Russian leadership speak paternally of Odesa, but the city itself feels pain from bombing like other Ukrainian cities do. Targeting military positions, critical port infrastructure, energy substations, and bombing civilian apartment blocks. Air defense teams do what they can.

While filming our documentary "One Year on the Kostyantynivka Frontline" we navigated on foot through the drone and airstrike dominated streets of Druzhkivka. This helmet cam footage was taken by men in the 44th separate mechanized brigade who guided us around the embattled city.

In Kherson, snuggled between two buildings, away from sights of the war, is an art cooperative. Here local Kherson artists are able to express themselves and display their art projects. Beautiful landscapes and social commentary on the war exist between surrealist art.

Ukrainian sailor Ilya talks about how the recent air defense shortage has affected his work as part of a naval anti-drone crew. The re-directing and cutting off of American air defense supplies to Ukraine has had a measurable impact as Russia expands its air war against Ukraine.

Hey everyone- today we just released a new documentary about Ukraine's Navy and it's defense of the skies and shores of crucial port city of Odesa. I think it offers a unique look into one of the more overlooked fronts of the war, and I would love for ya'll to check it out!

New documentary on how Ukraine's navy continues to fight, despite the occupation of 80% of Kyiv's shoreline. Odesa is a lifeline for Ukraine's economy, which has made the city a centerpiece of Russia's air war. Moscow wants to control the city, and haven't forgotten about it.

I cannot properly express the disgust I felt while listening to stories from elderly tenants and families with small children who are poisoned by their landlords. Corruption in Baltimore are selling off the health of children to cut corners and make a quick buck. My documentary about it is out now.

Released a new article w/OffBeatResearch. I interview an infantry commander with the 100th Mechanized brigade defending the city of Kostiantynivka. They fight on one of the hottest axis on the front, where no one wants to go, as Russia attempts to push through Ukrainian positions towards Kramatorsk.

At the center of ICE activity in Minneapolis, the Whipple Building, most of the protestors had already left. That is when the cavalry arrived. Local police sent to disperse the crowd which had come to send Jake Lang home. After those gathered didn't disperse, they were charged, arrested.

Jake Lang, a J 6th insurrectionist who swung a bat at capital officers, came back to Minneapolis. His second visit since fleeing after getting attacked by protestors while attempting to burn a Quran. This time, he opted to do a "press conference" drive by as he was swarmed to the song ICE ICE baby.

The coalition against ICE in Minnesota is a big tent. Liberals, conservatives, socialists, libertarians, and those who desire to just grill and be left alone. It helped that this protest had no leader. But just posting a graphic online is enough to get the city on the streets when you have momentum.

As ICE performed immigration raids, or drove about Minneapolis, locals would often greet them with whistles warning neighbors of their presence. This shrill screeching was punctuated with insults, anger, comparisons to the FSB, and demands to leave the neighborhood from their own front doorstep.

There is often little rest for ICE agents in Minneapolis. Trumpets blare, horns scream, whistles shriek, while pots and pans bang about. Noise protests do their best to keep ICE awake so they aren't able to get comfortable. Once dispersed, they find the next hotel, and repeat.

ICE agents outside a courthouse park illegally before being confronted by parking enforcement and leaving. ICE often waits outside of courthouses to detain those leaving their immigration cases. Could locals treat the law like ICE agents do? Whether its traffic law, or an officer involved shooting.

While filming outside the Whipple building, the central node of ICE activity in Minnesota, I met Tom. A veteran, union worker, and self proclaimed "Nazi Hunter". He yelled vulgarities at whoever left or entered federal property. Note: This is my favorite interview of the whole film.

My documentary, "ICE Fishing in Minneapolis" filming ICE activity during Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota is out! A model that may soon be repeated in other cities. Includes interviews with local media, pro-ICE media, and angry locals. As well as Jake Lang's last attempt to "take back" the city.

I embedded with the 59th Mechanized Brigades "Shkval" battalion, made up of volunteer recruited from the Ukrainian prison system. These convicted criminals are given a choice of waving the remainder of your time behind bars in exchange for military service until the wars end.

Zoya, a Kherson local, was attacked by a grenade dropping drone while trying to get medication from the pharmacy. She was wounded, and pulled to safety by local police. Sent for treatment for her wounds, she retells her story of her experience with the "Human Safari".

bleak

The combat engineers I was embedded with in Kherson showed me a downed FPV drone that was strapped with explosive and shrapnel. These types of drones regularly hunt and stalk the city streets of Kherson, becoming a feature of the "Human Safari" as it has become popularly known.

Excavators are used to dig trenches for infantry to burrow in as shells fly overhead, which would otherwise take much more time and manpower to dig. Ukrainian engineers are not saved from the dangers of the invasion while building fortifications. Drones hunt them all the same.

Across occupied Ukraine, Baptist congregations have had their churches shut down while their pastors are viewed with suspicion. This has led to instances of persecution for the Christian denomination that doesn't follow the religious doctrines favored by the state.

A local store clerk in Kherson talks about the experience of having mortars bomb the area around her shop, and her belief that is it connected to them flying a Ukrainian flag outside their shop.

In the Ukrainian city of Kherson there is a hunt for any signs of life. A "Human Safari" where grenade dropping and FPV drones attack soldiers, civilians, city workers, ambulance crews, all who found themselves on the city streets. I went to Kherson, to document these attacks. Now free on Youtube!

Got my draft back for my documentary on the "Human Safari" in Kherson. No stream, checking for revisions. First film I've have made with a 100% original soundtrack, worked with folk and electronic musicians to get it right. Working on sound design has been really enjoyable🎵

Disarming the defender, does nothing to compel a long lasting peace. It just enables the attacker with a deadly betrayal for those defending their home from an invasion that arrived in their back yard, after assurances from America this very thing wouldn't happen.

The Trump administration fights harder for the freedom of internet pimps than America's allies

The deep state we all know and love❤️ Certainly the grocery prices can wait. We must chase DEI bigfoot through the woods!

For an American puppet government the Ukrainians sure don't seem to just take orders from the White House do they

These people are unamerican and see themselves as above our checks and balances, the law, and our constitution. Saying anything else is beating around the bush and pulling punches.

Disconcerting

Got a new phone after last one burned. Living out of a hotel until I figure something out or head back to Ukraine in roughly a month. That's if I can get the passport fast enough. Thanks to everyone who reached out❤️ I'll be back soon. There is still much work to be done.

Sumy is a launch pad for Ukrainian resistance In my new documentary, I talk to soldiers who invaded Russia, mortar teams avoiding Russian drones, Mayors governing frontline towns, and veterans burnt by war, to understand the complicated mosaic of perspectives that exist on on a risky new front.

23 hours left for Trump to find peace in Ukraine

Finished the nearly hour long video on Ukraine's use of the Sumy region as a launchpad for resistance, but was unable to get new musical compositions I want ready in time. Trying to include more music from the regions that I film in. Releasing trailer tomorrow, full video this Sunday (1/26/2025)

Got a message from a friend in the 155th, working on a story about why it fell apart. Need to prepare some questions, go through some footage, and prepare an outline for an article. Sadly, won't be able to stream anything tonight. See you guys again tomorrow at 6pm est✌️🇺🇦🇺🇸

pain

The GOP foreign affairs committee deleted this tweet conjuring up themes of neo-manifest destiny to support Trump calling for the forceful annexation of three different countries

Does anyone have an original opinion?

Lex interview going well

I think Mike Johnson won't win the first speakers vote, but after the usual loud suspects get it out of their system, are given committee positions, and get their time on the stage, he'll win a later speaker vote. Just need to go through the annual hazing ritual in front of the country first.

Celebrating New Years with my brother, who stopped by unexpectedly See you all next year, and good luck. Next year will be decisive in history. Hopeful, but incredibly nervous. Key decisions will have to be made this year, and a central decision maker could fly in any direction.

Merry Christmas🎄 ☃️ Toretsk aera, Ukraine (w/ NGO Proliska)

home sweet home Home for the holidays. Will be with family next couple of days, while backing up footage from Ukraine in my time in between. Regular streaming begins next Monday, and should be releasing some new articles with OffbeatResearch soon.

Jimmy Carter outlived Baathism in the middle east

Homs, where the Assad regime intended to make a last stand, fell hours ago. Syrian TV has stated that Assad is no longer in the capital, fleeing to an unknown location, as Damascus falls to the rebel advance The heart of Baathism in Syria is out of Assad's grasp It's really over

Assad bros?

It's legal to posses child porn in Russia, they have a very high abortion rate, and less than 10% of their population attend church regularly, but if Putin says "OOoOOo we fighting the ghouls and demons" moron alt-media conservatives will soy out in admiration

The anti-Assad rebellion in southern Syria is now roughly 10 miles from the capital of Damascus
