16-year girl evacuated from #Mariupol told her stories. "We went to the bathroom, slept, ate the leftovers at the same basement. One day, uncle Kolya caught a pigeon. It was 5th or 6th day. We fried it and ate. And then we all threw up" 1/6 #MariupolGenocide

All those sanctions don't mean anything if you don't go after the core: oil and gas. Without an embargo, Russia may make $100 billion *more* this year. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Canada will be the first to donate, with a proposed $1 billion Canadian dollars ($795 million).

Today's last look: If Putin's goal is to restore the lost glory of the Soviet empire, the war in Ukraine shows how little Moscow has actually gotten from cultivating a sphere of influence in the former USSR.

“I’m so relieved today, I’m so joyful,” says French philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy, reacting to Macron’s re-election: “We avoided the worst. Marine Le Pen was a real disaster.” He adds, “the situation is dark” with Le Pen increasing her vote share, but Macron blocked her “brilliantly.”

All the too-cool-for-school kids who say "I don't approve of Russia's invasion, but I can't stand the cult of Zelensky" need to realize that real heroes aren't Harry Potter characters, they're just flawed imperfect human beings defending themselves.

Video of an apparent Ukrainian attack on a Russian tank on 6 May is getting much attention for the turret's attempt to go to the Moon. It should be getting a lot more attention, though, for where it happened and what this means for Russia. A short 🧵. /1

Three months into Putin's genocidal total war on Ukraine, Putin's Global Rescue Team is assembling again. Heads of state, media, pundits, all the usual suspects eager to preserve a horrific status quo & sacrifice thousands of Ukrainian lives, and call it peace. 1/13

#ICYMI Globalnews.ca: 50 of Poilievre’s most recent YouTube videos include tag MGTOW. "Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW)...have a serious problem with feminism. To them, feminist movement has all but ruined our society...because women have been programmed to ruin a man's life." VICE

This morning I asked Pierre Poilievre a very simple and straightforward question about this morning's revelation that his YouTube channel uses misogynistic tags to attract views from demographics that resonate with these terms. He ignored my question. #cdnpoli

This wasn’t by accident. This was strategy. Unsurprising to see Pierre Poilievre seeking support from anti-women groups, while women & girls around the world fight for their rights, freedom and safety. We will always stand up for the rights of women— in Canada and abroad.

Stephen King, unlike Elon Musk, understands what's going on. #StandWithUkraine

Exercise can affect your unborn children's genes by altering the chemistry of DNA in sperm and egg cells. Aerobic exercise for 3 months altered sperm DNA by silencing genes linked to the risk of autism, OCD, Alzheimer’s, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and atherosclerosis.

This is called transgenerational epigenetic inheritance. Animal studies have shown that exercise-induced genetic changes are a direct factor driving beneficial changes to offspring’s brain physiology, cognition, neurogenesis, & mitochondrial activity. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25864559/
