If I’d never been to Ukraine, I’d probably oppose it.
From afar, to those quite tired of Washington's games, Ukraine might look like another endless U.S. war—pushed by media spin, the defense industry, and Hunter Biden’s Burisma connections. Even Hollywood seemed in on it until they got bored.
And I’d think the 2014 Maidan Revolution was staged by some State Department lady handing out cookies.
But up close? The truth isn’t what you’d expect. 🧵[1]⤵️
10/ That’s why I’m still here, 30 miles from Russia, without my daily radio outlet but still committed to bringing you the truth—raw, real, and unfiltered.
Kharkiv is the center of the fight for freedom. The people here face missiles and drones daily yet insist on living free.
The resilient people of Kharkiv—so often bombed and so close to Russia—prove that Ukraine can win. And America can too, if we learn from their fight. Join the journey. ✊ 🎬
5/ For three years, I reported live from Ukraine on Chicago’s WGN Radio—10 minutes every weekday.
Through missile strikes, power outages, and sleepless nights, I always found a way to share what I was seeing and hearing. Listeners wrote in saying they could hear the war in my voice—hope, fear, exhaustion.
It brought them to the war, with a rigorous empathy, every damn day. ⤵️
You were designed to live a life that truly counts! Keep going. The impact you can make is worth every ounce of effort, minute of work, and challenge you will face.
No rescue is straightforward but Leo has been one of the hardest and longest.
Finding a perfect place for each dog to live is not easy but I’m so happy for Leo.
He is healthy, has the freedom he craves and he even has his very own monk to look after him 🥰🙏 (8/8)
A local monk about 20 minutes away is a dog lover. His house is in a temple that is on the beach and well away from all traffic.
He has 12 other dogs. We tried it out and Leo loved it. We obviously helped with food, medicines and donations.
Look how happy Leo is (6/8)
Former Conservative MP Paul Scully accidentally says the quiet bit out loud
That if developers build houses too quickly, prices drop, and they make less profit
Being a Christian isn’t merely trying to follow the example of Jesus Christ. Being a Christian is having Jesus Christ Himself taking residence in our hearts and living inside us. It’s what distinguishes the Christian faith from any other belief system.
No matter what the corporate elite tell you, let me make something clear:
Universal health care is not radical.
A living wage is not radical.
Dignity in the workplace is not radical.
Higher education without debt is not radical.
Affordable housing is not radical.
And no matter what the Russian theorists and Trump say, everything that has happened is evidence of Russia's actual capabilities, which have declined significantly over the years.And no "ceasefire" in Ukraine, even if it materialises, will save Putin's regime.
Angela Rayner is very impressive. She's extremely underrated, i feel.
Doing a grand job as deputy Labour leader.
And holding her own in these interviews.
