1 September marks the first bell across Ukraine. Schools adapt with in person, blended, or online learning depending on safety. Thanks to the Armed Forces, children can still open their books. Each lesson is a sign of resilience and faith in the future. Art: Mariia Poliakova
Ils avaient rêvé d’un village de pêcheurs, d’une crique tranquille, d’un lieu « préservé ». Ils ont trouvé des parkings pleins, des drones au-dessus des falaises, et une queue pour accéder à la plage. Le tourisme de masse a changé d’échelle : il déborde. ➡️ https://l.franceculture.fr/Smo

It has now been SIX DAYS since Donald Trump has delivered any public remarks. His last public remarks were on August 25th, during a ceremony in the Oval Office. THIS IS NOT NORMAL.
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.

As union membership goes down, more wealth gets transferred up to the top 10% from the working class. There’s a reason why corporations and billionaires spend $400 million per year busting unions.

We may fall into a Trump-caused recession while Carney manoeuvres us through this storm to better waters but under Poilievre we would have gotten into a depression with no better waters ahead. Poilievre is that unqualified; just an angry mouth flapping with no brain behind it.

Reason for U.S. warships near Venezuela's coast?
Poilievre will never be Prime Ministerial; he will forever be prime adversarial. He’s the perfect caricature of a perpetually angry, always aggrieved, evil, inferior, unsuccessful and ineffective opposition leader.
Have you noticed that Cons can’t go one day without trying to disingenuously smear the personal character of PM Carney? Why, you ask? Because they don’t have a single thing they can hammer him on. Personal insults are the lowest, most worthless and most desperate forms of attack.

It’s not even September, but the geese are already on the move. I’m not sure if these guys are heading south or somewhere to feed. We are right on the central flyway, so we get a lot of bird traffic. 7/8
The barn swallows were out in droves, snapping up whatever flying insect they could find over the water. I’m glad I got going before the heat of the day so I could witness all of this activity. 3/
It was a very peaceful paddle. While fishermen use this river to access the lake, it’s not commercial fishing season yet so the boat traffic was almost nonexistent. There were still lots of birds to listen to as they get ready to head south. 2/
Russian representative demonstratively stares at her phone when Ukraine's Prime Minister shows horrific photos of children killed in Russian attacks to the UN Security Council. Ukraine's PM Yuliia Svyrydenko displayed images of 25 civilians killed during the 28 August Russian strike on Kyiv.
Russia kills children from a distance with missiles and drones. Those who fall under its control, it steals — erasing their Ukrainian identity. Russia forges their names, their documents, their entire lives. Children are forced to forget who they are. (Bring Kids Back UA)
Gavin Newsom is exactly right, Trump is doing everything we told you he would do and more. It's time to wake the hell up, America. Authoritarianism is here.
Putin is mocking any kind of peace efforts. The only thing he understands is pressure. This is what we have to do. My doorstep ahead of the informal meetings of EU Defence and Foreign Ministers ↓

The vast majority of Canadians support bans on handguns and assault rifles. A reminder that Pierre Poilievre has voted against every gun control measure in Parliament since 2004.

I went through this scenario last year. At one point, I decided to ask Rexall in my area. If I recall correctly, the pharmacist told me October. I got the vaccine on Oct 18th, a week in, as apparently the vaccine was not available to all the pharmacies at the same time. Go figure!

On 29 August Ukraine honors the Defenders who gave their lives for freedom. The date recalls the Ilovaisk tragedy of 2014 when Ukrainian soldiers were ambushed in sunflower fields. The sunflower is now the symbol of their sacrifice and Ukraine’s unbroken will to resist and win.
