.@doniveson in 2015 a wildlife photographer friend said to me re: LUCY, "The animal is broken in body and spirit." Where's your conscience?

BASH: What's the crime?
AG TODD BLANCHE: What's the crime? Well it depends. There *could* be a crime. But the real wrong here is that Alaskans are gonna be confused.
BASH: The Alaskan Supreme Court ruled 4 months ago on this matter

New: Sources from three countries confirm that the Trump Administration has advocated Viktor Orbán for UN Secretary-General.
The US has encouraged Orbán to enter the race, even bringing him the initial idea of a joint U.S.-Russia-China candidacy.

America's trade war with Canada has obviously backfired, both economically and politically. But Trump is likely to double down on it after the midterms.
When he does, Canadians will be thankful they aren’t quite as dependent on America as they used to be.

There's perhaps no clearer example of Canadians protesting with their wallets than the massive drop in visits to America
Canadian tourist spending in the US has fallen 24% since 2024, mirrored by a 24% rise in non-US tourism spending

Canada's non-US exports are near record highs, up 42% over the last year alone
Rising commodity prices have provided major tailwinds, but growth is occurring across a wide array of countries & industries—exports to the UK are up 195%, exports to China 52%, exports to the EU 42%

NEW from me:
Last year, Mark Carney set a goal to double Canada's non-US exports by 2035. Today, he's already halfway there
In response to Trump's tariffs & threats, Canadian businesses, consumers, & even tourists are taking difficult steps to decouple from the US🧵

Scott Reid on rumours a Canada-U.S. trade deal is close: "I think what we're seeing is voters are telling American leaders, don't do this. Don't screw with Canada. It's not a good idea."

In a little-noticed webpage update, the Environmental Protection Agency has announced a plan to decommission its online web archive at the end of the year, a move that would wipe tens of thousands of publicly available environmental resources from the web. motherjones.com/environment/…

A giant of the Mara has fallen.
Fred, an iconic Mara Tusker, was found dead today of natural causes. Well into his fifth decade, Fred served as a symbol of the success @KWSKenya and Mara Elephant Project achieved in combatting ivory poaching over the last 15 years.
Fred’s counterparts didn’t live to see old age. How lucky we are that he did.
Collared since 2013, his tracking informed an approach that other Tuskers across Kenya benefited from. Even in death, Fred is the emblem for the Maasai Mara’s magic; thriving despite the challenges and contributing to a brighter future.
He will be missed, but what a life well lived.
We will be remembering Fred in the coming days. Stay tuned for more opportunities to join us in celebrating the life of this gentle giant.

Lula victory speech:
"We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate.
We cannot have monstrously huge corporations earning millions & billions, paying no taxes to this country & trying to steer this country's election results."
If they're crossing the border into 🇨🇦 waters, our Coast Guard should chase them out or sink them.
They're not just asserting power or bullying. They're testing 🇨🇦 defences.
It's what Russia regularly does when 🇨🇦&🇺🇸 NORAD fighter jets drive theirs away from our Arctic airspace
“This is a huge slap again to Canada on our sovereignty, and the lack of communication,” said Mike Bradley, who saw the unusual watercraft, and wondered what it was.
"Sarnia Mayor Bradley raises concerns as U.S. deploys drones on Great Lakes waterways."

The orange moron doesn't get that the US having a goods & services trade deficit with Canada—it's only $27B, not 90B as he lies—doesn't mean we're ripping off the US or the US 'subsidizes' us. 🙄 He's so stupid.
It's due to 🇺🇸 demands for 🇨🇦 energy—oil, natural gas, electricity.
🔥 President Trump is practically STANDING on the Canadian border in Port Huron, Michigan, going after PM Mark Carney
"Canada has been making $90 BILLION a year off us for years and years. They've taken advantage of our country, but we're getting close to a deal.”
“I love Canada! I love everything about it — other than some of the leaders.”

📺On October 25, 1975, ‘The Mary Tyler Moore Show’ aired ‘Chuckles Bites the Dust,’ one of television’s most iconic sitcom episodes. When Chuckles the Clown dies in a bizarre parade accident, Mary Richards is appalled by her coworkers’ jokes, until she attends his funeral and finds herself unable to stop laughing.
The episode won an Emmy for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series and was ranked #1 on TV Guide’s 1997 list of the 100 Greatest TV Episodes of All Time

BASH: The worry is that we end up in a situation where President Trump tries to overturn the election and the result of that could be like what we saw after January 6--
BLANCHE: Stop it! You gotta stop it with that! That's crazy
BASH: This is a president who has a history

I have just spoken by phone with the leaders of the Students' List @studentblokade, who won the elections in Serbia, to congratulate them on their victory. I assured them of Hungary’s support. I was delighted to hear how much strength our victory in April had given them during this difficult struggle.

Huge respect to the organizers, activists and voters of Brazil and Serbia. These results are due to so much work and they give us so much hope. There is nothing inevitable about the far right.

Imho: Make of this what you may, the Trump regime now scrambling to avoid midterm election defeats seems to be willing to "say" all kinds of things, but whether it can be trusted to negotiate in good faith, and then honour an agreement, only time will tell. 🤠🍁🦉
