On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

How people survive in Kostiantynivka amid constant Russian air attacks.

The Russian army strikes the city with drones, artillery, and air bombs. The people who still remain there cook food over open fires, no longer react to drones, and hide from shelling in the basements of shattered buildings.
