Our new trading partner (Putin) just blew up a residential neighborhood near Kharkiv and killed 3 people including a kid on his scooter. But hey you guys, we're going to save $0.27 on diesel soon.

There's even more here on second viewing - "we haven't done enough to inform people" that our enemy - Russia - is seeking to disrupt the political process. 🥊 🥊 off!

Ovechkin is to hockey like Leni Riefenstahl is to film--brilliant but tainted. No other Russian hockey star does propaganda videos for Putin. That's Ovechkin's choice. And that's why I'll give celebrating him a hard pass. 🚫 nytimes.com/athletic/7665604…

This little boy loved hockey too. @NHL @Capitals you cannot continue to let #Ovechkin play. @ovi8. Nothing excuses russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine. Lives matter, hockey doesn't. I'm a lifelong fan. @MarkJCarney #Canada must ban & sanction #Ovechkin

❗️A statement from Congressman @RepJoeWilson (R-SC) on Alexander Ovechkin appearing in Putin’s political campaign video. If I'm not mistaken, he’s the first member of Congress so far to react to this.
It is incredibly alarming that @NHL and @Capitals have allowed Alexander Ovechkin to appear in a campaign advertisement supporting the party of war criminal Putin. American hockey fans deserve better leadership from their star players!

A pillar of the community. A person standing next to war criminals as they threaten the West and declare their intention to destroy Ukraine is a pillar of their community. Get fucked, @Capitals, the most despicable sports organization in America.

Ovechkin needs to finally be banned from the NHL. He is an active supporter of the genocide Russia is committing in Ukraine

This Labor Day, we commemorate the protections we enjoy because workers stood up and exercised their power to say no. An income floor would make it easier for workers to reject unfair and unsafe conditions. guaranteedincomeworks.substa…

Q: There are signs Putin will attend G20 in Miami this year. What would you say to Putin at the meeting? PM Carney: My message would be simple: “Get out of Ukraine. Give all of Ukraine back to Ukraine. End this war, which is killing more than 30,000 of your people every month.”

KALLAS: We need to restrict visas for Russians. It is not okay that Russia is bombing Ukraine, killing civilians while Russians are entering EU, and enjoying our hospitality. These tourist visas are also a tool used for acts of sabotage. This is a matter of our security as well.

Russia bombed civilians at record levels this summer. Yet Russians continued to enter and enjoy the hospitality of European countries. It should not work this way. There was broad support today among Foreign Ministers to move with an EU visa entry ban for Russian ex-combatants and tougher visa restrictions on Russian tourists. My press conference with @HMcEntee following today’s meeting of Foreign Ministers ↓

Former British POW Pinner: I wrote a piece yesterday asking when we can start calling war in Ukraine a genocide. Russians won't give back stolen children, use human shields, and kill people daily in Kherson with drones, while international organizations stay quiet. 1/

July was the deadliest month for civilians in Ukraine in at least 2.5 years. russia killed at least 634 civilians and wounded another 4,590. 634 lives. In one month. Why does the world still refuse to call this terrorism? What are you waiting for?
