As the world gapes at a demented, rambling Trump, people in Kyiv and across Ukraine freeze in the dark after fascist Russian drone and missile attacks knock out energy infrastructure. Putin has normalized atrocities to the point that his crimes in Ukraine are not newsworthy.

Holodomor (“hunger mass-death”) is what Ukrainians call the genocidal artificial famine created by Soviet dictator Stalin in the 1930s that killed millions here. Now fascist Russia has added a new word to the vocabulary of Ukrainian genocide - Kholodomor, or “cold mass-death.”

The president of the United States is reposting false information about the 2020 election. These are not interesting times, but intensely irritating ones.

If Trump ordered an illegal invasion and annexation of Denmark's Greenland, he could face some opposition from serving commanders as well.

After latest Russian attack, nearly 5,600 buildings in Kyiv without heat in -14°C temps. 80% had only just had heating restored. Entire Left Bank has no water, while Right Bank is on reduced pressure. Pechersk has partial supply. Dnipro, Odesa, Vinnytsia, Poltava also hit.

All clear sounded in Kyiv after Russian missile and drone attack on the capital, but half of the country still on alert. Power and water out in left bank Kyiv, parts of right bank. More drones incoming, and cruise missile attack by Russian Tu-95 bombers expected at 0600 to 0700.

"Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him. Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the Nobel Prize." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

European leaders, when they call Washington DC, should at the outset ask, “Is there anyone sane I can talk to?” Trump’s letter is absolutely demented. Secretary of State Marco Rubio should handle US foreign relations until Trump’s successor takes over.

Deep cold, clear skies and welcome light in our local park in Kyiv. However, Ukraine is bracing for another massive Blitz air raid by fascist Russia, which is attempting to freeze the Ukrainian population into submission amid extremely cold winter weather. It’s-12 C just now.

This is what Stephen Miller is calling an “insurrection”

From a friend in Tehran. Someone who simply wants to live free — and see his and all countries rid of the “evil formula: Jihadism*Russia.” “Hope to see you in a free Iran‌.”

No matter how many votes they can come up with on Greenland, Trump can still ignore them if he wants to, but it would help the public understand how insane it would be for him to invade a NATO ally if so many Senators stood together on this one.

Winter sun on my local park. Kyiv is such a nice place to live - except when a bunch of genocidal Russian fascist-imperialists are trying to kill you every other night.

A lawless regime — breaking the law to protect powerful pedophiles

No. That is not the law. A state needs to have an effective government to be a state. It does not need to have a strong army. Costa Rica abolished its army a long time ago - that does not mean you can now just seize it.

Tinky Winky secures overlordship of Teletubbyland.

If, like me, you're a Jean-Michel Jarre nut, you'll love this studio footage that captures the genesis of "Diva", the second track of Jarre's 1984 album "Zoolook." Also an interview in French with the great man. If not, scroll on and don't judge me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk76...

Much of Ukraine on air alert due to drone and missile attacks by fascist Russia. Over about an hour, Russia launched about 20 ballistic missiles at the county. Power outages in Kyiv city and oblast after energy infrastructure targeted. Kharkiv, Kryvyi River/Zelenodolsk also hit.

If I wanted to permanently cripple NATO, divide the USA and help Russia and China, I could think of nothing better than the US using military force to seize Greenland.

I think it’s time for an intervention, America.

Ice on the inside of the entry door to our Babusya’s apartment block in Kyiv. The temperature is -12 C outside, and Russia is continuing to attack the Ukrainian capital’s energy infrastructure with drones. The latest air raid ended about an hour ago.

African mercenaries, some singing in Swahili, fighting for fascist Russia in Ukraine. The war will continue to rise in intensity and expand in geography until the West provides Ukraine with sufficient military and economic support for it to be able to defeat fascist Russia.

The Oreshnik is primarily a psychological weapon aimed at the minds of Ukrainians and Western leaders. It's basically a variant of the RS-26, built on Soviet-era tech with a few modern bits bolted on, one less stage, and a reconfigured warhead. In short, it's Putin's answer to Hitler's V-2.

There's no evidence of widescale voter fraud in any recent US election. This is a typical authoritarian play by Trump - trying to undermine public faith in the fairness of the voting process. If the vote doesn't go his way, he'll claim there were irregularities, and say "I warned you about this!"

Hi from Kyiv hallway. It’s 2:03 and Russia is attacking us with ballistic missiles . Loud explosions heard just now . Russia is trying to destroy yet another power station , this time in Kyiv . It’s about -11 outside tonight, so yes Russia is trying to freeze us

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

Russian drones flying low over Kyiv residential areas. It is much harder for air defense to shoot them down due to their low flight and weather conditions.

Alleged footage of Russian Oreshnik missile strike in Lviiv/Lviv Oblast. Six rapid streaks of light can be seen impacting, matching the six warheads of the Oreshnik IRBM. The video time stamp matches the time of the reports of explosions. However, authorities have not confirmed.

Ukrainian drone (probably) strikes a combined heat and power plant in Oryol, in fascist Russia. Over the past day or so, Russian attacks have left areas of Ukraine without power or heating.

Around 60 Russian drones in Ukrainian airspace right now. Much of east of country on air alert. Monitors say up to 15 Russian strategic bombers in a state of high combat readiness. Massive Russian Blitz air raid expected as temperatures fall, several areas already suffering severe energy outages.

“Unfortunately, when tyranny did come, it turned out that those who had been most insistent about protecting their right to bear arms were actually pretty OK with tyranny.”

This is the agent that murdered the woman in Minneapolis on 1/7/2026.

“It’s dead on arrival,” Gene Fidell, an expert on the Uniform Code of Military Justice who teaches at Yale Law, told me. “If this ever gets in front of a judge, the judge is going to say, ‘Fuck you.’” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

"Get the fuck out of Minneapolis" mayor tells ICE after an agent shoots and kill a woman. "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I wanna tell everybody directly, that is bullshit". www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The alien doesn't speak very good English, but you get the idea...

Apparently using a submarine to protect a tanker from helicopters is not effective. I remain a master strategist.

“Far from making us more powerful, the pursuit of American dominance will make us weaker, eventually leaving us with no sphere, and no influence, at all,” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues:

🇮🇷 Protesters in Iran have taken over two cities Residents of Abdanan and Malekshahi have driven out security forces and are celebrating victory.

The United States will be Oceania, Russia will be Eurasia and China will be Eastasia. Europe, unfortunately, gets to be part of Eurasia.

"No one will stand up for Putin - that's why the Kremlin is afraid." Elvira Barry on the swift, sharp kick in the balls that the US attack on Venezuela gave the world order. And with Russia now subordinate to China, who's next for a kicking? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Apbo...

This isn't getting enough attention in Western media: Ukraine is effectively imposing a civil aviation blockade on the most populous part of fascist Russia ahead of the Orthodox Christmas (Jan. 7) holiday. The air war could be decisive in 2026, and it's already intensifying.

Always thought the first NATO vs NATO war would be Greece and Turkey not the United States invading Greenland.

Looks like the first big fascist Russian Blitz air raid on Ukraine in 2026 is on its way: Already 33 Shahed attack drones heading in from east, 10 Tu-95s and 3 Tu-160 bombers airborne - cruise missiles expected 0500-0600. Ballistic missile launchers active in Belgorod Oblast.

"Summa benevolentia te prosequimur et successum tibi optamus."

"Dictators like Putin do not go to war for resources; They go to war for status and survival inside their own pyramid." Elvira Bary on something many in the West don't understand: Putin needs war to survive. He will attack again, but where? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7WY...

As usual, Putin gets an opportunity to prime Trump with the Kremlin line before the US leader meets with Zelensky. #Wormtongue
