Some say “That’s democracy! Everyone gets a say”
Sure. Except only one side pays the price: physically, emotionally, legally.
You can’t call it “equal debate” when only one gender risks dying for it.

Cheap Ukrainian drones flew out of a truck… and destroyed strategic bombers deep inside Russia — the very ones bombing Ukrainian cities.
Russia can’t replace them — they’re relics of a dead empire.

If full-scale war comes, military analysts agree: 🇺🇦 Ukraine has the only army in Europe ready to fight.
But they need weapons.

God said, “Don’t eat the fruit or you’ll die.”
Eve ate it — didn’t die, just got smarter.

Don't be an alpha. Be accountable.

❌ Slash benefits for the poorest.
All so:
✔️ Billionaires can buy more yachts, fund more far-right parties worldwide
✔️ Get tax breaks on gun silencers.

Andrei Trofimov, a political prisoner from my hometown.
We both spoke out against Putin and the war in the same local community groups.
He got 10 years for that — then 3 more for speaking out again in court.
Think he can apply for asylum now that he’s already in the Gulag?

Gold toilets, gold curtains, gold jets...
I used to think it was just a Russian thing. But even in the “freest country in the world,” power still has a gold fetish.

Most Russians couldn’t dream of this car, but hey, salvation comes at a premium.
Business as usual for religious entrepreneurs — in any religion, in any country, if you ask me.

But then I remember: my home country, Russia, is at 171st place. Only Nicaragua, Vietnam, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, North Korea, China, Iran, and Syria are lower 🤷

Women: well... we need childcare, economic security, and equal parenting.

Funny — I still remember learning in 9th grade about economic models: agricultural → industrial → post-industrial.

She posted a few anti-war comments and small graffiti.
She was sentenced to 7 years. A cellmate tried to strangle her — yet she was punished again.
Tell me: at what point, between torture, cell violence, and new charges, is she supposed to ask for asylum abroad?

But then I remember: even U.S. Presidents have covered a wide range of speaking levels — and they still led a country!
