Thank you Senator #ElizabethWarren, who is demanding an investigation into #SpaceX after Elon #Musk acknowledged he had blocked #Ukraine from extending the private #Starlink satellite network for an attack on Russian warships near the Crimean coast.
“The Congress needs to investigate what’s happened here and whether we have adequate tools to make sure foreign policy is conducted by the government and not by one #billionaire,” the Massachusetts Democrat said Monday at the Capitol.

Hey Ontario...

This nails it. Wish I had said it, but I didn't, so I'll give credit where credit is due: "If Russia stops fighting, there's no more war. If Ukraine stops fighting, there's no more Ukraine."
PS: Russian general is *on the record* this week: They're not stopping at Ukraine.

ampersine@mastodon.onlineOne of Putin's favorite US Senators, Ron Johnson of #Wisconsin, believes wind turbines are killing whales.
I, on the other hand, believe Ron Johnson seasons all of his food with lead powder.

THIS 👇
"Pierre #Poilievre claims to lead a party that wants to get rid of 'gatekeepers'. What a laugh. Have you seen the things they just voted FOR?
They want to BE the gatekeepers. They will decide for us what we can and cannot do re our bodies, our health, our lives."

Update from the federal Conservative Convention being held in Québec City this weekend.
"The director of the anti-abortion group, Right Now, confirmed their goal is to nominate & elect even more anti-abortion politicians to the House of Commons, with an aim of passing legislation to restrict abortion access in #Canada."

Luckily in Canada we have a Charter of Rights and Freedoms and gender identity and expression is a protected human right, so I think a lot of this could die on the floor of a court room. But it would cause a lot of misery in the process at the very least.

NO Canadian should be surprised when #Poilievre starts rolling back women's reproductive rights.

MatWright@mastodon.socialIf anyone is still under the opinion the Conservative Party of Canada is not made up of Christian Fascists, look no further than the policies adopted at the convention - by overwhelming delegate votes
Conservative delegates voted Saturday to add some new social conservative policies to their policy playbook, including a proposal to limit access to transgender health care for minors and another to do away with vaccine mandates'

raymondpert@mstdn.social#Canada will not recognize ‘sham’ Russian election results in Ukraine, says Trudeau
> He says the elections are “a cynical attempt to legitimize military conquest under the guise of democracy,” and a violation of international law.
Local elections for Russian-installed legislatures began earlier this week in the regions of Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia.
