friends, need your superpowers to move this to the finish line. will you help me to close today’s $50 gap? i am helping the Memorial project from Ukraine that documents stories of Ukrainian heroes and civilians killed by russia www.victims.memorial

Dit is de juiste toon.

Russian masscres of civilians only happen because the West keep allowing them. Russia is a terror and crime syndicate that has been given freedom to act with impunity. Ukrainian civilians, children, pay the price.

Naturally, according to Witkoff, the quickest way to stop a robbery is to let the burglar finish looting every house in the neighborhood he couldn’t reach. And, apparently, the fastest way to stop a serial killer isn’t to jail and punish him - but to bring him more victims for massacring.

This is how Kaganovich talked about Stalin.

He's been "pissed off," "not happy," and "very angry," but so far, U.S. President Donald Trump is yet to take any concrete action to force Russian President Vladimir Putin to agree to a full ceasefire. Meanwhile, Russian attacks against Ukraine have continued in devastating fashion.

Sad but true.

Just got to the Mall and saw this sign, which no one is going to top. #HandsOff2025

🕯️A Russian attack on a playground in Kryvyi Rih took the lives of nine children. Local authorities declared three days of mourning.

⚡️Belarusian journalist in Czechia uncovered as Russian agent by intelligence. Czechia has sanctioned Belarusian journalist Natalia Sudliankova and ordered her to leave the country on April 3, following an investigation by intelligence that found she was working as an agent for Russia.

Bingo

Whoever is running this account - chapeau!

When a decision-maker is not blessed with intelligence, their decisions show it. #bully #tarrifs

I spoke to an expert in authoritarianism, who explained to me that things like this are extremely meaningful and they help protect democracy, even if there’s not a straight line between this and actual legislating

Russia's targeted missile strike on Kryvyi Rih killed four civilians and left many injured. All necessary services are on-site, providing aid - Zelensky said. "This is terrorism. The only way to stop it is with sufficient pressure on Moscow. The world must act—America, Europe, and all partners."

Let God get this straight: - Trump admin deported a father of 3 to the Supermax prison - They now admit he is an innocent person - But they say he has to stay there now because they can’t get him out ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!? This is EVIL cannot be allowed to stand!!!

🇬🇪 stay strong!

NEW: GlobalX flight attendants were told they would fly rock bands, sports teams and sun-seekers. Then the company started expanding into deportation flights. “They didn’t tell us these people were going to be shackled, wrists to fucking ankles.”

Even though this is repeated again and again, many still do not understand the full scale of the potential disaster the EU will face if Ukraine is abandoned #donatetoukraine #eudefense

How about a UN-led government in Russia, till it stops being a threat to international peace and security? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

1/ Tuberculosis has become rife on Russia's front lines, with thousands of soldiers being treated for infections. The disease has spread from conscripted prisoners, but many men are being sent back to the trenches untreated or are simply not being sent for treatment at all. ⬇️

Atlantic publishes the details that Tulsi claimed under oath did not include specific attack information. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Every day brings more evidence of how “peace seeking” this terrorist state really is.

“Peace demonstrators” in the Netherlands falsely claim to represent Ukrainian voices while campaigning against the Ukrainian government and aid for Ukraine.

The art of breaking a deal 😁 #notmyally

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

Reagan on trade wars: "Protectionism is being used by some American politicians as a cheap form of nationalism. A fig leaf for those... who lack the resolve to stand up to real enemies... Our peaceful trading partners are not our enemies. They are our allies. We should be aware of the demagogues".

He was a few months ahead of himself.

Trump's Ukraine policy right now: let's make Ukraine surrender to russia while also giving us some resources. And let's get rid of Zelensky because my friend Putin doesn't like him and also because he didn't submit to me like all the Republicans did a long time ago.
