Six days hanging naked from rebar. Four months standing in human waste until his feet rotted and his heels separated from the bone. Two healthy teeth ripped out without anesthesia. His tendons severed with a knife.

This is what Ukrainian soldier Oleksii Anulia endured during 10 months of russian captivity.

He was beaten unconscious and nearly raped. He watched two fellow prisoners being murdered. Another man was raped for nine days because he had a beard. A female teacher was raped after declaring a hunger strike.

“I asked why. They told me: ‘Because you were born a khokhol.’”

His father went looking for him and helped 46 people escape captivity. The russians captured him in Lukashivka and burned him alive alongside six others inside an Orthodox church.

Oleksii survived. Doctors wanted to amputate his legs. He refused. He wanted to walk again and return to his children.

He wrote Jingle bellZ to document these atrocities for a future tribunal.

“They broke everything that could be broken. They couldn’t break my desire to return to my children.”

This is the reality of russian captivity. The world must know the truth. Every perpetrator must face justice.

Peter Thiel contacted me through the Rentboy site circa 2006 & asked me to find 2 other men to join me in SF while he watched. We were each paid $1k for 1 hour of our time together as consenting adults. Peter was only wanting to watch. He kept the 3rd behind after 45 minutes. IY

The Trump family has turned our government into their personal piggy bank.

They don't even hide their corruption.

[Amy Siskind @Amy_Siskind]

Disgusting! 16 days. Vote Trump and all of his enablers out!

New meaning for MAGA just dropped.

Jennings: Is he doctor?

Allison: I would not have your party out here questioning qualifications when you just had to fire a press secretary because she was out here lying about her qualifications.

[shelby @thetrueshelby]

Who attacked her, you fucking traitor? You’re the fucking U.S. ambassador to Israel. Why can’t you name them?

[kyama @kyamawebb23]

Elon Musk has stated that Tesla can turn off your car at any point. SpaceX can turn off your wifi whenever they want. They've threatened to use these features if they suspect your an undocumented immigrant attempting to flee. They've shut down Starlink during crises. Now they shut down Starshield in Ukraine due to their attacks on data centers in Russia.

Why would we put so much power in the hands of an emotional lunatic?

[Lev Parnas @levparnas]

.@LauraLoomer, you went to Ukraine. You heard the sirens. You saw the destruction. You spoke to President @ZelenskyyUa . You’ve spoken publicly about changing your position. I welcome that. But what you do next matters.

If you’re serious about standing with Ukraine, you have to be willing to hold @realDonaldTrump accountable.

You cannot demand accountability from everyone around him and give the man making the decisions a permanent pass. You have his ear. Use it. Tell him Ukrainian lives cannot become bargaining chips. Tell him to put pressure on Putin to stop the killing and give Ukraine the support it needs to protect its people.

And call out @SteveWitkoff and @jaredkushner .

What they’re pursuing goes far beyond peace negotiations: energy deals, business interests, and arrangements involving Russia, the Saudis, and the Qataris. They need to explain whose interests they’re representing and what business discussions are taking place alongside these negotiations.

You have access to the president. You have a platform. You have an opportunity to push him to help stop this bloodshed.

If you choose to protect him from accountability after seeing Ukraine’s suffering firsthand, history will judge that choice. You cannot claim you didn’t know. And you cannot wash your hands of the consequences.

[Ivanka Trump Official 🇺🇸🇺🇸 @IvankaTrump1233]

The Epstein files…

I don't know what you think, but the allegations connected to this case are extremely disturbing and difficult to ignore..

They raise serious concerns about abuse, exploitation, and misuse of power..

[Fernando Gonzales @Fernandonyny]

Hey Trumptards, are you in denial that the DOJ buried a deposition of a woman who had presented timeline proof that Trump & Epstein raped her when she was 13? And that when she bit Trump's 1" weiner, he threw her to the ground and kicked her in the stomach?

Fake News right?

[Abby💎 @Abbywillia69841]

I took my mother's wedding ring to a jeweler on a Tuesday morning.
I was three months behind on rent.
I told myself it was only a ring.
The jeweler put a loupe to his eye.
Then he went quiet.
"Where did you get this?"
"It was my mother's."
"When did she pass?"
"Last spring."
He set the ring down very gently.
"Ma'am, I need to tell you something."
I braced myself.
"This isn't a diamond."
I laughed.
"That's impossible. She wore it for thirty years."
"It's a good replica," he said. "But it's a replica."
My face went hot.
I felt embarrassed, and then I felt angry.
Had my mother lied to me?
Had my father?
Had the whole marriage been staged?
The jeweler cleared his throat.
"Can I ask you your mother's name?"
I told him.
He walked to the back of the shop.
When he returned, he was holding a small leather ledger.
He flipped to a page marked with a paper clip.
"Your mother came in fifteen years ago."
"She sold the original ring to me."
"She said her daughter had been accepted to a university she couldn't afford."
I stopped breathing.
I had paid almost nothing for college.
She told me it was a scholarship.
"She asked me to make a copy so your father wouldn't notice."
"Then she asked for one more thing."
"She asked if she could buy it back, a little at a time."
I looked at the ledger.
A column of dates ran down the page.
One payment every month.
Fifteen years of them.
Some were large.
Most were small.
A few were only twenty dollars.
"She never missed a month," he said.
"Even the winter she was in the hospital, her friend came in and paid for her."
I covered my mouth.
"How much is left?"
He turned the ledger toward me.
"Four hundred dollars."
Four hundred dollars.
After fifteen years.
I had four hundred and thirty dollars in my account.
It was meant for rent.
I put my card on the counter before I could think.
"Take it."
The jeweler shook his head.
"There's one more thing."
He opened a drawer and took out a small velvet box.
Inside was the real ring.
Under it was a folded note, yellowed at the edges.
"She wrote this the last time she was here," he said.
"She told me to hand it over on the day you came in to sell the copy."
"She said you'd come in when you were struggling."
My hands were shaking.
I unfolded the note.
It was in my mother's handwriting.
"Sweetheart, the ring was never the treasure. You were. Wear it when you need to remember that."
I paid the last four hundred dollars.
Then I slid the real ring onto my finger.
It fit perfectly.

Imagine any American city being attacked so easily? Russia is weak.

🚨 WATCH: James Talarico is introduced by The Chicks to a crowd of THOUSANDS in Texas.

Talarico is running on healthcare for all.

[Morgan J. Freeman @mjfree]

Fact check this prick!

[News to Remember @allchronology]

Trump really thinks Canada’s healthcare system is a privilege he grants us, BITCH, YOU’RE THE PRESIDENT OF DUMBFUCKISTAN, NOT THE FUCKING EMPEROR OF EARTH. Canada was taking care of its people before your orange ass ever sat in the Oval Office. The world doesn’t revolve around you, you self-important POS. And we spend “YOUR money unwisely” WHAT FUCKING MONEY? The fucking audacity… Go bankrupt another casino, you fucking bloated clown!!

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Had a conversation with the American President’s envoys, Steve Witkoff @SEPeaceMissions and Jared Kushner @jaredkushner. Peace comes only through strength and cooperation built on trust. We are doing everything on our part to make this happen, and to ensure that America’s position is strong and helps bring peace closer. Peace that everyone, except Russia, has been waiting for over the past four and a half years.

In particular, we discussed the results of our teams’ meeting in Florida. Our teams maintain virtually nonstop communication. We are also preparing the next steps in diplomacy. We constantly inform our partners about the real situation with Russian strikes, which do not cease for a single minute, and about air defense issues. A lot here depends precisely on America’s position. Ukraine remains ready to work constructively, honestly, and toward a real result. I thank everyone in America who supports Ukraine and this particular approach.
