There goes Putin again -- "defending" "Christian" "civilization" against "globohomo," etc. Putin's fans in the West are as repulsive as the Kremlin itself.
Russia has destroyed a center for children with disabilities in the Poltava region, according to its founder, Anna Andriienko. The "Kolibri" (Hummingbird) center supported children with special needs in their development and their adaptation to life. A direct hit and a devastating fire completely destroyed classrooms and therapy rooms, teaching materials, and rehabilitation equipment—the latter of which was unique in the region.

Just met a woman, a lawful permanent resident from Missouri, who was detained in moldy conditions inside a camp for 6 months. Her husband is a Navy veteran. She’s been in the country for 50 years. What are we even doing. 🤦‍♂️

Боксер Владимир Кличко, брат мэра Киева Виталия Кличко, обратился к оркам: "Это не мы пришли на вашу землю! Это вы убиваете наших детей, бомбите и сравниваете с землей наши города и дома! Имперскими амбициями, вторжением в Украину и варварством вашей так называемой армии вы посеяли ненависть на века".

Leaked audio from inside ICE detention—woman begs to self deport. Not receiving medication for her severe anemia. Hemoglobin levels so low—doctor said it's life threatening. "I only ask that you deport me," she cries. "I've been waiting 4 months since signing papers—nothing." "I just want to get to Venezuela with my children and my family." "It seems unfair to me that people who want to leave are being held... and people who want to stay are being forced out." Her hemoglobin level of 4.1 g/dL is critically low and life threatening. Carrying a high risk of heart failure, organ damage, and death—without immediate medical intervention such as a transfusion. Every week her deportation officer gives her the runaround making up different excuses for her remaining locked up. And no lawyer will take her case because she's already signed self deportation papers so her case is officially closed. Enderin Briceño is detained at the private GEO Group prison Mochano Valley ICE Facility in Philipsburg, Pennsylvania. Her lawyer Lorena Vargas Hernández doesn’t have an active account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.

Rest in peace to our brothers and sisters in Christ in Sudan as the world looks away 💔😔 they are being persecuted and killed for the same God that we worship and he is the same God that calls us to stand with with them as they suffer and rejoice when one rejoices in 1 Corinthians 12:26. Don't ignore the same body of Christ you claim to be apart of 🔥 #EndChristianPersecution #EndChristianGenocide

Олександр Мацієвський — ім’я, яке має назавжди залишитися в історії України. Український військовослужбовець, який потрапив у російський полон і перед розстрілом не зрікся своєї країни. Його останні слова — «Слава Україні!» — стали символом мужності, гідності та незламності українського народу. 12 березня 2023 року СБУ офіційно підтвердила його особу. Наступного дня Олександру Мацієвському посмертно присвоїли звання Героя України. Його історія нагадує, якою дорогою ціною українці виборюють свободу. Саме такі люди заслуговують на пам’ятники у наших містах, на шану наступних поколінь і на те, щоб їхні імена ніколи не були забуті. Ми повинні розповідати дітям, ким був Олександр Мацієвський і чому його останні слова стали частиною української історії. Його життя обірвали окупанти, але його мужність залишилася в пам’яті народу. Олександр Мацієвський. Герой України. Вічна пам’ять і шана. Героям слава!

8 Marines flew across six states to a quiet terminal in Montana to say a final goodbye to a fellow aged soldier. Bishop, a Belgian Malinois, served with them in Afghanistan for 7 grueling months. He walked ahead, logging 9 trained alerts and 9 microseconds where his sudden stillness froze the line behind him. One Marine said he has two children today because of this dog. Thank you for your service, Bishop! 🫡🇺🇸🫡🇺🇸 Good morning X.

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦‼️ GARRY KASPAROV ACCUSES TRUMP’S INNER CIRCLE OF BEING PAID TO ADVANCE KREMLIN INTERESTS, TARGETING KUSHNER AND WITKOFF! Russian opposition figure and former world chess champion Garry Kasparov has sharply criticized Jared Kushner’s proposal concerning European security, comparing it to the demands Moscow presented to the West in late 2021. “Jared Kushner’s proposal on European security is nothing more than a translation of the ultimatum issued by the Kremlin at the end of 2021. It is clear why. Money has changed hands. This entire Trump circle, including Kushner and Witkoff, was being paid.” Kasparov also accused Trump’s associates of attempting to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy before the incoming Congress could scrutinize their activities. “Now they are desperately trying to get things done and put pressure on Zelenskyy before the new Congress turns its attention to them. I am eagerly awaiting the moment when Kushner and Witkoff begin explaining the details of their negotiations with Putin before Congress.” 🔥 Kasparov’s accusations reflect deep concerns among some Russian opposition figures about the direction of U.S. negotiations with Moscow. His allegations of financial payments and corruption are serious but remain unsubstantiated by evidence presented in these remarks. The central issue is whether any proposed European security arrangement would protect Ukraine’s sovereignty or accommodate Russia’s longstanding demands for restrictions on NATO and European security policy.

An 8-year-old boy—living with his uncle after his father was deported—showed up for a scheduled immigration appointment because his family wanted to follow the law. ICE took him into federal custody and separated him from his family. This is the cruelty of mass deportation and the Trump administration’s immigration policy. It violates our values and who we are as a nation. America deserves better. op: @kpbs

As a former US Capitol Police Officer, current detective, and future prosecuting attorney, I can say from my soul that this person is a stain on our national soul.
Trump: I pardoned the J-Sixers. I don't think any group has been treated more unfairly than them. Ross Douthat: Even the ones who attacked police officers? Trump: There were some who got rough, but [capitol police] were rough to them too.

Police arrest Black woman—volunteering at free food giveaway for needy. She was in the street just directing traffic. "Why am I being arrested?" she asks. "Pedestrian in the road," cop says. "You're under arrest—I don't need consent." The food drive for people in need led by Community Movement Builders—a community run organization. They operate a Survival Program that distributes food and offers utility assistance to neighborhood residents. Incident occurred in Atlanta's historic Pittsburgh neighborhood. Brittney Ducket Williams was held overnight before being released on bond.

88 years ago today, on Kristallnacht, the Nazis in Germany ransacked Jewish homes, businesses, and synagogues simply because they were associated with Jews. Yesterday, hundreds of anti-Jewish Americans in Philadelphia targeted Jewish-owned businesses. As disgusted as I was at the anti-Jewish demonstration — further confirming that “Antizionism” has been co-opted by antisemites — I am grateful for the outpouring of support from Americans of all backgrounds, who understand that hate against one is hate against all and that we must unite together to defeat this anti-Jewish racism.

Trump: "Zelensky and putin have so much hate for each other.'' Zelensky hates putin for trying to commit genocide against Ukraine. putin hates Zelensky for resisting it. That's the difference.
