Trump's "peace plan" for #Ukraine is really about the #US and #Russia gutting it like a trout. And kicking the #EU in the balls to boot. It's demeaning, insulting, and malevolent. IOW, classic Trump/Putin.

Tell the feds: Nature is in the national interest
Previews of Canada’s 2025 budget are conspicuously missing nature investments. Tell Canada: Protecting and restoring nature is the real national interest project.

Trump wants all countries to close their borders.
Okay: let's all close our borders... TO THE USA.
There's 340M of them, and 8B of the rest of us.
We can do without 'em.

I stand with Cheryl.
No citizen should be forced to restrict their movements because of death threats.
Hit them where it hurts - insist on a police detail with her when she's out canvassing thus increasing the taxes they'll need to pay for police.

Hi #stationery folks.
I'm looking for a 3- or 6-hole punch, with 19mm (3/4") spacing. The trick is, the holes need to be only 3.5mm (5/32") diameter.
Like a filofax personal, but with smaller holes.
Anyone know of such a beast?
