Her emotions are priceless. Ukrainian kids are amazingly talented.
Congratulations, Polina!

BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly no longer using his Qatari plane because Iranian hackers broke into the Internet system and made all the TVs continually switch off Fox News and start playing YouTube videos of famous Obama speeches.

That is a fact.

Horror! The moment a Russian drone struck a swimming pool in Zaporizhzhia while swimmers were inside.

Russia: We only attack military targets.
No, you don't. You filthy terrorists attack exclusively civilian targets and have already committed over 230,000 war crimes.
Filthy scum.

BREAKING: White House officials are reportedly making emergency contingency plans in case Donald Trump during his July 4th speech celebrating the American Revolution has an "accidental fecal revolution in his pants."

🇺🇸 Donald Trump is going to lift the ban on mailing handguns directly to homes. That helps GrabAGun, the online gun store his son has a stake in. He’d rake in billions.

In any functioning democracy, this would be called massive corruption and He would have faced at least 2 years in jail.

By David Abbruzzes:

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

Very well stated.

"Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, what the f*ck is going on?" A Russian woman asks.

She's been standing in lines for three days to get fuel - without success.

First, it was "Kyiv in three days," now it's "fill your fuel tank in three days".

🇺🇸 Biden YESTERDAY: “Bibi wanted war with Iran. I blocked it. I called him a war criminal and kicked him out of my office. He sold it to Trump. The rest is history.”

🇺🇸 Trump TODAY: "We started war to help Israel."

84 year old Biden was absolutely right about him 🔥

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Holy sh*t. Check out Trump’s “Great American State Fair.” Not even 10 people showed up to watch this band. It’s empty everywhere.

Naturally, Trump posted on Truth Social yesterday, saying the state fair is “packed with happy people” and saying he did a “fantastic job.”

[Roman Sheremeta 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @rshereme]

In December 2022, during russia’s occupation of Mariupol, Ukrainian books from the library of the Pryazovskyi State Technical University were thrown out, piled in the street, and burned. This is not just an act of vandalism — it’s an attempt to erase Ukrainian language, culture, and identity.

Wherever russia occupies, it systematically bans Ukrainian language in schools, replaces curricula with russian propaganda, and destroys cultural symbols. It’s a brutal continuation of a long history of russification and cultural repression.

Book burning is a powerful symbol — it shows fear of free thought and national memory. And yet, each burned book reminds us why Ukraine’s resistance matters: because words and ideas are as dangerous to tyrants as weapons.

[Lado gamsakhurdia @lado25031988]

Russian “justice”:

In 1991, I was 4 years old when Russia occupied my home in Abkhazia. They killed my relatives.

In 2008, they invaded Georgia again.

In 2022, they came to my son’s home in Ukraine. I took up arms to defend him.

So who is the mercenary here—me or the Russians?

The Kremlin will fall. Justice will prevail.

I have had a score to settle with Russia since childhood—and they will pay.

BREAKING: Two masked protesters have climbed to the very top of the Empire State Building in NYC to raise a banner that reads:

"When the power of love beats the love of power. The world knows peace."

I'm sure Trump will call them "Antifa" and try to send them to prison for life.

During the Ukrainian delegation’s visit to Tokyo, representatives of the Japan International Cooperation Agency arrived for the talks wearing traditional Ukrainian vyshyvankas.

Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine!

[Canada Hates Trump @AntiTrumpCanada]

In 159 years, Canada has never been more united. That’s because an adjudicated rapist & convicted felon threatened to make us the 51st state.

From coast to coast, we’re proud to be Canadian… and interested in the daily obituaries.

🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day.

FUCK DONALD TRUMP.
