Long after history has buried sniveling cowards like Donald Trump and JD Vance, we will honour the strength, character, and fighting spirit of President Volodymyr Zelensky, the true Leader of the Free World. Long live Ukraine. #SlavaUkraini 💙💛🇺🇦

Wheels are coming off for Taylor Fritz as the Carlos Alcaraz velvet hammer takes over, alternating booming groundstrokes with delicate dropshots and starting to take Fritz's legs.

I have no idea what kind of half-assed ceremony this was supposed to be, but I hope every Republican hears it and feels it. Trump's "record poll numbers" claims sound more pathetic and demented with each passing day.

Same old story for Ben Shelton, going too big at the wrong time and making mental errors on big points when he had the chance to take the second set. Too bad. #ATPFinals

In the last election, Canadians made it clear that Pierre Poilievre's brand of rage-and-complaint politics was not what they wanted. So what does the Conservative Party of Canada do in response? Go full MAGA freak. #cdnpoli

Barging into office, yelling from Conservative leadership ‘sealed the deal’ on defection: d’Entremont | CBC News
Nova Scotia MP Chris d’Entremont says the barging into his office and yelling from Conservative Party leadership ‘sealed the deal’ on his choice to cross the floor to the Liberals earlier this week.

The rich are full of shit. Call their bluff and tax them fairly. They'll -- my god -- be slightly less obscenely rich, and of course they'll stay and keep bitching.

Elena Rybakina with her biggest win since Wimbledon 2022. Outstanding display of power tennis. Not often Aryna Sabalenka is out-hit off the ground, out-served, and out-returned. And now the mixed Rybakina feelings on seeing her over at the players box. Happy for her, not for that asshole. #WTAFinals

Rybakina and Sabalenka are hitting each other with haymakers. If I was taking the court against either of them, I'd be wearing a helmet. #WTAFinals

Musetti is spreading the court so effectively against Djokovic so far, exactly what you want to do against an older player who can still cover ground but who can't get out of the corners with as much spring as he once could. #Athens250

Elena Rybakina is playing some serious tennis, taking out Jessica Pegula in an error-filled but intriguing match. JPeg just couldn't get Rybakina on the run enough and she was always going to lose a head-to-head power match-up against the bigger hitter. #WTAFinals

If this was put forward as an account of conditions in a Nazi concentration camp, we'd nod gravely and think, "those poor people ... never again." This is America, and this is now.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Listen to this poor kid, afraid that Donald Trump's secret police will drag his parents away and he'll never get to see them again. This child's suffering makes MAGA happy. It's evil.
Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.”

With Pierre Poilievre as leader, the Conservative Party of Canada simply cannot hide the fact that they are MAGA North and swoon at Donald Trump's idiocy, no matter how much they try. That realization is dawning on PP and his rage goblins, per @theomoudakis.bsky.social. #cdnpoli

Mamdani quoting Jawaharlal Nehru and then absolutely tearing into Donald Trump. This really does feel like the dawning of a new era. Do we dare to hope that the Trump Dark Ages might soon give way to an American Renaissance? Riveting stuff.
