I’m sorry, this is absolute bullshit…..
It’s a slap in the face to Ukrainians and democracy everywhere, this is a toddler murdered in their stroller by Russia
Steve Witkoff said the forces that did this are run by a "great humanitarian"
Russia filmed itself bombing a bread line in Ukraine. It was intentional and then they bombed the survivors. Here’s the evidence, including Russia’s own:
1) 1 November, 15:32: the Komyshuvakha council’s Telegram channel announces a bread handout for Monday, 10:00 to 12:00, “in the anti-radiation shelter” at the school. It’s routine: same place, same time, every week.
3) 2 November, about 10–11 am: two guided bombs hit the school grounds. People run into the shelter. Then a FAB-3000, three tons and nearly 1.5 tons of explosive, a bunker-buster, hits the shelter directly. Six more bombs follow as police and rescuers arrive.
3) 40 dead (Ukraine’s State Emergency Service, 4 Nov). Among them: two rescuers, four police officers, the two women who ran the aid point, a construction crew, and the wife of the village council head.
4) Russia’s own drone filmed it. The pro-war channel Iznanka posted the footage, calling it a “128th Brigade deployment point”. The same channel puts that exact label on strike after strike in this sector: Zarichne, Novooleksandrivka, Komyshuvakha in May. It’s a template.
5) Then the Defence Ministry: “up to 25 servicemen”. Then Rossiyskaya Gazeta: drone operators in a bunker, “exposed” by a Ukrainian pundit’s TV interview. No clip. No date. No channel.
6) Ukraine’s National Police released bodycam footage from an officer killed in the strike. After the first bombs: “Glide bombs heading for Komyshuvakha!” “Quick, into the shelter!” “More glide bombs, right?” “Yes.” Then it hits.
7) The UN mission: either Russia knew about the aid distribution, or it “failed to take basic steps to learn what was happening.” The attack “seems to have violated the most fundamental principles of international humanitarian law.”
Strike to drive people underground. Strike the shelter. Strike the rescuers. This is cold-blooded murder of civilians by Russia.

You can tell she really fucking hates republicans, which is more important to me than any single policy position she could’ve taken

My mom passed away from cancer when I was eight.
Both of my parents were doctors, and I've often thought about what my family went through during those years.
Peter is helping his mom fight cancer. Along the way, he's built a free AI skill that helps families navigate the overwhelming amount of medical information and prepare for the decisions ahead.
I find it incredible that this kind of help is now possible. Even more incredible that Peter is making what he's built available to anyone who needs it.
This is one of the most meaningful uses of AI I've seen.

Since I shared that I was helping my mom fight cancer, I've learned a lot about what a caregiver can do.
Here's my new video where I walk through 5 steps that I'm taking and what I wish I'd known sooner.
The sad reality is that 2 in 5 people in the US will get cancer in their lifetime. If you include caregivers, pretty much every family is impacted.
This is my attempt to share what I've learned with anyone going through the same thing. I hope you find it useful.
