Grew sunflowers and saved their seeds and grew them again. For seven years, I’ve learned to grow and tend.
My heart is with the 36th and Azov. They are prepared to die. They want to live.
And what fields they could grow in a world where by some miracle, they survived 💜🙏🌻🚜
"We waited so long that today they came unexpectedly..."
A touching video by the 47th Mechanized Brigade shows the rescue of residents of the village of Robotyne.
These people have already been saved; they are on their way "to peace."
The liberation of the occupied cities and villages of Ukraine continues.
“We have about 14 months before the election… and I can’t tell you we’re gonna have an election. I’m not.”
“The possibilities are no election, national emergency, or declaration of some other pandemic.”
I am tired of Putin threatening my country using Mike Flynn’s mouth.

I have been absent. I couldn’t have seen the last two weeks coming, and I’m ok, but I have never been so tired. Sorry for the AWOL - as always, #StandWithUkraine
If you’re feeling down today, here’s a video of Timothy Snyder anxiously trying (and failing) not to get into the background of Marcy Shore’s (his wife) call.

Charles McGonigal was head of counterintelligence @NewYorkFBI when Mike Flynn and Erik Prince manufactured false claims against Hillary Clinton causing @Comey to reopen “her emails.”
He’s pleading guilty to violating sanctions on Russia.
He’d better be singing about everything he knows. 🧐

🪱The story of an occupant, Vanya, made the bold decision to cross the Dnipro River to surrender to the Ukrainian army.
An occupant, once blinded by promises, finally sees the light. He takes a daring plunge into the Dnipro River, swimming toward his redemption. Clad in a uniform that now feels like a shroud, he splashes clumsily, a caricature of the invader he was once meant to be, seeking refuge with the Ukrainian forces.
Ukrainian soldiers watch in bemusement, their eyes anchored on this faltering figure, a tragicomic symbol of misguided allegiance. They’ve seen this before, another puppet cut from its strings, floundering in search of purpose.
But this one is different. He’s a one of ridicule, yet something about his wild flight captures the imagination. Maybe it’s the absurdity of it all or the raw human comedy laid bare. His flailing limbs and waterlogged posture turn him into a symbol, something more universal than just a failed Russian agression.
Their hearts, hardened by battle, warmed by valor, find room for empathy.
The realization that he was no longer a human, but a bullet in someone else's gun, led him to choose life, dignity, and truth.
His crossing of the river, once an obstacle, now becomes a bridge to hope, a connection to real humanity. His act of surrender is not defeat but victory😏, a triumph of conscience over manipulation, of self-respect over self-delusion. It's an invitation to others to make the same journey, to find their way back to what makes them truly human.
The ripple effects of his choice might be far-reaching, inspiring more to follow his path, reminding everyone that there's honor in recognizing the truth and making the right choice, even when it's difficult.
In the murky waters of conflict, Vanya found a way back to peace, at least for himself.
After waking up to the wonderful news of the Kerch Bridge on fire, I'm reminiscing about my trip to Ukraine last month. So here's a photo of me & one of my favorite Ukrainian heroes (@StarskyUA 😍) from a few weeks ago when I was in Kyiv 💙💛
Добра ніч, dear friends. Thanks to Philly's The Inquirer for feat. #Ukraine news. This night, we have an article about the #GrainDeal & why it matters to the world: https://t.co/8z1ono60vC #StandwithUkraine
@KvotheTheArcane It’s only real model UN if he gets drunk at dinner, starts a fight, claims diplomatic immunity, and hijacks the security council to support genocide.
I’m still under 2015 rules. The same ones that led to a break with half my RL network. Applies to friends, family, NAFO.
If you support Mike Flynn, or attack (not question) those trying to hold him to account, we are done.
Misha is the reason 🇺🇸 didn’t stand w/ Crimea.
@AngeloBCollie They have a coat of hair. And they’re either a full lifestyle choice or an expensive hobby, depending on your income (you can do all the heavy lifting including some vet + farrier if you’re all in)
ruski tv shouts to kill all of the Ukrainian children, they dont like a girl from east grow up and now she is a ZSU soldier.
I will tell you a story, based on true events, about a girl and dragons.
Once upon a time, in a not-so-faraway land, there was a girl named Nadya. Her father was her world. He told her stories of knights, dragons, and courage. But one day, the real dragons came. Not the ones from the fairy tales, but those covered in steel, spitting fire, bearing a tricolor emblem.
Her father, like a true knight, went to fight those dragons. But the fairy tales lied. Knights don’t always win. Her father didn’t come back.
Nadya was left with her mother, in a world that suddenly seemed too big and too cruel. The war roared outside their cellar door, but Nadya found silence more deafening. Her dreams turned into nightmares, playground into a graveyard.
When she was old enough, she didn’t go looking for a prince. Instead, she picked up her father’s old gear and signed up for training. The look in her mother's eyes was heartbreaking, but Nadya knew this was something she had to do.
Her father's words echoed in her mind every day, "Courage isn’t the absence of fear, Nadya. It’s standing up to it.” And so she did, she stood up to her fear. She became the knight her father would have wanted her to be.
The battlefield isn't a place for fairy tales. There are no happy endings, just moments of respite. But every night, Nadya looks up at the sky, a sky her father once pointed to when he spoke about freedom and peace.
She fights not out of hate for what’s in front of her, but love for what’s behind her. This isn't just her story, it's the story of many children who have grown up too soon because of this war.
In the world's eyes, she's a soldier. But she's more than that. She's a daughter, a warrior, a beacon of hope. She's a girl who chose to fight dragons. 💔🔥
@SmackMegThermo @libradunn It means we have the highest needs in the district, the most struggling families who qualify for support. Now that Colorado funds lunches, I don’t want to say lunch - there are other supports, though.
