A few days ago, I rescued a pregnant mama cat. Today, she gave birth to two beautiful kittens, and one of them immediately stole a piece of our hearts.
The tiny baby came into the world barely moving. His little body was limp and quickly losing heat. I cleaned and dried him and ended up performing CPR on this tiny kitten, desperately trying to bring him back.
Then, after what felt like forever, he opened his tiny mouth and let out the most powerful scream. I will never forget that sound. I couldn’t believe something so small could have that much fight in him.
I placed him back with his mama, but he became limp again while his sibling was moving around and looking for food. I tried CPR again, gently massaging his tiny heart, and once again, he screamed.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t latch onto his mama, so my son rushed out to get kitten formula. We started feeding him ourselves, and so far, he’s still fighting.
Please keep your fingers crossed for this little warrior. The fight isn’t over yet, but he has already fought so hard just to stay alive. 🐾🙏❤️
I hope everyone is having a less stressful Sunday than I am.
🇳🇪 Niger at the UN:
"Ladies and Gentlemen, as I speak to you, at our northeast borders stand the proxies led by France, backed by Ukraine and 2 other countries."
"And you know full well which countries I mean."
"These proxies are armed, guided, directed, about to attack our military positions and our oil installations. But they will get what they deserve, inshallah."
"Our Sahel is at war. A war of liberation against a conspiracy aimed at its recolonization."
"What some call terrorism in our region is a cynical scheme of recolonization dressed in extremist rags."
"Niger's uranium, the gold of Mali and Burkina, lithium, gas, oil and so many other riches keep the old powers salivating."
"This perfidious destabilization of the central Sahel, led by France with Ukraine's active complicity -- documented, very documented."
"Niger's uranium lit up Europe's cities while ours stayed in darkness. This injustice has now ended. It is over."
"A people that has decided to be free cannot be recolonized, not by fear, nor by cunning, nor even by savage violence."

Hail, Mary! Full of grace,
The Lord is with thee;
Blessed are thou among women,
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners,
Now, and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
I almost gave up on him… but love won. ❤️🐾
Four years ago, Tom-Tom was just the neighborhood feral cat who started showing up in my backyard. I knew I was moving to another city, and something inside me simply could not leave him behind.
Dios te salve, María

Imagine surviving 15 years on the streets... 💔
Fifteen years of sleeping on cold concrete.
Fifteen years of scorching summers and freezing nights.
Fifteen years of hunger, loneliness, and wondering if anyone would ever care.
But Grandpa Goody never gave up. ❤️

@JanSturk@Rusia_HD La amenaza viene de la NATO que quiere a Ucraina bajo su posesión para acercar sus misiles contra Rusia. Y si Ucraina no entiende que debe ser neutral...
LA PROPOSTA DI PACE CHE ARRIVA DALL’OPPOSIZIONE UCRAINA
Mentre il portavoce del Cremlino, Dmitry Peskov, ha recentemente ribadito che la Russia è pronta a fornire tutte le garanzie di sicurezza se i rappresentanti ucraini vorranno recarsi a Mosca o a Minsk per trattare, pubblico di seguito la durissima e discussa dichiarazione ufficiale del deputato ucraino (ed ex membro del partito di Zelensky) Artem Dmytruk, che fotografa la profonda spaccatura interna alle istituzioni di Kiev:
"Nessuno dei rappresentanti del governo ucraino ha motivo di temere un viaggio a Mosca o a Minsk per i negoziati!
Per l'ennesima volta, risuona un appello chiaro e comprensibile: venite, e troveremo un accordo! In modo onesto! In modo umano! Senza l'aiuto di 'partner' e via dicendo!
Sediamoci e parliamone!
Quindi, ancora una volta: la pace è possibile ed è più vicina che mai!
E ogni giorno ci troviamo di fronte a una scelta: o assistiamo alla distruzione della nostra terra e del nostro popolo, o eleggiamo un nuovo capo del parlamento che, nei casi previsti dalla Costituzione, svolgerà le funzioni di Presidente dell'Ucraina, creiamo un nuovo gruppo di negoziato e andiamo a Mosca per i negoziati!
Sì, senza fondazioni e Soros!
Sì, senza attivisti e sostenitori del nazionalismo!
Sì, senza Bandera e il resto della sua banda!
Ma con l'Ucraina, con la nostra Chiesa, con i nostri eroi e, soprattutto, con la PACE
- Artem Dmytruk

Heroic Latvian authorities have begun covering the names of Russian cities on road signs.
I presume they think the biggest country in Europe, and the largest on Earth, will now dissappear?

Soy de Andalucía, España, y Rusia no es mi enemigo, mis enemigos son directamente los líderes europeos que nos llevan al matadero para justificar el robo de nuestro dinero, sí, el de los europeos.

La lucidità del professor Luciano Canfora andrebbe studiata. A 84 anni suonati, si mette nel taschino tutti quei soloni propagandisti che ci parlano di resistenza ucraina e ripetono come dei pappagalli le veline della NATO e di Ursula von der Leyen.
Leggete con molta attenzione:
"In Ucraina non stiamo dando armi a una resistenza, ma a un Paese che col suo esercito combatte una guerra con un altro. E con un esito molto diverso dalla fine della Seconda guerra mondiale...La corruzione regna sovrana. Si immagina Parri (Partigiano ndr.) che rubacchia o si rivende le armi della Resistenza?
Abbiamo 27 Paesi europei e gli Usa che conducono una guerra alla Russia attraverso l’utilizzo dell’Ucraina, dopo che fallì il processo di smembramento della Federazione russa iniziato con Eltsin.
I Paesi europei stanno mandando quattrini a non finire senza sapere neanche che fine facciano. Le stesse armi circolano poi in un commercio illegale. Gli oligarchi ucraini si stanno rimpannucciando a spese dei nostri stupidi governi che svenano i propri Paesi per “morire per Danzica”.
Mi prenderò come sempre del putiniano, ma con questo prolungare il conflitto il pericolo è di andare verso il peggio, invece che mettere fine alla guerra."
Nient'altro da aggiungere. Sipario!

ON CLASS AND WAR
People like Meaghan Mobbs, a representative of the American establishment, cannot understand why I defend Ukrainian working-class men against forced conscription.
Let me explain.
I was born into a working-class family.
I grew up in a village.
My father worked as a driver, a builder, and a construction worker. Now he has cancer. And a pension of 80$ per month.
My mother, in the brutal post-Soviet 1990s, traveled to Russia to sell products made by our local glass factory just to keep our family fed. Hauling those heavy loads destroyed her back. She suffered from spinal hernias for the rest of her life. She died of cancer at 60.
We lived in a village, in a house without indoor plumbing. While other kids went to art classes and extracurricular activities, I worked in the fields because my family had to do it to survive.
All my life, I dreamed of escaping poverty and getting an education. Fight for change.
And now that I am a mother to a son, I am not prepared to sacrifice him to a war while the Mindiches, Zuckermans, Zelenskys, and others count their money — while my son is expected to fight in a war they refuse to bring to an end.
And there are many Mothers, Sisters, and Daughters like me. Hundreds of thousands of us. Millions.
Among them are my own relatives who have lost their husbands. They were ordinary working men without university degrees. They did not have the money or connections to buy their way out when the draft officers came for them.
Now they lie in the cold, damp earth.
We are tired of graves.
We are tired of being told to surrender the most precious — and ultimately the only — thing Ukraine’s corrupt political class has left us: Our Lives.
This war has a class dimension that establishment voices would rather not discuss.
Those with money, connections, influence, foreign passports, and powerful friends have options. Working-class men have far fewer.
And then the privileged have the audacity to lecture working-class families about sacrifice.
No.
That is why I will continue to defend ordinary people's right to resist forced conscription. I will defend the people who refuse to become expendable bodies for a political class that demands sacrifices it so often does not make itself.
Glory to the Deserters!
Glory to Peace!
Glory to Life!
