On this second account I focus my attention to Ukraine. I am doing work locally to stop the total disintegration of our society in the U.S.A. I do not intend to get in the weeds of U.S.A. politics here. It’s been a long 46 years an 🇺🇸 citizen.

Happy Kyiv Day! A city that can't be broken by sirens or attacks A city where chestnut trees bloom despite everything, and where people prove every morning that Kyiv lives, works, and moves forward Here every street has its own story, every resident has their own contribution to the city's strength❤️

People aren’t just complaining about Google's AI search overhaul, they’re leaving. Yesterday alone, our week over week installs surged 30% in the U.S. 🚀 Momentum is growing. It’s time to Fire Google.

Russians trying not to rewrite everyone else’s history challenge: impossible.

(1/3) 🇪🇪 Together with Fotografiska Tallinn, we are raising funds for an evacuation vehicle that will save lives on the front lines in Ukraine 🇺🇦 www.help99.co/patches/make... This campaign is led by Anna-Liisa Palatu @anneliis.bsky.social, Helery Pops, and the team at Fotografiska Tallinn

We struggle with nuance. Understanding the Russian threat requires understanding nuance. This is my attempt at reintroducing some. 👇🏼

If NATO is lucky, they can join Ukraine. Garry Kasparov

​This is 12-year-old Liubava, a 6th-grader. On the night of May 14, a Russian missile strike killed her in her own home, collapsing the building over everyone inside. Eternal memory🕯💔

"we're willing to trade kidnapped children for POWs" is a completely insane admission of guilt

💔 Defender Yevhen Yakovlev ("Ryzhy"), who died at the front in 2023, lived in a destroyed house in the Darnytskyi district of Kyiv. 🕯️ Today, his daughter Lyubava, born in 2013, was found dead from under the rubble. The search for another of his children is ongoing.

In just 30 hours, Russia launched over 1,600 drones and missiles across Ukraine, targeting cities nationwide, including strikes routed through Belarus. 🔗 united24media.com/war-in-ukrai...

Here's the mess of a map of Ukraine, overlaid with approximate routes of everything that hit Ukraine overnight. A ceasefire was agreed. Trump boasted. Russia still refuses to hand over the 1000 prisoners of war. NEVER negotiate with terrorists.

In the last 24 hours, over 1,300 long range attack drones (Shaheds + similar) have been launched by Russia, which has also fired between 40-50 missiles. Rescuers continue to work at the collapsed building in Kyiv where many residents were trapped after the missile attack.

🇫🇷 French Battalion-5: For sure! is at 87% (€48,290.50 / €55,355) With @arnocast.bsky.social & @aurelienduchene.bsky.social we’re on the final stretch — NAFO Trucks & 12 x Anti-shakhed drones for Ukrainian defenders 🇺🇦 www.help99.co/patches/fren... Let’s finish this — boost, donate, share! 💪

Wow

“Someone” on here posted and got traction with: they’re waiting for leftist door knockers to ask them to join a revolution. Think about that. Walk and chew at same time, anyone? Yes: vote. AND fight. All I see on here frankly is is bitching while waiting. Fight, vote, rinse, repeat.

Would be cool if media outlets would do their job and start reporting on the Russian mass slaughter of Ukrainians over the last few days, with them randomly throwing missiles and drones at our towns and cities onto busy streets, in broad daylight, to maximize casualties with zero military objectives

Taxi drivers’ strike/protest in Tbilisi, Batumi, and Kutaisi, demanding better conditions. More demonstrations are planned for today, May 1, the International Workers’ Day. 📷 Publika

🇺🇦 Russians Torture 95% of Ukrainian POWs: Ombudsman Lubinets on Protecting Prisoners’ Rights 💔 "Prisoners are starved, held in cold or overcrowded cells, and denied medication (the largest recorded weight loss is 77 kg over 5 months)." Read more 👀 theukrainianreview.info/russians-tor...

What would happen to all 57 LIV golfers if the tour folds? I don't care. Do you?

15 million Ukrainians require mental health support amid new war-driven crisis, IRC says The IRC assessment estimated 15 million people in Ukraine now need psychological support, with 60% of those seeking help struggling with anxiety and one in five with depression.

This photo just tore me apart honestly . This is kindergarten in Odesa today, after Russian attack. The whole roof just fell . Glass everywhere, heating, everything damaged. 150 kids have been coming here, and senior group was about to have a graduation party, but now it won’t happen.

Friends, fellas, I am fundraising for my June-July visits, and most notably for PACE in Strasbourg and ALDE Congress in Vienna. These visits are some of the most critical infrastructure for the global connectivity of Georgia's democratic forces. 🇬🇪🇪🇺 1/2

Oh look the Roberts Court is gutting more rights. Another day in ‘merica.

🧵 UAE has announced that it is leaving OPEC. What does it mean? ⬇️

Have you seen that Bulwark YouTube video about “DJTJ” being the GOP front-runner for 2028? I’ve never trusted Republicans since birth, should have tolerated them less, and I trust Bulwark folks as far as I can throw them, but their data doesn’t lie: youtube.com/shorts/XDW5F...

🇬🇪🇪🇺 For the 5️⃣1️⃣4️⃣th time (day) in a row we want the world to know, that Georgia’s European future is innavitable!

Trans rights are human rights

Good night, stay safe! 🇺🇦

Multibillionaires are a direct threat to democracy. When there is no regulation preventing endless money from flooding into politics, you no longer have a democracy

Usual morning in Ukraine: people going about their day, cleaning up broken windows after Russian attack, calling their loved ones to check on them and carrying their furry friends they evacuated from their homes Russian drones bombed , and because there is so much glass everywhere . Tuesday

Self reliance indeed ✊🇺🇦

A large crowd as always at the weekly march in Tbilisi. Georgians have been protesting in 8+ cities every day for the last 507 days.

Trump always loudly says he won't help the Russians and then very quietly does just the opposite.

I remain impressed by the people of Ukraine. And unimpressed by just about everyone else.

So that young woman FIDESZ party member saying, “We know there are two genders, and I want that for my family.” 😒 Gender is a construct, can be fluid…AND you can make babies that don’t turn out to be your personal projection! It works better to accept and love who they ARE.

This whole place is just another PSYOP-fest. Posters are like, “…everyone is saying…so telling…” Who/what is “everyone”? #Obfuscation

QUIZ What is a “package store”? #NewEngland

An Israel-Lebanon ceasefire is a weird thing to tout, since Lebanon isn't a combatant. There is no Lebanese fire for the Lebanese government to cease.

Necessity: The Mother of INVENTION ✊🇺🇦

Turned on NBC. They talked about “President tipping a DoorDash driver $100”. This woman participated in GOP ads before playing other roles. There is no DoorDash deliveries to the Oval Office. Please exercise proper judgement when consuming news.

4 years ago, the first russian warship went to go f*ck itself. Many followed after. What started as a single audacious act of resilience turned into a rule: no russian fleet must be allowed in the Ukrainian seas. Many of you contributed to implementing it. Happy anniversary🚤

Russian FPV drone just bombed emergency medical team responding to a call in Kherson. An ambulance car was damaged , paramedic and a medical technician wounded. They have concussion, early reports say

For the fifth Easter in a row, many Ukrainians have no church to return to — russia left only rubble. Yet even among the ruins, our faith remains unshaken. Remember this, and if you have any empathy left within you, don’t stop standing with Ukraine 💙💛

I bet Hungary’s laws seat their new gov’t immediately vs the nice long coup-window allowed in USA.
