Scientists in Atlanta were stopped from criticizing the Trump admin at a scientific conference, so let me do it here:
Trump is destroying biomedical research in America, and it will take decades to get back on track.
Spread the word. Stand up for science.
Truth from a woman who moved from Moscow to Ukraine.
"Hello everyone, my name is Ksyusha. I’m a Russian from Moscow who moved to Ukraine during the war. Today, I’m addressing my fellow countrymen.
Nearly 200 drones over Moscow. For the second time in three days, the refinery in Kapotnya is burning. “Lyublino” is burning. All four of the capital’s airports are shut down. This is no coincidence. This is the first serious demonstration that Ukraine is capable of bringing the war deep into Russia. The drones were slow. Next, they’ll be faster. Next, more precise. Ukraine already has its own cruise missiles and ballistic developments. What seemed impossible yesterday is reality today.
While you’re in shock from the sirens and smoke over Moscow, people in Kherson, Sumy, Kharkiv, Odesa, and Kyiv have been living with this for five years already. Destroyed homes, strikes, constant fear.
I know the Moscow where sirens never wailed. Now you’ve felt at least a drop of what they feel every single day.
All the responsibility lies with Vladimir Putin and his regime. With the propagandists who stoke hatred every day. And with the millions of Russians who either support this war or stay silent. Russia started this war. That’s why everything now flying our way is a direct consequence of that choice.
If Putin gives the order to stop the war—it will stop that same day. Zelenskyy has already offered a ceasefire many times. There’s no response. Until that order comes—the strikes on Russia will only intensify. This isn’t revenge. This is forced self-defense.
Ukraine didn’t want this war. It’s simply forced to survive. It’s time to admit it!
the @KyivPride march today is led by Ukrainian queer soldiers and vets carrying pictures and names of queer Ukrainian heroes killed while fighting homophobic russian empire. Ukraine fights for a better, dignified future for all of us.
While I was briefly back in the US, I was disheartened by how many would say "oh is that still going on?" when referring to the war in Ukraine.
It was incredibly frustrating for me especially as an active duty medic in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. At that point its just willful ignorance. Everyone has a cellphone, laptop, tablet, etc. Information is literally at your finger tips. But instead of informing oneself properly, the choice seems to be watching AI slop, mainstream media, and other short attention span apps.
The was is not over, it has not slowed down, we are still working and fighting for freedom in Ukraine, the frontline is still 1000 km long, civilians are still being killed by r*ssia every day. We can only go so far to inform you. The rest is up to you. Up to date sources, @KyivIndependent@KyivPost@saintjavelin@U24_gov_ua
Stay informed and inform others.
