Sorry, I should say: Both the Uvalde *and* the Buffalo shooting are being characterized as false flag operations. Even worse!

It was simply grotesque to see Trump mangling his reading of the Uvalde victims' names, as a cowbell rang and they kept messing up the timing. Then there was the dancing.The idea that the World Economic Forum is some evil and all-power globalist force, hellbent on forcing this New World Order has grown popular amongst right-wing politicians in the U.S, Canada, and Australia.

I still can't get over Trump reading the names of the Uvalde victims like a kill list to the sound of bells at the NRA convention. One of the most fucked up things I've ever seen in my life.

Some more tweets related to the Uvalde massacre:I see that Trump is saying that money should go to schools rather than to Ukraine

Maybe there's enough money to help both ?
Still, this is probably the best he can do at the moment to help his old buddy Putin
rarely does one event expose the emptiness of a political party's arguments as clearly as Uvalde has exposed Republican arguments against action on guns

It was Charlton Heston, one-time celebrity NRA leader, who is remembered for saying something about prying his gun from his cold dead hands. Now, there is this:Republicans’ weakness on guns makes them weak on crime — and it’s causing crime to rise.

i love the argument "well if you make new gun laws, these guys will just get them illegally" as though every would-be school shooter living in his parents' house in suburbia has an extensive network of black market connections that can get him an AR-15 whenever he needs one

Here's a timely trend:The Texas shooter and the shooter at my high school both waited until they were of the legal age. Don’t tell me these laws can’t do anything.

Canada will be improving its gun control laws. I'm hearing the usual sniping about how this legislation is being "rushed" and of course it is - the quicker the better:To rephrase: a number of cities have concluded that the only way to make sure cops don't murder civilians during minor traffic stops is to...not do minor traffic stops at all.

The release of Louise Arbour's report concludes more than a year of work. Among its 48 recommendations is a call for civilian police and courts to handle all sexual assault cases involving allegations against military members going forward.https://t.co/yS4TrVnY5l

We've been begging for this & y'all called us naรฏve. Yet, here we are!
Moving to the latest from Ukraine, I was glad to see that the Ukraine government is telling civilians to move away from the battlefields. I think this should have been happening across southern and eastern Ukraine since February, but at least its finally starting to happen now:I maintain that the Justice Arbour report was not necessary. We knew all this already.
— Julie S. Lalonde (@JulieSLalonde) May 30, 2022
But the last time a Justice report dropped, the Chief of the Defence staff said "Sexual misconduct is a result of biological wiring".
Today's tone couldn't be further from that. PROGRESS!

Here's an interesting Ukraine summary from the Financial Times:Exactly! That's why it is a moral as well as a geopolitical misjudgement for usually sensible and moderate leaders & commentators in the West to be musing aloud about territorial concessions https://t.co/2gUGzbi7K3

The war in Ukraine is essentially being fought on three fronts and among three protagonists. The first front is the battlefield itself. The second front is economic. The third front is the battle of wills. The three participants are Russia, Ukraine and the western alliance backing Ukraine.
The United Nations has released some figures on civilian casualties in Ukraine in the three months of war - they haven't been able to gather numbers in occupied areas, however :We saw training videos on M-113 and t72. My guess is they are fresh formations now committed there.

Kherson is lightly defended compared to the east and a massive opportunity for Ukraine.

Almost every destroyed house that was turned into rubble has 50-100 bodies of people buried under it, adds Boychenko.
