While the US has put a clown in charge, Canada still has the voice of reason. Listen to Justin Trudeau say it like it is:

This is the 48th president of The United States — Trump’s own Vice President — now calling Trump a liar in front of the entire world.

Trump is losing support by the minute.

@sibrosan it is a requirement on servers run by Mastodon that users disclose the use of AI generated images.

Is the new profile @Em_Quark using an AI generated profile image?

Does anyone know this person from other social media sites, or could this be a fake profile?

A wide range of Danish parties express support for sending peace keeping forces to Ukraine, which aligns Denmark with the UK as it is often the case in international military missions.

However, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen expresses her doubt that peace negotiations will occur, because she does not believe Putin wants peace.

Denmark now increases the military spending by another 10 billion dollars over two years in preparation for a potential military confrontation with Russia.

The new Trump administration have begun their book banning, and Julianne Moore's children's book "Freckleface Strawberry" has been banned, because it teaches children not to be sad that they are different, because everyone is different in some way — and that is just too inclusive to the hate administration.

FINALLY! In Paris, Olaf Scholz has had enough of Trump and draws a clear line:

1. Trump talking about peace negotiations and European troops in Ukraine is “deeply annoying”, “wrong”, and “untimely” because Ukraine is not in peace negotiations but in a war.

2. Germany will keep supporting Ukraine (No matter what Trump does).

3. Ukraine must never be forced to accept peace terms.

4. NATO will still be the corner stone of European defence.

In short: Trump can take his ideas and shove them. 🔥

It appears, UK Prime Minister Starmer still has not understood, the US is out of the alliance. Starmer:

"The UK will work to ensure we keep the US and Europe together. We cannot allow any divisions in the alliance to distract from the external enemies we face."

In my view, the solution is not to fantasize that Trump could be Biden. The solution is to realize that the US that was is gone, and Europe must now carry the torch of freedom on its own.

Trump's administration accidentally fires 300 people from a department handling the US nuclear weapons, then tries to walk back the decision.

This is lethal amateurism, and it will end up getting Americans killed.

Fox News host Pete Hegseth was in NATO, where he claimed that returning Ukraine's territories to Ukraine is "an unrealistic objective".

What an absolute coward.

Putin must be defeated.

"When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on day one", said Trump, and this is what US voters are now facing:

"It is time for every American patriot to stand up"

Wow! Attorney General Kris Mayes has the floor:

The Russian stock exchange rises 6 percent after Putin’s phone call with Trump, and Trump’s remarks about Putin keeping the occupied territories.

The US has lost its role as a world leader.

Imagine if Franklin D. Roosevelt had told Europe, that returning France to its prewar borders was not "realistic", now that Hitler had invaded.

This is how Trump is communicating about Ukraine.

For the rest of our lives, Europeans will remember that 77 million Americans voted for a coward.

I feel sad for every US citizen who really wanted the US to move forward and are now seeing everything falling apart.

And I especially feel sad for the elders — people who remember how fascism brought the world to a breaking point in World War II. People who do not just say “never again” but feel it with every bone in their body. They recognize what the MAGA movement is. They know what is comming.

I hope, Trump can be stopped with peaceful means before it is too late. The people deserve it.

Trump claims the people of Greenland have been treated "very bad" by The Kingdom of Denmark, but the US will take over Greenland which will treat the people very good. So today the Republicans held a Senate hearing about the US annexation of Greenland.

The hearing invited an expert from Texas Mineral Resources who explained how Greenland has natural resources which can be used in American electric car batteries.

Guess who were not invited…

The people of Greenland.

44 million Ukrainians have been attacked by a ruthless dictator. European countries have invested 125 billion euro in defeating Russia. But forget all that, because a Fox News host says that defending democracy is not realistic, and this whole war thing is too expensive anyway.

It is time for the democratic countries to decouple from the failed US leadership and take the lead.

Russia must be defeated.

With all the media people still clinging on to X, I find it refreshing every time I meet some who have moved to Mastodon.

Today I found radio host Bernice Hillier from the Canadian state of Newfoundland and Labrador.

I hope she gets a million followers:

MAGA farmers voting for Trump, only to have USAID shut down, thereby ending the $2.1 billion in food purchases from… American farmers.

#TrumpChaos

All my life I have been listening to the excuse, that the US had to be flooded with weapons, because if a dictator ever came to power, these weapons were the guarantee that the people could defend the US against the dictator.

They did not.

They voted for him.
