Today is Mother’s Day. And today, more than ever, we want to say the most important word of all: thank you. Thank you for absolute love that truly knows no bounds, and for everything a mother does for her child and family.
The realities of war have changed the lives of millions of Ukrainian families. And today, Ukrainian mothers embody incredible resilience, courage, bravery, and the love that helps us endure.
Thank you to every mother for the gift of life, for believing in your children, and for your prayers, protection, and support.
BREAKING: Chornobyl Exclusion Zone is burning. Over 1,200 hectares of forest already destroyed.
russian Shahed drones, drought, hurricane-force winds, and russian mines left since 2022 turned firefighting into hell.
This is not a wildfire.
This is russian ecocide.

Rachel Scott is the Senior Political Correspondent for ABC News covering the White House and Congress.
She asked Donald Trump why he was focused on a ballroom instead of rising gas prices.
There’s no good answer for that so he called her a bitch.
Over the past weeks in Europe, I’ve been sounding the alarm in meetings & forums: Russia’s hybrid war isn’t just in Ukraine or Africa, it’s already on European soil. From sabotage plots to disinformation and proxy forces destabilizing the continent, the threat is real and growing
Yesterday evening, the russian horde attacked a high-rise residential building in Kharkiv 😡! Five civilians were injured 😔! @IntlCrimCourt#RussiaPutinTrashOfHumanity https://t.co/KiaTXncqws
Trump claimed that Putin agreed to a prison swap in return for Zelenskyy agreeing to a ceasefire so Putin could hold his parade in peace. Now it looks like Putin reneged on the deal. Will Trump respond? Or just rollover again?
APPLEBAUM: Ukraine has drone technology that other people want. EU now able to guarantee funding for Ukraine. Ukraine has become a player in world politics and is valuable to other countries. I think that’s really flipped the narrative. Suddenly, it looks like Ukraine has cards.
We've undoubtedly had secret atheists/agnostics as President before.
We've NEVER had someone so flagrantly mock God and still have millions of people view him as a man "sent on a mission from above".
Truly, truly wild and bewildering.
Danke an alle, die heute in Berlin Haltung gezeigt haben.
Danke an diejenigen, die den Aufmärschen, den Georgsbändern und der alten imperialen Erzählung nicht schweigend das Feld überlassen haben. Danke an alle, die widersprochen haben — ruhig, sichtbar, entschlossen.
Danke an alle Unterstützerinnen und Unterstützer aus Berlin und darüber hinaus, die dokumentiert, begleitet, geschützt, fotografiert, übersetzt, organisiert und Haltung gezeigt haben.
Danke an alle Ukrainerinnen und Ukrainer, die heute trotz Schmerz, Erschöpfung und der Nachrichten aus der Heimat auf den Straßen waren. Danke für eure Fahnen, eure Stimmen, eure Geschichten und euren Mut.
DANKE
Ted Lieu says the unreleased Epstein files show Trump r*ping children.
That’s what’s being hidden. That’s why the files stay sealed. That’s why there are no arrests.
Release everything. Or resign.
Symbolism can be powerful. PM @MarkJCarney wearing a vyshyvanka (Ukrainian embroidered shirt) for Vyshyvanka Day shows that Canada recognizes the importance of supporting and celebrating Ukrainian culture while Russia is working to totally destroy and eradicate it.
