Kyiv today. The harder the attack, the more determined I am to look for something good. Christmas magic in the windows of a central department store – installations inspired by the works of Grasya Oliyko, a Ukrainian illustrator.

This is who she was. Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best. Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

‼️ Friends, this is very important. Please share to whoever this may concern, especially if you are in the United States. Ukraine wants peace. Lasting, just, sustainable peace, and not a pause before the next bloodbath. I cannot stress this enough.

So delighted! Thank you very much for the nomination.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Thank you Full House!

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

This photo is more than an image. It’s about love for one’s home, about those who remain, about the things that will never again be the home they once were. It’s about people who lose everything - except their memories, and their ability to love even among ruins, Alena texted

Thanks TiaC!

Hello? Are you home? A little joy is knocking at your door. It’s not a trick, scam or con. It isn’t looking for something back. You’ll let it in, won’t you? It won’t overstay. Just keep you company for a while. Tend to your sore spots. Hello? Are you home? templeinacity.com/explore-the-...

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath? Character isn't something you tell people about. It's something you live.

Hillary was right. Deplorable.

A most unexpected surprise! While posing for a photo, an NYC police officer recited a poem by the legendary Taras Shevchenko upon hearing the Ukrainian language. The officer studied Ukrainian in college — in Manhattan. Now this is what we call gentle Ukrainization 😉

"At this moment in time, of course, the release of the TRUMPSTEIN Files is really the public's main priority."

"Am I going to die?" the child asks quietly. "No, no, everything will be fine," the police officer reassures him. A Russian drone directly hit a daycare in Kharkiv yesterday. The kids were in the shelter, thankfully, and evacuated quickly. Many had acute stress reactions.

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

Thank you for getting it back out in the world.

What a human.
