🧵The Forgotten Team USA On July 3, 1936, a month before the Nazi Olympics in Berlin, a group of American athletes boarded a ship bound for Europe. The US team included Black sprinters from Harlem, Jewish gymnasts from Manhattan, and a biracial boxer from Pittsburgh.

This Ukrainian girl lost both of her parents when a Russian drone struck their apartment just outside Kyiv.

It’s one of the greatest scenes in the history of cinema. John Boorman was somewhat like the English little brother of Stanley Kubrick… The same genius. “In the name of God, St. Michael and St. George”… Unforgettable… The best Arthurian legend movie ever made Excalibur, 1981 youtu.be/XAIeh0YarFs?...

Trump isn't making America great again. He is making China and Russia great again. By shattering Western alliances and dividing the US from its partners, he is doing exactly what Putin and Xi have always wanted but couldn't achieve alone

Friends, I really need your help, please don't pass by, the situation is very difficult.🙏🥺

🇬🇪Georgian Dream knows it lacks legitimacy. That is why Georgians who say “this government is not legitimate” may soon be committing a "crime". 1/2

"If you're not supporting Ukraine, go fuck yourself. Fuck Russia! Slava Ukraina always! I've been here for four years trying to help y'all in every possible way." A street journalist in Ukraine bumped into Chef Noah Sims, and out of that encounter, this masterpiece was born💙💛

russian strike on an animal shelter in Zaporizhzhia. There are no words… іnhumаn.

Terrifying footage from Kherson. The city is under regular russian bombings. Countless beautiful buildings lie in ruins, and with them, the lives and dreams of countless people. All because bitter russia could not allow a city that chose freedom to live.

🇺🇦🥳🎂Happy birthday to Olena Zelenska A woman of strength, dignity, and courage. Graceful, resilient, and truly inspiring — she embodies what it means to be a First Lady in the hardest of times.

The Winter Olympic Games opening ceremony has begun in Italy The competition will take place from February 6 to 22 in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo.

Kyiv. We were warned of a possible attack tonight. Me? Had a warcoffee, made dinner, and charged everything (we had 2.5 hours of power). Feeling nothing. We’ll survive everything. I know.

The list of things to avoid in russia widens: bathtubs now join tea and windows. "The former official's body was discovered in the bathtub, and the preliminary cause of death is drowning. The state agency emphasizes that criminal activity is not being considered in his death"😬

#Trump removes video with racist clip depicting Obamas as apes www.bbc.com/news/article...

“I have a question. Why has the year of Trump’s negotiations become the deadliest for civilians in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion? Compared to the previous year, the number of dead and injured has increased by 31%.” - Oleksandra Matviychuk 👇

Defender of Mariupol&father of five,Viktor Dmytrenko,has returned from second Russian captivity He was first captured back in 2014 after the battles for Ilovaisk,where he spent nearly 5 months as a prisoner Before the war,Viktor worked for 14 yrs as a crane operator at the Illich Iron&Steel Works

Le "free speech" à l'américaine est un vrai tuyau à merde qui permet de balancer les pires horreurs ; cf la dernière saloperie de Trump sur les Obama. Nos vaillants défenseurs de la liberté d'expression devraient se questionner sur ce que permettrait un tel système, sans foi ni loi, chez nous.

Trump and his supporters would have supported Hitler in the 1930s

Vitalii «Donetsk» Ovcharenko 🇺🇦 @Vit_Ovchar Завжди емоційно розйобує, коли бачу як повертаються наші полонені і як люди їх зустрічають… Ось і зараз. До кому в горлі. Все не зря! Не зря!

Many avant-garde artists rejected national labels, imagining art as universal. Malevich was no exception. But, as Myroslav Shkandrij, professor emeritus of the University of Manitoba, points out, indifference to national identity does not prevent later appropriation.

seeing reports there could a massive missile attack tonight. Friday night vibe when you’re from Ukraine,

President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen presented the 20th package of sanctions against Russia. The new sanctions include a full maritime service ban on Russian crude oil and introduce a new import ban on metals, chemicals, and critical minerals not yet sanctioned.

I don't know about you, but I miss him a lot.A lot... Leonard Cohen, Democracy in 1992. youtu.be/DU-RuR-qO4Y?...

Donald Trump is a racist. Just remember his daddy was arrested in 1927 at a KKK rally in New York.., not only that his daddy supported the Nazi party . The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. And the only thing I could come up with this is disgusting and he’s a racist.

Sport is never separate from politics. Especially when athletes represent authoritarian, criminal states. russia and Belarus use athletes to whitewash their shameful politics. Sometimes, their athletes act exactly like the countries they represent — with hatred and contempt🧵

“I was very concerned with President Trump’s post today. I had an extremely productive talk with him and he’s promised not to post anymore memes that are derogatory to apes. I’m certain he’s learned his lesson.” — Perpetually concerned Susan Collins

I don’t know how the current US administration’s communication style affects you, but it’s made me approach everything coming from the US government with pretty much the same skepticism as official statements from China.

«J'ai renversé le gouvernement #belge en 2018 », déclare #Bannon à #Epstein dans des dossiers divulgués Bannon et Epstein ont discuté de stratégies pour renforcer les partis d'extrême droite en #EU en utilisant la question de la migration comme levier politique www.brusselstimes.com/belgium/1955...

Russia continues to answer diplomacy with missiles. We are determined to make that choice painfully expensive. Today, we present our 20th sanctions package. Sanctions severely hurt Russia’s economy. And every sanction chips away at its capacity for war. (1/9)

Kyiv. There was a time when I ordered books. Now I order thermos flasks. The time for books will come.

In lieu of invading Iran to distract; this. Calling Trump a shit stain is an insult to shit stains. There is no bottom of the Trump barrel. No vocabulary to capture the vast depths of his depravity. What a national embarrassment.

The Winter Olympics start today, and we will feel pride and honor for our country. But when we see our criminal, delusional, President, we feel none of those things. I’ve faced off with him before, and now I’m ready to take him on in Congress.

Afternoon

Zelenskyy manages to make the unflappable British guards laugh. 😊🇺🇦

when you've lost Tim Scott ...

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

Greetings from Kyiv and a warcoffee after the workout. The repairman fixed the windows, and I hope the little warmth we still have will now stay inside the flat. 1,126 high-rise buildings on the left bank of Kyiv (where I live) remain without heating after the latest russian attack.

Two beautiful news ✨

Prince Harry has an awesome collection of Ukrainian Armed Forces unit badges on display at his California home

Missile strikes on substation and combined heat/power plant in fascist Russia’s Belgorod. Power and heating out in some parts of city. Fascist Russia will likely see more such strikes as democratic Ukraine responds to ongoing Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

Explosions in Kharkiv ‼️

My solidarity with journalists. Our experience of blackouts due to Russian attacks teaches us that, even in complete darkness around us, you can become a light for someone.

Finland is indispensable to European security. Together with President Stubb, Prime Minister Orpo, and Foreign Minister Valtonen, we discussed key geopolitical challenges, from Russia’s war against Ukraine to Arctic security, transatlantic relations, China and the situation in the Middle East (1/2)

It was so good to read this. 157 Ukrainians came home from russian captivity today after a prisoner swap. One hundred fifty-seven. More, please.

Trump’s words are a matter for psychiatry, not politics, and certainly not geopolitics. A man born with a silver spoon in his mouth, raised without love by a monster, he has no understanding of human society… Trump is his father’s son, and, sadly, a cautionary example of the "American Dream"...

Greetings from Kyiv. Winter’s survival mode drains a lot of energy. Voltage drops and constant power cuts wear out the meter. I have to choose what to charge in the rare hours of electricity. Finally found someone to fix the windows, the drafts make the flat even colder. Spring, we need you.

Leavitt: “I can’t guarantee that an ICE agent won’t be around a polling location in November. I mean, that’s frankly a very silly hypothetical question. What I can tell you is I haven’t heard the president discuss any formal plans to put ICE outside of polling locations.”

I really think NATO should revoke the US's security clearance.
