Over on FB & the eX, PMC's team posted a riposte to the Great Lake name change agenda of the Southern cousin.

They are either stooping to the trolling level of DJT, or they just gave the bully a monster wedgie. Either way, using the word 'hydronym' is very sly 😉

This photo is the very essence of what totalitarian russia has become as a result of their own actions.

They went out of their heads, pursuing maniacal ideas, and it blew their heads off.

Great story!

It reminds me of the Hanson brothers from 1977's Slapshot. And the Quebecer (see the thread) is the gravy on the poutine 😎
In the 1970s, displaying Ukrainian symbols in the USSR was risky.

But Ukrainians abroad kept their identity alive. The Winnipeg Cossacks proudly wore their Ukrainian heritage for all to see.

So 💔...

At some point, a reckoning & balance of Madame Justice's scales will come for 🇷🇺, and a reckoning it will be.
Rescuers in Kyiv's Darnytskyi district pulled a 12-year-old girl's body from a destroyed apartment building. She is the fifth victim of Russia's overnight attack on 14 May. The death toll has since risen to 8, with about 20 missing.

From T Snyder:

'The US has just spent billions of dollars to lose a war that enriches its oligarchs... and strengthens its enemies. As justification for the self-destructive mindlessness, the White House gestures towards Jesus and genocide.'

Tru dat 🖖
This 1952 memo from the Pentagon UFO files is superb

There is no point preparing for aliens ‘because no one of consequence is going to take this rubbish seriously unless it happens. At that point, our policy will be determined in the traditional manner of grand panic.’ 🤣

Finding an end to this conflict is like hoping to see a 🦄...

Yet each morn I rise with that same hope. The only way to get there is to get there.

🤨 Russia rejected Europe’s role in Ukraine peace talks with an expletive, FT reports.

A senior aide to Vladimir Putin, Yuri Ushakov reportedly told French officials to “go to hell” when they suggested Europe join negotiations.

Courage in the face of IOC indifference...

I think these are the two girls who medalled with CDN in the biathalon pursuit.
Ukraine won 19 medals and finished seventh at the Paralympics. They weren't at the opening ceremony. They won't be at the closing either.

Russia's team was allowed to compete – and Ukrainian athletes refuse to share the podium with a country that is killing their people.
Ukraine competed, won 17 medals – and will boycott the closing ceremony too, refusing to stand alongside Russia’s Paralympic team
The boycott bookends the entire Games: absent from the opening, absent from the closing, present on the podium.

The warrior boy fever dream of a certain Southern cousin struggles to relate.

The volunteers of 🇺🇦 exist to serve others.

The school boy's fantasy is entirely self serving... 😔
On Ukrainian Volunteer Day, we honor those who made a noble choice to come forward and protect Ukraine.

Thank you for your will, courage and dedication.

Glory to the Heroes🇺🇦

Even more impressive, after crossing the line, she helped the 2nd place finisher (Iryna Bui of 🇺🇦) remove her skis, and then one of the two UA girls grabbed both a 🇨🇦 & 🇺🇦 flag for the medalists.

Outstanding team spirit 💕

To our dear Southern cousin,

At what point do you hold your leaders accountable? Or will this continue indefinitely?

Shit's getting bad 😠

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.
