What iPads did to Norwegian children!

If this doesn't seriously wake people up I don't know what will. Elon Musk reportedly spent nearly HALF A BILLION dollars influencing American elections. Imagine if that money went toward housing, food security, healthcare and education instead. Imagine the lives that could have changed. Tax extreme wealth and fund basic human needs.

The Canadian side of Niagara Falls lit them up with blue to celebrate the democrat's victories in the midterms. The world just breathed a huge sigh of relief, Thank you, America!

A year ago, I left myself a reminder to revisit something the Trump administration did during the government shutdown: freeze food assistance for millions of Americans, despite having emergency funds available. So much has happened since that it's easy to forget. That's why I wrote this. We need to remember. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-…

Horrific reports from Kyiv, Ukraine💔 Local Telegram channels report that bloodied students are being carried out one by one from the State University of Trade and Economics following a russian ballistic missile attack. The extent of the casualties is not yet confirmed.

This week, Russia has hit nine “Epicentr” stores across Ukraine. These are Ukraine’s version of “Home Depot,” where people buy household appliances - including generators to power their homes through the winter as Russian strikes knock out electricity across the country. This live was from a store hit Thursday. Four more were hit in the last 24 hours alone.

This is the last time we will ever vote to hold Trump accountable. He's lived without consequences his entire freakin life. He cheated on every wife, cheated on his taxes, cheated to get out of serving, cheated to get into school, screwed every contractor, employee, coworker, investor, bank, follower, and friend, spent years partying with the world's biggest pedophile, gave pentagon contracts to his sons, took a plane as a bribe, and made $2 billion as president by turning us into an ATM... He is a human crime factory.... He is what Al Capone and Bernie Madoff dreamt about... And yet... He's never stepped foot inside a prison cell. This is our last chance to shove justice in his fat face. Shit floats, but not above the law. Don't let him get away with it. Vote.

This footage is from the very beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022. Look at that little Ukrainian boy, walking towards the border in tears, surrounded by families fleeing a Russian invasion. Now consider the extraordinary moral bankruptcy of Trump, Rubio, Hegseth and Musk, whose message to Ukraine increasingly amounts to: “Fuck Ukraine. Russia gets our sympathy.” Meanwhile, Steve Witkoff apparently sees Putin as some sort of humanitarian. Quite remarkable. Most people can distinguish a humanitarian from a man whose army bombs hospitals and forces children to flee their homes. Apparently, this requires a level of intellectual sophistication beyond certain members of the American establishment. It hardly takes a magnificent imagination to work out which side these gentlemen might have found more accommodating in 1939. “Never again” was supposed to mean something. It wasn’t a decorative slogan to be dusted off once a year while making excuses for the next dictator. And to those who admire Russia as some glorious defender of Western civilisation, perhaps try learning something about the country. Russia has millions of Muslim citizens. It is hardly the anti-Muslim paradise some of its Western admirers imagine. Nor does Putin’s dictatorship represent the democratic freedoms they claim to cherish. But then, understanding history, geography or basic human decency does rather spoil the pleasure of having absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. That little boy understood who the aggressor was. Remarkable how many supposedly powerful adults still struggle with it.

“In late spring 2020, a source I knew to be reliable called me with a story,” writes Matthew Cole. “The Dutch government had hacked into Jared Kushner’s phone and monitored him as he accessed a Dubai-based bank account. What was odd, the source said, was that the money in the account—hundreds of millions of dollars—had come from a bank in Azerbaijan. Most importantly, Kushner appeared to have transferred significant amounts of money from the Dubai account to other individuals, including a warlord, a mercenary and a one-time hit man. The story sounded preposterous, I told my source. And yet. Six months later, I found myself speaking with someone else about the UAE government and their use of mercenaries in conflicts around the Middle East and Africa when I asked, on a whim, whether they knew anything about Kushner and bank transfers from a UAE account. My acquaintance grew quiet. Then they replied, ‘Yes.’” Kushner’s lawyer denied the bank account existed.

If you’re reading this from a peaceful country, Please appreciate your ordinary, boring Friday. Somewhere in Ukraine, someone would give everything to have one.

The Trump administration ignorance is staggering. There is no excuse…

We could all use a Mark Carney right now. Just listen to the man. While Musk interferes in Canadian politics and Starlink raises serious questions about technological sovereignty, Carney is investing in Canadian alternatives. This is what leadership looks like. No grovelling, no desperate attempts to flatter billionaires, and no surrendering national security to the whims of one man. Europe, take notes.

Ukraine gave up a nuclear arsenal valued at over $1 trillion dollars, including 4,500 nuclear warheads. Guess who asked Ukraine to do this? We did! The United States of America did and we guaranteed the security of Ukraine. We signed this agreement in 1994.

In what world is Putin a "humanitarian?” He's assassinated political rivals and journalists, bombed hospitals, and started a war that has intentionally killed tens of thousands of innocent people, including women and children. He's a war criminal.
