For high school kids across the civilized world, summer vacation means fun, trips to the beach and all night video game sessions. For the kids of Kyiv, it means all night missile attacks, explosions, sleeping in shelters, and shattered lives. But our kids are unbreakable.

But everyone relax, Bibi's kid is safe in Florida dodging the war and catching some rays and going to totally bitchin' parties.

Ukrainian forces destroyed a large Russian column near Yablonivka on the Kostyantynivka front — 23 units of heavy equipment (MT-LBs, tanks, BMPs), along with quads and motorcycles were eliminated.

Ah yes, another casual 40°C on the overnight GFS. The frequency of these extreme hot runs is becoming a bit bizarre now, whilst unlikely, it does feel like it's only a matter of time before we reach or perhaps exceed the all time record again.

❗️🇨🇦Canada has imposed sanctions on more than 200 vessels of 🇷🇺Russia's so-called "shadow fleet." Restrictions have also been imposed on a number of individuals and more than 40 organizations both in and outside Russia.

😳 OVA shows video of Russian terrorists attacking shopping malls in Zaporizhzhia. ❗️Six hits by Shaheds in shopping malls alone.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

Thank you to the 379 MPs, including 63 @libdems.org.uk MPs, who voted to uphold bodily autonomy today, and the rights of some of the most vulnerable women in society.

It’s a truism that civilian casualties are inevitable in war. Let’s examine it: ❌ russia started an unprovoked war: all civilian deaths stem from that original crime ❌ russia deliberately targets civilians; 🇺🇦 doesn't ❌ 97% of casualties are in 🇺🇦-controlled areas (UN report below)

🇬🇧🇺🇦 Zelensky: We coordinated with Keir Starmer our positions to achieve a lasting peace. We discussed that in order to force Russia to end this war, sanctions coordinated with all G7 countries. In addition, our priority is to strengthen air defense - air defense systems and missiles for them.

NEW: The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that a 2021 censorship law can't be used to ban teaching about race and gender in Oklahoma's higher education institutions. This is a win for academic freedom and the First Amendment.

It's been ten years since the shooting at the Mother Emanuel AME Church. That’s: 10 missed birthdays 10 missed Christmas gatherings 10 years of missed weddings 10 years of missed baby showers Ten years of missed celebrations with love and laughter that nine families will never get back.

❗️A couple stands in front of a destroyed house in 🇺🇦Kyiv, where their son remains trapped under the rubble.

That’s exactly what this is about. Distraction. For all of this and that lame duck, low energy spectacle

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

After three years of limited measures and political hangovers, the European Union has laid out a legal roadmap to cut off all remaining imports of Russian fossil fuels by the end of 2027.

Senator Mike Lee posts prayers when a Republican has an allergic reaction but posts jokes when a Democrat is murdered in their home. He’s going to Hell.

🇺🇦🌐 Zelensky: Speaking at the G7 summit, I emphasized that Russia is ignoring any diplomatic proposals from the international community. Diplomacy is currently in a state of crisis. And there is one clear reason - Putin has openly rejected every peace initiative.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

❗️Today, the 🇷🇺Russians attempted a large-scale offensive in the direction of Konstantinovka. As a result, the 🇺🇦Ukrainian military destroyed about 15 units of Russian armored vehicles.

Banks pledge almost a trillion £ in fossil fuel investment Everyone involved in these deals is complicit in murder As I have mentioned a few times, the world is now going backwards, as corporations and governments turn away from #climate action Desperate times www.theguardian.com/business/202...

So extremely proud to work with such talented litigators. This is a massive and critical win. www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/breaking-n...

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Ukrainian FM Andriy Sybiiha on Russia’s latest massive strike: “Putin is deliberately targeting civilians during the G7 summit—a clear signal of complete contempt for the U.S. and partners calling for an end to the violence. Russia rejects diplomacy while bombing Kyiv.”

15 civilians were killed by a Russian missile strike in Kyiv; 114 were injured or wounded, 68 of them hospitalized.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov had told reporters last week that a third round of discussions would take place “very soon.”

ICE throws gas at protesters who immediately cone it then use boards to help fan the gas back at ICE.

I make that third run in row by ECMWF model to being near record June heat (mid 30s). Worthy of attention.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Tonight, air defense destroyed 167 aerial targets used by Russia to attack Ukraine. The strike mainly targeted the Poltava region. This month alone, Russia has already used around 2,800 attack drones, nearly 3,000 guided aerial bombs, and 140 missiles of various types against Ukraine.

www.theguardian.com/society/2025... Truly awful reporting here by The Guardian. The fact that 38 men in the manosphere thought that it was just banter and open debate shouldn't be reported as 'overblown fears'

⚡️'Spit in face' — Zelensky condemns Russia's mass attack, dismisses Putin as peacemaker. "This is Russia's spit in the face of everything the international community is trying to do to stop this war ... At the same time as Putin tries to portray himself as a mediator for the Middle East."

🇫🇷 "I do not believe that Russia, which is currently involved in a high-intensity conflict and has not respected the UN Charter for several years, can be a mediator," — Macron said on Trump's idea of ​​making Putin a mediator between Israel and Iran.

New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.

A "two week" deadline imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump to see if Russia is serious about peace in Ukraine has come and gone, with Moscow's escalation of attacks on civilians during this period failing to draw the slightest condemnation from the White House.
