helpers out there. Keep going, hold onto that optimism which drives you, and remember it's ok to take a breath and rest for a bit when you need to. You are making a difference, and I am very grateful to each and every one of you for what you do 💙💛

3 years ago, at 0430 on 2022-02-24, russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Ukraine still fights for all Europe's freedom. And we must support Ukraine, because the price paid today will be lower than the price paid tomorrow to stop this growing evil. Slava Ukraini!

Big thanks to @farrellgraymond for creating the initial batch of TCCC cards 2 years ago, which led directly to these printed cards in the hands of 🇺🇦 soldiers! And if you (yes, you 🫵) are aware of anyone else in Ukraine who can use A6-size printed ASM reference cards, DM me!

This time last year, I was in Kyiv for Remembrance Day. This year I am in 🇨🇦 again, and will be at the cenotaph when the bell marks the 11th hour. And I will think of those lost, including a fellow Canadian in 🇺🇦 who I gave a poppy to last year but who can no longer wear his🍁🕯️
I'm marking Remembrance Day in Kyiv 🇺🇦 this year. Today, 2023-11-11 at 1100 local time, I went to the memorial wall at Saint Sophia's Cathedral, where the pictures of many of the fallen defenders of 🇺🇦 are commemorated, and recited the poem In Flanders Fields:

Today we stand at a fork in history's road, one which will set the course of international events for many years to come. Will America retain the ideals they claim to cherish, or embrace a demagogue and plunge into the abyss as Germany did last century? We will know soon.

Today is the birthday of a very special person named Ryan @Straxus who came into my life for very unexpected reasons, but I am extremely glad that he did! Someone who is always "just checking in" to make sure I'm okay.. Someone whose common sense has kept me from "shooting out whatever I want on twitter" so many times. The person behind all those awesome fundraising cat memes you see here on twitter when I fundraise. I am extremely grateful to fate that we actually managed to meet in Ukraine, because helping Ukraine and "keep eyes on the mission" is one of the things that unites us. HAPPY BDAY!!🫂❤️ thank you for being amazing friend!!

Thank you video from the Kherson air defense commander. These words of thanks are not just for us, but for all of you!! Take this 2.5 minutes to listen to how much help we all provided together and how much of a difference one car makes on the front! Couldn't have done it without your support! Thank you! 🙏🏻🇺🇦🫂 @VestForUkraine @Straxus @toomasroolaid
