Christian organizations are often uniquely positioned to effect massive change in crisis because local churches and faith networks can identify needs quickly, remain present after media attention fades, and build trust within communities. #iam823

Time for a confession: I support the dismantling of Russia.
I reject the imperial ambitions of the so-called Russian opposition, including figures like Yashin, Khodorkovsky, and others.
My priority is the freedom of Russia's indigenous peoples and the dismantling of the imperial legacy. I have no interest in preserving "ethnic Russia" within its current borders, and I firmly oppose attempts to keep the Russian Federation intact. Unlike those who draw fantasy maps of imaginary "Pskov Republics," my vision is based on real ethnic, cultural, infrastructural, and economic ties, with the goal of creating viable and successful new states.
This is my vision of the post-Russian space, consisting of seven sovereign state unions:
• Republic of Russia
• Pomor Federation (modern successor to the Novgorod Republic)
- Pomor Republic (including the Nenets Autonomous Okrug and a restored Karelian Autonomous Republic)
- Baltic Republic (including Kaliningrad, or alternatively joining Lithuania)
- Republic of Perm (including Komi)
- Republic of Udmurtia
• Idel-Ural Federation
- Republic of Tatarstan
- Republic of Bashkortostan
- Republic of Mari El
- Republic of Mordovia
- Republic of Chuvashia
- Volga Republic
• Don Republic (including the Adyghe Autonomous Region)
• North Caucasus Federation
- Each indigenous people would have its own republic.
• Kalmykia Autonomous Region, Astrakhan Region, and the Kazakh-populated borderlands would become part of Kazakhstan.
• Siberian Federation
- Republic of Siberia
- Khakass Republic (including a Shor Autonomous Region)
- Republic of Tuva
- Altai Republic
- Republic of Buryatia
- Yugra Republic (including the Yamal Autonomous Region, Dolgan Autonomous Region, and Tungus Autonomous Region)
• Far Eastern Federation
- Primorye Republic
- Evenki Republic
- Even Republic
- Kamchatka Republic (including Koryakia and the Chukotka Autonomous Region)
- Republic of Sakha
Each of these seven state unions is rooted in historical precedent. None of them is a fantasy—they represent the revival of republics and state projects that proclaimed independence during the revolutionary period of 1917–1922.
Stubb: This conflict ends at over one million Russian dead and or wounded soldiers. In the active war against Ukraine, they have advanced 60 kms. This is where it ends. So we have to stop driving this narrative that Russia is on top. It's not. This is going to be a strategic failure for Russia.
“The army will turn its weapons against the Kremlin”
Russian soldier threatens Putin with a military mutiny.
He claims that russian soldiers are being tortured and punished for refusing to carry out “senseless suicidal orders.”
Trump's new U.S. passport includes the text: "Welcome, but be good."
Isn't the point of a passport that Americans use it when they travel abroad?
The message makes no sense in that context, and I don't think Trump understands how passports work.
To anyone who takes russia's side and says they are "liberating russian speakers"
Look, just look, THIS is what russian liberation looks like, THIS is the ruskie mir (russian world)
All they know is death.
The Russian Orthodox Church is merely one of the money laundering arms of Putin's terrorist state, and its "priests" are filthy savages.
Here's one providing a dose of those famed Christian conservative values to a seller of flowers this morning in Moscow.
Hegseth is out of his league and is stomping around like an impudent kindergartener. His testosterone driven rants are weakening our military by removing the true war fighters.
Backlash is growing over the looming retirement of a top Army general, with a chorus of backers questioning the sidelining of a leader considered instrumental in preparing the military for a new era of warfare. (from @john_vandiver) https://t.co/3B4OTeZNjp
WATCH OUT FOR THE DROWNING MAN – PUTIN’S DESPERATE SCRAMBLE FOR THE MEAT GRINDER! 🇷🇺📉🩸
There is an old saying: beware of a drowning swimmer, for in his panic, he will drag anyone down just to stay afloat. This is exactly the corner Vladimir Putin has painted himself into. His "three-day blitz" has now dragged on longer than the entirety of World War I. Russian forces have completely stalled, and in many sectors, they are actively losing ground.
The cost of the Kremlin's pride is staggering. Anne Keast-Butler, head of the UK intelligence agency GCHQ, recently revealed updated intelligence showing that Russian combat deaths alone have neared 500,000. When adding the severely wounded, total casualties cross a mind-boggling 1.3 million.
Ratios on the ground suggest Russia is losing eight men for every single Ukrainian casualty. Losing over 30,000 troops a month this year has triggered absolute panic within the Russian enlistment offices. In a desperate bid to buy more bodies, the Kremlin is now offering unprecedented sign-on bonuses of up to $80,000 alongside $140,000 in debt relief. Putin is trying to spend his way out of a mathematical collapse, but cash cannot replace a decimated generation! 🍿🇷🇺

Le Kremlin face à l’ultimatum d’un vétéran : "On n’a pas eu le temps de regarder".
13 millions de vues en 24h pour la vidéo d’Alexandre Louinine, ex-commandant de section du bataillon Soudoplatov. Il dénonce les zindans - ces prisons-souterraines où l’armée russe enferme ses propres soldats.
Menace : Un soulèvement militaire si Poutine ne le reçoit pas.
Peskov, le porte-parole du Kremlin, dit un "On nous a dit qu’il y avait une vidéo, mais on a pas encore eu le temps de la voir…" à des journalistes.
Louinine, déjà en route pour Moscou sans invitation, a exhorté les abonnés à lui envoyer des preuves de torture et d'autres crimes qui sont commis dans les forces armées de la Fédération de Russie contre leurs propres soldats.
Son mot d’ordre : "Jamais la pourriture n’a pu vaincre la vérité."
Le Kremlin ignore-t-il vraiment… ou fait-il semblant ?
..........
"Mes amis, il y a une boucherie très sérieuse qui se profile et ce n'est pas du tout une blague. Si Valdimir Vladimirovich fait preuve de bon sens maintenant et répond aux messages des militaires....
Ces gens qui sont venus chez moi hier. Alors, on peut éviter cela. Si ce n'est pas le cas, je pense qu'il y aura dans le pays un tel chaos qu'il n'y en a jamais eu.
Parce ce que l'ennemi extérieur ne dort pas, il voit tout ça. Et bien sûr, il utilisera tout cela à ses propres fins.

@ZelenskyyUa Brother, I just want to shake your hand. It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve and support the children and families of Ukraine. Thank you for who you are and what you do. May God bless you and your family richly. #славаукраїні
Every Russian defense facility that serves the war against Ukraine is a just target for our long-range sanctions.
Last night, FP-5 Flamingo missiles successfully struck the Titan-Barrikady facility in Volgograd. It is a major industrial complex where the enemy produces artillery systems and specialized military equipment, including components for missile launch systems used in attacks against our people. Confirmed strikes were followed by a fire on the plant's premises. I thank the warriors of our Defense Forces for their precision.
The reach of Ukraine's long-range sanctions continues to expand. And it is precisely our pressure, day after day, that lays the groundwork for a dignified peace in the end. I am grateful to every Ukrainian engineer and warrior who is making our long-range capabilities possible. Glory to Ukraine!
A Russian man questions what will happen if China decides to move on Russia:
"If they keep bombing the refineries, in another month or two we’ll have to move around on horses and donkeys. And if China enters… we won’t even have gasoline to fuel an APC. We’ve completely bared our a** on the Far East."
This is a message to the peoples and regions of Russia
You have the right to self-determination and to rise up for freedom and independence from Moscow.
Only you can decide your own fate!
Together, we can cut Moscow off from the riches of Komi, Ingria, Karelia, the Caucasus, the Kuban, the Volga Region, the Urals, Siberia, and the Far East.
Let's defeat the empire together!
Join us!

What started as former Russian army commander Akexander Lunin threatening Putin over the epidemic of brutality, theft and murder in the Russian military is quickly becoming the seeds of civil war, as military units are producing videos joining the threats against the Kremlin.
THIS JUST IN: Pete Hegseth has decided to take away the rank from all military Chaplins- because they're not ‘warfighters’. Since WW One, US Chaplins have won 5 Medals of Honor, 26 Distinguished Service Crosses, 1 Navy Cross, 45 Silver Stars and 719 Bronze Stars for valor.
A child who has already lost home, routine, and safety does not need a charity gesture. That child needs a bed tonight, food this week, trauma care over time, and adults who will not disappear when the headlines shift.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 FEDOROV ON PUTIN’S MISSILE LIMITS
"Russia launched 30 ballistic missiles at Kyiv just days ago. That is the maximum Putin can show.
He cannot advance on the battlefield and achieve his goals with Shaheds or cruise missiles. So he fires everything at civilians and calls it strength." - Mykhailo Fedorov 🇺🇦
When the battlefield does not give Moscow victory, the Kremlin tries to manufacture fear from the sky. That is not strength. It is frustration with a missile trail.
