🔴 I've never been the biggest fan of Justin #Trudeau, but his speech was amazing. This is just a short part of it. Donald #Trump is burning bridges left and right and is steering the US into a future that is appearing darker and darker. #Canada🇨🇦

🔵🟡 This deal would be a big mistake in my opinion. It's time for #Europe🇪🇺 and other countries to stay united behind #Ukraine🇺🇦. I hope Zelenskyy will find another way. Don't seek help from a country run by and for the wealthy. They will betray you. They will betray you...
A couple of days after leaving the White House without an agreement, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy told reporters that his country is ready to sign a minerals deal with the US.

The most destructive fire in Southern California history was the 2003 Cedar fire in San Diego with 2,820 structures destroyed.

The #Eaton fire in Pasadena threatens 28,000.

Unstable trees - aka drunken forest - at the edge of a thaw lake in interior Alaska. As more permafrost thaws at the edges of the lake, it will erode into the forest, flooding and killing the trees.

When you view Mount Rushmore against the background of the sacred Black Hills site which it desecrated, you realize how hideous and pathetic it is. Truly a vulgar monstrosity.
