I see people trying to be moralist about “I hate russians” trend.
What they fail to understand is that this trend is not about hate, it is about russian impunity.
How many russian commanders and military were brought to justice?
How many times russia and russians apologized?
How many reparations did russia pay?
This is what this trend is about.

Can we maybe avoid saying, "Can you imagine if Russia did etc.?"
Because Russia has done a lot of horrific shit, and by saying this👆 you're basically whitewashing the reputation of a genocidal colonial empire that's currently waging a horrific war against Ukraine.
Just because the Russian genocide of Ukrainians isn't as efficient as they hoped it would be doesn't make it any less of a genocide
I'm so fucking tired of people sitting in their comfortable homes in the West telling me it's not. Look up the fucking definition, Stephen, it is
Russia has already destroyed 40% of Ukraine’s book publishing industry with its targeted strikes.
Kids at schools will face book shortages this year, and so many talented Ukrainian writers and thinkers won’t have their works published.
If this is not part of genocide, what is?
Bucha 2022 vs Vovchansk 2024.
different Ukrainian cities, but the same unchecked evil. bodies of executed civilians scattered on the streets just because russia is allowed to do it.
Ivanishvili and his Georgian Dream party have reached a point where it's impossible to regain the trust of Georgian people.
This is either a beginning of an authoritarian state a'la Belarus or a revolution that brings Georgia closer to the West. My bet is on the latter.
There’s a part of me that hopes I make it into the Newsletter or Humorous Writing every time I put together a satire piece.
I’m so excited that my @pointsincase piece made this weeks newsletter and is somehow sandwiched between Jack Handey and Simon Rich??
❗️The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine about the escalation in Kharkiv Oblast:
• With the beginning of the night, the russian occupiers increased the fire pressure on the front edge of Ukraine’s defense with the support of artillery;
• At approximately 5 am, there was an attempt by the enemy to break through the defense line under the cover of armored vehicles;
• As of now, these attacks have been repelled, battles of varying intensity are ongoing;
• To strengthen the defense on this part of the front, reserve units have been sent there. The Armed Forces continue to hold back the enemy's offensive.
Stay strong, Kharkiv!
Things have been developing quickly over the past 2-3 weeks in Georgia, but in the last couple of days, they have progressed at an unimaginable speed. The ruling Georgian Dream party has employed various tactics targeting civil society, escalating to an extreme level. 1/6
What an a-hole one has to be to divide the world into “great” & “not great” cultures. And how many steps is this from what Russians do: dividing the world into nations unworthy & worthy of life. Genocidable & not genocidable.

As the world looks on, the horrors inflicted on Ukrainians by the advancing Russians only get worse.
Starting May 6th, hospitals in Russian occupied Luhansk will take newborn babies from parents unless proven that at least one parent is Russian.
