I have my own thoughts

[MFWitches @MFWitches]

How the fuck do we live in a country where everyone knows “monoculture” is just Nazi code for “white australia” but the media keep on refusing to call it out?

After every Russian escalation into a NATO country we hear leaders repeating the mantra "We stand with..."

But we could do much more than standing around.

For example — we could create a European-Ukrainian defense union. Fund it with confiscated Russian frozen assets. Close the skies in Ukraine, making Ukraine and other frontline states safer.

These things are very possible and this work could start today.

Instead, I am sadly reminded of how Britain and France “stood with” Poland in 1939 while that country was being dismembered. It was called the Phony War, because mere declarations of “support” mean very little on the ground, and do nothing to prevent real war.

Actions always speak louder than words, and usually cost much less than inaction.

[Oleksandr Yakovenko @alex_chenkov]

Four years ago we begged the world to close the sky over us.

The world watched us bury our children instead.

Every Shahed we now know how to intercept - we learned on a Ukrainian grave.

Today the world asks us to close their sky.

We will. For a price. Ours has already been paid. No invoice can match it.

Lest we forget.

April 24, 2025. While Kyiv slept, a North Korean missile — supplied to russia — killed at least 12 civilians, including children.

The world watches in silence. Ukrainians keep dying.

Never forget.

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

Listening to this American Caligula moron and his deranged power-hungry accomplice a year later, while all Zelensky's words have come true.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Ever fucking day. And yet many are more concerned about Ukraine bombing the Russian energy infrastructure that funds its war of aggression and murders Ukrainian children.

Remember when they were going to save the Iranian people

[UAVoyager🇺🇦 @NAFOvoyager]

March 2022. I remember this boy — Dmytro. He was just 3.

📽 "Where is my dad?" cries a young Ukrainian boy, injured in a russian attack.

The world looked away. russia kept killing and maiming our children. It never stopped.

[Joni Askola @joni_askola]

It is beyond pathetic to watch European jets actively shoot down drones in the Middle East while refusing to do the exact same thing over Ukraine.

We are willing to militarily defend airspace on another continent but let a European nation face genocide alone

[Angelica Shalagina🇺🇦 @angelshalagina]

The world is silently watching
while russians keep destroying us.

Killing civilians.
Killing children.
Aiming at our homes.

Kyiv didn’t sleep all night.
The attack didn’t stop till evening.

Lviv - hit in the center.
Ivano-Frankivsk.
Ternopil.
Middle of the day.

Please don’t look away.
Don’t let putin repeat this again and again.

It’s time for action.
Not words.

Because this is not a movie.
We are real people.

And we are dying.

[Oleksiy Sorokin @mrsorokaa]

There’s only one reason for Russia to attack the historic Lviv city center, 1,000km west of the front lines, in broad daylight, and that’s to kill Ukrainian people and destroy their cultural heritage.

[Angelica Shalagina🇺🇦 @angelshalagina]

💔💔Horrific news from Sumy region.

A russian drone flew straight into the cabin of a truck while grain was being loaded.

The 40-year-old driver was killed instantly.

Just a man doing his job.
Just another civilian life taken by russia’s war.

[Sir Pip Oliver Fella 🇺🇦🇺🇸🇬🇧 💙 @pip_sir]

Today marks the 4th anniversary of when Russia deliberately bombed Mariupol Theatre killings hundreds of women & children who had been sheltering inside. This despite the word ‘Children’ written in huge letters outside.
Please repost this message show that they are not forgotten

[Maria Avdeeva @maria_avdv]

Another Russian Shahed drone strike on a passenger train. This time near Sumy.

If this happened anywhere else in the world, it would be breaking news.
So why isn’t it?

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Russia just crashed a five‑story apartment building onto people’s heads in the middle of the night‼️

The building is simply gone! It was homes, families.

[Fellaraktar🇺🇦 @fellaraktar]

Wait.

They want Ukraines help shooting down Iranian drones?

Ukraine should send:

5 interceptors (to be delivered in 3 months).

No operators (would cross red lines).

Best wishes.

Condemnations of Irans actions.

[Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦 @IAPonomarenko]

Do you remember that very night -- the night before the day of all days, four years ago?

How many of us didn’t sleep at all.

We sat in the dark in silence, in front of our laptops, refreshing news feeds.

Here was Blinken saying the invasion was inevitable within the next few hours. Here was Zelensky speaking in the middle of the night in Russian, pleading with all Russians to come to their senses at the last moment and not take a fatal step.

Here was the news that the runways of Ukraine’s largest airports had been blocked with overturned vehicles.

We sat with Flighradar24 open. Here at 1 a.m., over northern and eastern Ukraine, an American drone was making multiple circles, monitoring the massive Russian grouping on our border from Belarus to Crimea.

A plane seemed to have taken off, evacuating Turkish diplomats. They must have been among the last ones... Russia had closed all airspace along its entire border with Ukraine later on.

In journalists’ chats, hundreds of colleagues just as sleepless. “Guys, be ready… it seems like today.”

But hope, of course, died last.

Maybe today it would pass. Maybe it was still a bluff and blackmail, because that would be logical. They couldn’t possibly go through with such madness. It would be a catastrophe of biblical proportions and a bloody slaughter in which it would be impossible to win. They couldn’t fail to understand that.

And then -- “live” on Russian TV (in reality, of course, everything had been recorded well in advance as part of a pre-invasion propaganda performance) -- Putin’s face, distorted with sadistic hatred and a smirk of gloating, announcing the “special military operation.”

What is there to say, four years have passed since that night.

If someone had told me then that four years later independent Ukraine would be at the forefront of the entire free world,
fighting alone on equal terms against the full military power of Russia,
with the Ukrainian flag over every regional capital that was free from occupation that night,
with Ukrainian-made drones and cruise missiles that smash Russian oil refineries, airfields, and giant military factories every single night
— I would never, ever have believed it.

And yet, through unparalleled heroism and enormous sacrifice, fighting Ukraine has changed the course of history.

She disproved all the arrogant skeptics who were burying her alive back then and giving her no chance, already ready to run and “negotiate” with yet another deranged maniac hungry for blood and territorial grabs.

Glory to Ukraine!

"I was today years old when I found out the Australian government makes more from taxing beer ($2.7 billion) than from our massive LNG exports ($1.5 billion).

Australia is one of the world's top LNG exporters — yet beer drinkers are subsidising the budget more than big gas corporations.

Make this make sense

Australians, you aren't angry enough about this. 😡🔥

Thanks @AlboMP

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

I stand with Heraskevych! Sacrifice upon sacrifice, and still Ukrainians will not bow or break.

[Mark Gottlieb @MarkGottlieb]

How is it that a bloke who spent most of his life smashing his head into breakdowns makes our politicians and political establishment look like they’re the ones suffering a concussion?

Where’s the David Pocock party when you need it? #AusPol
