To those outraged by drone strikes on Moscow, yet quick to call Ukraine’s actions “terrorism”: this is what real terrorism looks like.
That terrorism has a name: russia.
Dear Chris,
I can start by telling you who my audience is not.
It is NOT you.
It is NOT the pundit class that rarely leaves the safety of its Georgetown cocktail parties.
It is NOT the chattering class who gets paid to pretend it knows the mind of the American people.
It is NOT for anyone who looks at everything through the lens of politics.
The people I am talking to are tired of the bullshit.
The people I want to speak with are the 50 million Americans still sick and suffering. The families fighting for the lives of the those they love.
Whether they are people living in the shame and fear of being canceled, or consumed by grief after the loss of someone they love, they are just looking for a slight glimmer of hope that they too can get back up again.
My audience is the people who feel unheard, unseen, and uninvited, just like me.
My audience also includes my perceived enemies, those pitted against me by you and your colleagues in the media. I want to meet them where they are and help build a bridge. A bridge built of that which connects all of us. That’s where we begin to actually heal.
And it’s not as if my intent is difficult to understand or discern. Just read and listen to what I have said on this platform, and the 18+ hours of unscripted pod casts I have done.
I think your shock as to why anyone would care says far more about you than it does about me. Take a look at the comments to your post.
And I also know this: people are tired of the bullshit. They’re tired of you and the chattering classes’ obsession with my family as Rome burns.
So instead of wondering why people care about what I have to say, Chris, maybe you should concern yourself with why no one cares anymore about what you and everyone you represent has to say.
Everyone, this is SERIOUS.
There is a #russianfuelcrisis, shortages reported all over russia, Moscow is running out and the public is freaking out, which makes it even worse, so PLEASE don't use the hashtag #russianfuelcrisis and DEFINITELY DON'T retweet this message. PLEASE ❗️
When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped.
Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself.
A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.
Massive Russian attack on Kyiv: as of now, Russia has attacked a UNESCO heritate church, residential buildings and civilian infrastructure.
Russian cruise missiles are headed toward Kyiv, drones, ballistic missiles, Tsirkon missiles can follow at any moment.
Civilians suffer again in Kyiv:
▪️A large fire in Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
▪️In one district, five strikes hit civilian infrastructure objects within less than 30 minutes. A residential building, market and grocery store damaged.
▪️A residential building damaged in another Kyiv district.
▪️6 people injured by the attack.
▪️About 140,000 people without electricity.
Russians have struck the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra and are burning down one of Ukraine's oldest Orthodox churches‼️
The roof of the Dormition Cathedral is ablaze. The cathedral itself is a significant part of our history, it is older than Moscow. It was already there when russian neanderthals were building shacks made of sticks and shit.
Fucking barbarians!
@curbyourchichi As I was watching the trailer I was thinking "wow this looks really good". When it ended I made my husband watch it. I looked at him and said "That dog better not F-ing die or I'm going to be pissed. Thanks for the spoiler! 💖
You should ask yourself why all of the people who are screeching about election fraud on social media are always unwilling to repeat these claims under oath.
Let me help you: it’s because they know they’re full of shit. The entire purpose is to keep people angry.
Thomas Massie confirms that Section 224 of the NDAA will merge the United States military with the IDF.
What? Don't want to join? That's ok - They'll bring back the draft and conscript you.

I no longer understand the so-called civilized world.
Another massive russian missile and drone attack on Ukraine.
🛑 Kyiv: 4 killed, 50+ injured, including 3 children.
🛑 Dnipro: 6 killed, including a rescuer, 36 injured.
Where is the world's outrage?
Every morning after a massive Russian attack, I dread sitting down to put a post like the one below together. Russia brings so much pain and suffering to Ukrainians.
Russian combined attack on Ukraine killed 13 people and injured over 100 more. The most severe damage to civilian infrastructure occurred in Kyiv, Dnipro, and Kharkiv.
▪️ In Kyiv, 4 people were killed and over 60 more were injured. A three-year-old child was wounded by shrapnel.
Five medical facilities were damaged in Kyiv.
The ZEEKR car dealership burned down completely.
Other damaged sites include residential buildings, a utility company, an academy, outbuildings, a gas station, and a Ministry of Internal Affairs service center - all civilian infrastructure.
▪️ In Dnipro, 9 people were killed, a child among them. Multiple apartment buildings were destroyed.
Deputy chief of the fire and rescue unit, Major Anton Yarmolenko, was killed by the Russian attack. He was heading to an emergency call when the Russian strike occurred. Deepest condolences.
35 more residents of Dnipro were injured, and 6 more people are missing.
▪️ In Kharkiv, residential buildings and a food production facility were damaged, with more than 10 people injured.
Destruction of civilian infrastructure was recorded in Mykolaiv, Kharkiv, Poltava, Sumy, Chernihiv, and Zaporizhzhia regions. In Kyiv region, residential houses, a postal terminal, and vehicles caught fire.

I know it is his job, but the fact Zelenskyy has been working every single day for the past 1,555 days should be highly commended.
The man is fucking relentless, a daily inspiration.
Thank you @ZelenskyyUa 🫡
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
We have intel indicating that Russia is preparing a new massive attack. Please pay attention to air raid alerts and stay safe.
Air defense and the continued need to help Ukraine protect its skies are our key priorities. I am grateful to every partner, every leader, and every country that is ready to help and that implements our arrangements in full.
The PURL initiative must work. This concerns both the United States and Europe. We are pooling funds from our European partners and other friends to purchase missiles, including for Patriot systems. Sufficient supplies depend on America, and we hope that Ukraine will be heard.
❗️Oreshnik Missile Threat❗️
Our US/European allies have alerted us that, for the next 24 hours, we should seek immediate shelter when the sirens sound, as russia is planning to launch its entire missile arsenal at us in a last-ditch attempt to kill as many of us as possible.
Our intelligence services reported receiving data, including from American and European partners, about Russia preparing a strike with the Oreshnik missile. We are verifying this information.
We are seeing signs of preparation for a combined strike on Ukrainian territory, including Kyiv, involving various types of weaponry. The specified intermediate-range weapons could be used in such a strike. It is important to act responsibly on air-raid alerts, starting this evening. Russian madness truly knows no bounds, so please protect your lives – use shelters.
Second, we are drawing the attention of our partners in the United States and in Europe to the fact that the use of such weapons and the prolongation of this war also sets a global precedent for other potential aggressors. If Russia is allowed to destroy lives on such a scale, then no agreement will restrain other similar hatred-based regimes from aggression and strikes. We count on a response from the world – and on a response that is not post factum, but preventive. Pressure must be put on Moscow so that it does not expand the war.
Third, we are preparing our air defense as much as possible, and we will respond fully justly to every Russian strike. We have given permission for a parade, but Russia has no permission for madness. This war must be ended – we need peace, not some missiles satisfying the sick ambitions of one individual. I thank everyone helping to protect lives. Once again, please take care of yourselves and use shelters tonight.
