A new mural has appeared in Ternopil, dedicated to children killed in Russia’s attack.

The artwork, showing a child shielding her toys from a Russian missile, was created by artist Andriy Yermolenko. He described it as “a cry for help to the global community.”

Rescuers in the Kyiv region freed a kitten from the rubble where it was stuck after the russian attack.

The little one had been pinned beneath a heavy concrete slab and was unable to escape by itself.

Russia is pure evil. Georgia, Ukraine, always destroying places and people.

Europe needs to take the money instead of obsessing about it.

I hope it’s now (even more) obvious that having military in our streets, with instructions to ignore “stupid rules of engagement,” is not in any way intended to protect us or make us safer

Is this for real? We are killing people we just suspect of drug trafficking and pardoning convicted drug kingpins?!

He keeps calling it a ballroom but a ballroom is a place for dancing. What he wants is a gilded Holiday Inn banquet room where businessmen can shmooze, grope the waitresses, see and be seen, and cut crooked deals.
“.. What started as a 500-seat ballroom connected to the East Wing grew to 650 seats. Next, he wanted a 999-seat ballroom, then room for 1,350.” 🤡

So Trump just pardoned the former prez of Honduras, who:

-took a $1M bribe from El Chapo:
-was aided his in clemency campaign by Roger Stone
-ran for reelection despite a law against it, thus setting off political violence that killed dozens.

Once again, not a single member of the press corps stands up for their female colleague being verbally abused by the President.

Trump is a historic disgrace, but every single person in that room standing in compliant silence is complicit.
