Dear people who say Ukrainians just need to give up some land, (no big deal.) Ukrainians are refusing to accept any version of the future that allows Russia to keep doing this to people and places that they know and love.

When a governor has to stand up & say “there’s no money to feed hungry kids” —while the same administration funds a UFC arena & $600M ballroom — something has gone deeply wrong. These aren’t budget abstractions. These are kids going hungry. #RepublicansStarveChildren #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

How is this America? How is any of this acceptable?

You can help to keep Ukrainians safe. By contributing, you are allowing people to survive and helping people to persevere. You are also letting them know that they are not alone, and that you can see a better future, and want to part of it. Please help if you can. snyder.substack.com/p/sky-defens...

In Kherson, the museum held 156 paintings and drawings by Oleksii Shovkunenko. russians stole 147. Only nine remained. I saw them in Kyiv and wrote about how they survived — and why the story of the stolen collection is not over. www.patreon.com/posts/160645...

Too many career politicians up in Washington are driven by the interests of the billionaire class instead of the people they're elected to represent — including Ashley Moody. Enough is enough. It's time for new leadership.

Russian Z propaganda tg-channel "From Mariupol to the Carpathians" has published a video showing a drone strike on a civilian in Kherson. Out of respect for the victim, I will not be posting the video here. ​The video is accompanied by an absolutely sadistic post:

Russian drone bombed a civilian car in Kherson , Ukraine, early this morning. Two people were injured - a woman and a man, 56 y. o. Both suffered concussions and explosive injuries. The man also received multiple injuries to his hands. Saturday in Ukraine.

Ecocide as a weapon of war: Russia has caused Ukraine 6.9 trillion hryvnias in damage, — Lubinets The figures of damage since 2022 are shocking — 6.9 trillion hryvnias. Of these, almost 4 trillion — destroyed and damaged protected natural areas, another about 3 trillion — polluted soils.

Now out--a book from Greg Olear connecting the Epstein dots. Who’s this for? “Someone who hasn’t been following the Epstein story can read the book one rainy afternoon, and walk away with a better understanding of the many, many facets of the Jeffrey Epstein story.”

Russia is recruiting men from occupied Kherson Oblast for BARS-33 unit, advertising $2,700 salaries, short-term contracts, and service close to home The reality: BARS is integrated into the regular Russian army, and discharge requests are refused euromaidanpress.com/2026/05/25/r...

My question is who stopped the IRS from filing an answer to Trump’s $10B lawsuit allowing him to drop it unilaterally.

“Ukraine is no longer just an aid recipient; it is emerging as a security provider for Europe,” writes Andrew Chakhoyan, an academic director at the University of Amsterdam, in this op-ed.

⚡ The Russians have released footage of several drone strikes on UN vehicles in Kherson, while the UN stated that it does not know who attacked the convoy. militarnyi.com/en/news/russ...

Russian drone just bombed a man in Kherson who was just walking down the street. Yes, with a direct strike. The infamous ‘human safari’ Russia loves so much. It sounds as if out of some distopian novel, but it’s a mundane reality for people living here.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation has submitted its response to the weird Truth Social as court filing Stan Woodward filed after the WHCD attack. They note 4 lies in it and that it was signed by DOJ's top lawyers. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social : “This is an attack on Black political power. To take away our representation.”

The biggest problem that Putin has is this guy by the name of Vladimir Vladimirovich. He really doesn’t want for the war to end and is constantly convincing Putin not to let it.

A Republican-aligned political group has spent millions of dollars on ads promoting Susan Collins, but a closer look at these ads shows they rely on misleading — and in some cases impossible — claims about her record on health care.
