Loving the frogs 🐸 as an interested observer from Australia I'm hoping to see many millions of frogs & other characters turning out on Saturday's NoKings. No autocrats, no dictators, no fascists.

This is no longer anger. It's something else.

For several weeks now, I've been focusing much more on news about Russian attacks on Ukrainian hinterlands than on events on the frontline. Perhaps I can briefly explain why this is happening. Firstly, the AFU is effectively halting the long-announced Russian offensive,
