Bide our time.

Our resistance
cannot afford emotion,
only quiet passion—
past November,
a gentle warming
through the winter,
until all the flowers
shine like steel
in open sun.

When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped.

Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself.

A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.

🎒 Las mochilas vacías sobre una cancha de fútbol representan algo que ninguna estadística puede mostrar: los sueños interrumpidos de niños y niñas que nunca volvieron a clases.

Más allá de las banderas y los conflictos geopolíticos, cuando las víctimas son estudiantes, la humanidad entera fracasa.

Que el deporte sirva también para recordar a quienes ya no pueden alzar la voz. La selección de Irán elevo la humanidad del encuentro.

Nació el 3 de junio de 1986 mientras en México se jugaba un Mundial. Su padre lo llamó Josimar en homenaje al defensa brasileño que marcó dos golazos en aquel torneo. Cuarenta años después, Josimar estaba en otro Mundial. Esta vez como protagonista.

Su apodo es Vozinha, abuelita en portugués. Se lo pusieron de niño en Mindelo, Cabo Verde, porque cuando perdía en los partidos callejeros se iba a casa a refugiarse con sus abuelos. Lo que empezó como burla terminó siendo el nombre que llevaría grabado en la camiseta durante toda su carrera.

Vozinha no pasó por academias famosas. Empezó profesionalmente a los 21 años y jugó en Cabo Verde, Angola, Moldavia, Portugal, Chipre y Eslovaquia. Sin contratos millonarios. Sin titulares. Guardameta de clubes modestos esperando un momento que cada año parecía más imposible.

Ayer, a los 40 años, Cabo Verde jugó su primer partido mundialista de la historia. El rival era España, campeón de Europa.

España tuvo el 75% de la posesión. Realizó 27 remates. Vozinha respondió con siete atajadas, incluyendo una salvada a una mano después de que el balón golpeara el larguero.

El partido terminó 0-0.

Cuando sonó el pitido final, Vozinha lloró. Cabo Verde tenía su primer punto en la historia de un Mundial. Él era el mejor jugador del partido.

El niño que volvía corriendo a casa de sus abuelos cuando perdía terminó defendiendo el sueño de todo un país en la mayor competición del mundo.

Y Vozinha, el apodo que intentó hacerle pequeño, estaba escrito con orgullo en la espalda del héroe.

Amir Ghalenoei, técnico da Seleção do Irã, após o empate contra a Nova Zelândia: ''Somos a seleção mais oprimida da história da Copa'.

"Nem nós sabemos [porque vamos ter que sair] e é realmente engraçado. O planejamento da nossa equipe é feito em um lugar, mas a decisão final é tomada em outro. Deveríamos ter vindo para Los Angeles duas noites antes do jogo, mas não permitiram. Nosso plano era ficar aqui esta noite, descansar e voltar amanhã à tarde, mas mesmo assim não permitiram, e eu não sei por quê.

É por isso que digo que a seleção iraniana é talvez a mais oprimida da história da Copa do Mundo. O presidente da federação não está aqui, o gerente da equipe não está aqui, o gerente interno da equipe não está aqui, o departamento de mídia não está aqui. Parte das responsabilidades pré-jogo que deveriam ser da diretoria ficaram a cargo da comissão técnica, enquanto o foco da comissão técnica deveria ser em questões técnicas. É por isso que digo que somos a seleção mais oprimida da história da Copa do Mundo."

When a family in Vermont reached out to Baltimore restaurant owner Steve Chu asking for the recipe of a favorite dish enjoyed by their terminally ill loved one, they expected instructions.

Instead, they received something far more meaningful.

Steve Chu, co-owner of Ekiben, loaded his truck with ingredients and drove nearly six hours from Baltimore to Vermont.

Along with his team, he set up a makeshift kitchen outside the woman's home and prepared her beloved meal fresh on-site.

They refused payment and simply wanted to bring comfort and happiness during a difficult time.

What began as a request for a recipe became an unforgettable act of compassion, proving that kindness often travels much farther than anyone expects.

Just back from DocuDays UA in Kyiv, where Don't Ask Me If I Killed by Helena Maksyom had its world premiere. Won Best Film in the Ukrainian competition and Best Editing.

A standing ovation. Soldiers, civilians and foreign guests in the same room, watching a film that speaks to their shared experience of these years. Afterward, meeting families of those who didn't come back, some of whose names are in the end credits.

Helena spent three and a half years on the front, in places like Pokrovsk, Bakhmut and Zaporizhzhia, fighting for her home and those she loves. This film carries that with it.

Some filmmakers round off the edges of their convictions to avoid making audiences uncomfortable. Helena doesn't have that luxury, and wouldn't take it if she did. Sometimes, to preserve humanity, it isn't enough to hide behind a camera. Sometimes you pick up a weapon and fight the forces that want to drag the world back into chaos.

Ukrainians have lost an enormous amount, but they are not broken. If anything, they are stronger and more determined to preserve their nation with dignity and grace. They will not be beaten.

The film's international premiere is coming soon, with broadcast and streaming across Europe this winter.

Glory to Ukraine.

The word "freedom" has been doing enormous political labor in America for a very long time and it is exhausted.

Freedom from what? Freedom for whom?

Freedom to drop napalm on civilians and call it "liberation"?

Freedom to overthrow a democratically elected government and call it "stability"?

Freedom to run a global network of military bases in every region on earth and call it "defense"?

These are not perversions of the word.

This is the word as it has functioned in American political life for generations.

And the citizens who use it genuinely believe in it.

That is the important part.

They are not lying when they say it. They have been given a version of "freedom" that is entirely compatible with empire because it was designed that way.

Freedom that begins at their border and ends there.

Freedom that applies to them and is delivered to others by force, whether the others requested it or not.

Freedom as the brand name on the product.

Not as a description of the thing inside the box.

On my way home this afternoon, I spotted an elderly white woman lying on the sidewalk at the corner of Peoria and 49th Street, while a young Asian woman was trying to talk to her.
I quickly turned around and parked in the Burger Street parking lot just as another car arrived. I got out of my car at the same time as a young Black man.
We both checked her condition and saw that she had fallen backwards while using a walker, hitting her head on the concrete.
I said I would call for help, and the young Black man went to his car to get a soft jacket and gently placed it under her head to protect her from the scorching heat of the pavement (it was 38°C today). Soon, other kind people arrived.
A young white woman took an umbrella from her car to protect the woman's face from the sun, while another brought towels to place under her bare arms.
A young Hispanic employee from Burger Street came out with a bucket of fresh water and a cloth for her forehead.
Together—Black, White, Asian, and Hispanic—we all worked to help an elderly white woman who had fallen. This is the America I believe in and love: an America filled with compassion, kindness, and love, regardless of race, age, or gender

This is how a strong, brave, and unbreakable generation of Ukrainians is growing.

🚨🇧🇷 Ronaldo Nazário on the difference between prime Brazil and today's Brazil:

"Today's players are like crying babies. In our time, football was pure passion. We weren't focused on fashion, social media, or building a personal brand. Our lives revolved around football. We trained hard, played through pain, and gave everything for the badge, our teammates, and the fans."

"We didn't step onto the pitch thinking about followers or sponsorships. We thought about winning, making Brazil proud, and leaving everything on the field. Football came first, and everything else was secondary."

"In our era, every nation feared Brazil. Opponents were beaten before the match even started because they knew they were facing Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Cafu, Roberto Carlos and so many world-class players. Today, that fear factor is gone."

"That hunger, sacrifice, and obsession with the game is what made our generation special. We lived football every single day."

🛑 ANGELINA JOLIE SPEAKS ABOUT THE HORRORS OF FRONTLINE CITIES: “HUMAN SAFARI” AND THE CONSTANT THREAT OF DRONES

Hollywood star and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie has visited Mykolaiv and Kherson — and what she saw shocked even this experienced human rights advocate.

😨 WHAT STOOD OUT TO JOLIE:
🔹️ The constant buzzing of drones in the sky — locals call it “human safari”
🔹️ Schools, clinics, and kindergartens relocated to fortified basements
🔹️ People living under the psychological weight of constant danger
🔹️ The fear of being forgotten by the world

💔 HER WORDS:
🔹️ “It’s hard to understand how, in a world with such powerful diplomatic tools, civilians in Ukraine continue to suffer every single day.”

🇺🇦 NOT HER FIRST VISIT:
This is Jolie’s second trip to Ukraine — back in April 2022, she visited Lviv, where she met with children affected by Russian shelling.

❗ IMPORTANCE:
Visits like this carry great significance — when global celebrities come and stand with Ukrainians, it helps draw the world’s attention to our struggle!

P.S. This is yet another proof that our fight is the fight of the entire civilized world against Russian terror!
Thank you, Ms. Jolie, for your courage and your support! 🇺🇦💙💛
