Very smart, very well said Terrell. Really necessary, thank you!

Thank you @terrelljstarr.bsky.social for this excellent reporting on who Iryna Zarutska was. 👏🏻 Recall everyone about a week ago when the MAGAts were up in arms about the black man who had stabbed a white Ukrainian woman to death? This was that woman. May she rest in peace. Read to get more details.

MAGA exploits Iryna Zarutska’s murder—casting her as a “white woman” to erase Russian violence against Ukraine and stoke fear of Black men. MAGA CEOs want murals to commodify her, not honor her. That’s desecration. True remembrance is solidarity. 👇🏾My latest 👇🏾

Charlie Kirk wasn’t only a racist. He was one of the most anti-Ukraine, pro-Russian voices in MAGA. He propagandised xenophobia about the border to justify withdrawing military support for Ukraine. 👇🏾 I have all of the receipts here 👇🏾#ukrainianview

Charlie Kirk wasn’t only a racist, he was a reliable pro-Putin talking head who repeatedly spread disinformation about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In my latest Substack piece, I explain why his white nationalism was so useful for Russian propaganda. #ukrainianview

This is pretty much what I think of the entirety of the right-wing media cohort. They're all bullies and liars who contribute nothing of value whatsoever to any conversation. Some views are just wrong and don't deserve a platform.

I don’t have anything positive to say about #CharlieKirk. So I wrote this.

I interviewed Maksym Butkevych, who spent 2 yrs in Russian captivity. Starved & beaten, he survived by teaching fellow POWs English. Some can now hold conversations. Even in hell, he created hope. 🎥 Full interview on YouTube: Terrell J Star Official

Trump will not end the war in Ukraine. These are my thoughts. #ukrainianview

RACISM in Kyiv, on Khreschatyk Street. This woman called me a nigger repeatedly and told me to go back to Africa because this country is for Ukrainians—not niggers. When I turned on the camera, she turned into a Karen. Thing is, she’s not even Ukrainian. Prolly American. In fact, almost certain.

From pacifist to POW, Maksym Butkevych survived torture, starvation, and 2+ years in captivity. Now he fights for veterans and refugees. Watch his incredible story on YouTube: Terrell J Starr Official. #UkrainianView

Listen and learn

That low, buzzing roar you hear outside my apartment? That’s a Russian drone. They’re engineered to sound exactly like that—mechanical, guttural, impossible to ignore. It’s psychological warfare, built to rattle nerves and keep entire civilian populations in a constant state of fear.

My most watched interview is with Yaroslav—a Brooklyn-raised, Ukrainian-born soldier who returned to fight for his homeland. He’s not here for talk of concessions. To him, giving up land means giving up people. Watch the full interview: Terrell J Starr Official.

"A lot of people genuinely feel that Trump is compromised and that [Russia] has something on him." @terrelljstarr.bsky.social tells @deanobeidallah.bsky.social how the Ukrainian people view Trump and the cracks in American democracy.

Maksym Butkevych, a human rights activist, pacifist turned soldier and former POW, tells me about the day Russian forces captured him and the torture he endured. Watch this powerful testimony ahead of Friday’s full interview release.

Happy Independence Day to Ukraine! I interviewed Maksym Butkevych, a brave human rights activist who spent over two years as a POW in Russian captivity. His fight for Ukraine's inclusive future moved me deeply. Watch our talk Friday on YouTube: Terrell J Starr Official. #ukrainianview

Yaroslav left Brooklyn to fight for Ukraine—for love, heritage, and freedom. He says this war will be long, and no one fighting believes Trump’s peace push will work. Putin only respects strength. This is my most watched interview—watch it at Terrell J Starr Official on YouTube.

fuckn A right they should. Fuck colonialism

How should progressives talk about Ukraine? Had a great convo with @mazmhussain.bsky.social about this and what it will really take for Russia to stop invading Ukraine. Check out the full conversation on Substack. #ukrainianview

This is one of my more gripping interviews ever. A Ukrainian-born, Brooklyn-raised soldier returned to fight Russian occupiers—and he doesn’t mince words. He says Ukraine must play Trump and Putin’s games, but he came home to resist, not surrender. Watch and be blown away. #ukrainianview

Trump claims he’s brokering peace between Russia and Ukraine. Spoiler: he’s not. He makes grandiose claims, the media echoes them, and reality crashes the party. Russia—yes, the invader—wants veto power over Ukraine’s security. This isn’t diplomacy. It’s delay.

We can’t talk about the geopolitics of Trump’s meeting with Zelenskyy and European leaders without calling out his racist rant about crime in Washington, DC. He basically said DC, the capital city hosting peace talks for Ukraine, is too crime ridden to enjoy a nice dinner. I can’t let that slide.

Dozens of countries use mail-in voting, including Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, and Switzerland. Trump is wrong. And there is little to no election fraud.

Trump said the Patriot system is 100 percent effective. That’s not true. No air defense system is full proof. Hundreds of dead civilians can attest to that.

Zelenskyy is enduring a racist tirade about Washington, DC.

11 years ago, this photo was taken. And, yes, we still have to protest this shit. Her name is France Francois.

All of Europe has accompanied Zelenskyy to the White House in case Trump and his goons try to jump him again. My latest from Ukraine.

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin received a cute letter from First Lady Melania Trump, urging the serial Ukrainian baby killer to protect children neither he nor her husband cares about. Read my thoughts 👇🏾

When I came to @thebaltimorebanner.com in 2022 I had @karenattiah.bsky.social in mind as my quest to be a representative of the people in the majority in my city. I am glad for her example.

I interviewed a Ukrainian soldier, Yaroslav, who predicted the outcome of the meeting in Alaska between Trump and Putin. He knew it would be a waste of time, but says Ukraine has no choice but to play along with Putin and Trump’s games. Watch the full interview 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾

"We shouldn’t be surprised that a convicted felon who should be in prison is providing cover for a dictator who should be in The Hague."-- @terrelljstarr.bsky.social

Former President Joe Biden’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act gave Mississippi $225 million for bridge repairs and replacement. The Mississippi Legislature also approved the Emergency Road and Bridge Repair Fund in 2018, which has provided around $600 million for infrastructure repairs.

The Trump and Putin meeting in Alaska was a sit down between two thugs, not two heads of state. My analysis on Substack! Let me know what you think in the comments.

Listen to what really happened at that so-called Putin - Trump summit-not-a-real summit

Two criminals met in Alaska to legitimise each other. My thoughts on Trump and Putin’s meeting.

Of course Trump left Alaska with nothing. What did you expect? Media made a big deal out of this meeting and they shouldn’t have. I am more pissed at them than I am a Trump, to be honest.

Russia is attacking Ukraine as Putin and Trump meet in Alaska.

”’Let them play their games. We don’t have a choice but to play along,’ Yaroslav, a Ukrainian soldier recalls his superior officer telling him about Trump’s attempts to negotiate with Putin. Watch my full interview with Yaroslav about Trump, fighting Russians and if peace is possible with Russia.

Will Trump’s peace negotiations work in Alaska this Friday? Yaroslav doesn’t think so. The Ukrainian-American soldier says the battle isn’t just about Ukraine—it’s about protecting both of his countries. Putin, as far as Yaroslav is concerned, wants to destroy them both ultimately.

Merz’s comments come amid a sea change of opinion among a number of Western countries about how the war in Gaza is being fought and the resulting humanitarian crisis.

🔴 Russia launched an early morning airstrike on Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region, killing at least two people and wounding 12 others.

That wasn't the end. Another big win of the "cardboard protests" waves: the gov't has appointed the winner of the competition Oleksandr Tsyvinsky as the head of Ukraine's Bureau of Economic Security. This agency is instrumental for improving business climate & fighting against economic scams. Great!

Meet Marianna. I just interviewed her for nearly an hour in Ukrainian! I had to read my questions from my laptop and struggled through the pronunciations, but I did it. I feel so good about myself. We just took a selfie!
