Kim Jong-un announces North Korea will enter the "conflict" under Article 4 of the North Korea–Russia treaty, officially notifying Moscow. — Yonhap reports. A confirmation of DPRK presence against Ukrainian forces.

Scream at Putin.

That’s what it is. Quotas.

funny how the press never mentions that the war would be over if china, north korea and iran weren't supplying russia with weapons or articles highlighting how poorly russians are doing on the battlefield shame

Another U.S. citizen deported, this time a two-year-old child deported to Honduras. They put the child and her mother on a plane before any process could be followed.

⚡️Zelensky: We would like a 'common understanding that Russia is the aggressor,' not Ukraine. Ukraine would like to have a "common understanding that Russia is the aggressor," President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a wide-ranging interview with American commentator Ben Shapiro released on April 24.

‼️ Such massive combined attacks has been prepared for more than a few weeks. The fact that the order was given after the breakdown of negotiations in London looks like coordinated pressure and coercion for "peace", especially since Trump’s "100 days" coming soon.

1:29 am Missile debris fell in some districts of Kyiv. Now, we have drones. More missiles are expected. A russian answer to all these ‘peace talks’

💯🇺🇦 Sybiha: Yesterday’s Russian maximalist demands for Ukraine to withdraw from its regions, combined with these brutal strikes, show that Russia, not Ukraine, is the obstacle to peace. Moscow, not Kyiv, is where pressure should be applied.

It's a high bar, but this from @radleybalko.bsky.social might be one of the most fucked up things I've read in the new Trump era. For context, this TX lawyer had just had an informal conversation with a family caught up in ICE raids. Seriously. Read this. radleybalko.substack.com/p/the-courag...

The jackbooted thugs are not 'coming,' they are already here.

Russia is quietly rewriting reality — but not through tanks or troops, but by feeding disinformation and propaganda into the tools people may increasingly trust to understand the world: AI chatbots. It's gaming of the system, feeding propaganda in ways that people might never know what’s happening.

🇪🇺 The EU will never recognize Crimea as Russian, — Kaja Kallas She also stated that the US has a whole range of tools to put pressure on Russia, but they do not use them. Regarding Easter truce, Kallas says the Russians did not adhere to it and they really do not want peace.

I try not to swear much on social media (my 100-year-old grandmother saw me swearing once on Facebook a few years back and gave me a proper dressing down in a letter over it), so please understand the depth of my feeling when I say... Fuck. No.

Absolutely devastating reporting from Hana Kiros on what "life-saving aid" has come to mean and not mean, and the many children dying as a result. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

Volodymyr Zelensky said that at least 67 Ukrainian priests, pastors, and monks have been killed or tortured by Russian forces, and that 640 religious sites—most of them Christian—have been destroyed since the start of the full-scale invasion.

Christ is risen! Life is stronger than death. Love is stronger than hate. Hope is stronger than despair. And nothing is impossible with God! Happy Easter! Image: Kelly Latimore

My story breaking this news exclusively was 7K+ words and had almost all of this in it, and more: www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

So 90% of the men sent to El Salvador's torture-prison had no criminal record. 238 men sent total, so that's ~214 sent to die in a foreign torture prison from which no one is ever released without even being so much as *charged with a crime.* Shameful. (www.bloomberg.com/news/article...)

💔 The Russians killed a girl in Dnipro. Another 7 people were injured. Among them is a 9-month-old child, — OVA

Look at how X summarizes the Abrego Garcia story (remembering that he is not MS-13, or guilty of anything at all)

Trump to Bukele: "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough."

Gonna do every newspaper in America a favor and write their headline. It reads: TRUMP DISCUSSES FOREIGN CONCENTRATION CAMPS FOR AMERICAN CITIZENS WITH BUKELE There you go. Don't even need to credit me.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Happy Moskva sinking anniversary to those who celebrate

Typical comment from Russians today… You know, creatures that are lower level than animals don't deserve to live, it's just a fact

OTD in 1990 Soviet Union admitted that Soviet Union carried out Katyn massacre. These are Soviet documents with Stalin personally approving the murder of 22,000 Poles. We blame(d) it on the Nazis. We lie(d). Imagine us committing atrocities today & blaming it on Nazis...

😔 The Russians in Sumy took the lives of the entire Martynenko family - the boy Maksym, who was in the 6th grade, died with his parents.

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.

I want you to realise the scale. UNESCO estimates that the damage caused by russian aggression since 2014 to Ukrainian cultural heritage exceeds $2.6 billion. This looting of Ukrainian museums is believed to be the largest since the Second World War.

Lawlessness and shamelessness.

Day 132 of #GeorgiaProtests!

Eight people in South Sudan, including five children, died on a three-hour walk to seek medical treatment for cholera after US aid cuts forced local health services to close, the UK-based charity Save the Children said reut.rs/3E9kB27

YOU DID WHAT?

If all 8 strategic bombers are fully loaded then this will be another night of 100+ missiles and drones where every civilian feels like they’re lined up for execution and pretty much all you can do is wait for it to be over without any hope for anyone in the west giving a fuck

Every night hundreds of Russian drones and missiles target civilian infrastructure in Ukraine, far away from any combat zone. The amount of aerial vehicles and missiles even increased since the Trump administration has started talking to Putin.
