I find this very moving: a 10-year-old Ukrainian boy who moved to the West of Ireland 2 years ago as a refugee, speaking in Irish of his love of playing Irish music

Freedom of Movement was robbed from us by a successful Russian influence operation and the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history. Please repost if you want it restored.

I would rather put out my eyes.

Glory to Ukraine.

Appointing Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence will be a blatant act of treason, handing over that office to a person who acts as a Russian propaganda asset.
