Zelenskyy: "When our strikes reached Yandex data centers, it suddenly became little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. Many people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, fewer provocations because there were fewer bots. It's pretty clear where those bots were coming from.

I am a sucker for the pomp and ceremony around Throne Speeches and what it represents as a constitutional monarchy and Westminster Parliamentary system. And the one by King Charles III had the pomp on steroids. But the content, delivery, and occasion was absolutely essential.

Let’s be clear, what Poilievre is proposing - using the notwithstanding clause to change criminal justice in Canada- IS a step towards authoritarianism. All other things aside, even this alone utterly disqualifies Poilievre as a wannabe tyrant. #cdnpoli #elxn45 #elbowsup #neverCPC
