If the @MBTA , @MBTA_CR is experiencing a series of #signal #issues first thing on Monday morning, wouldn’t shuttles make sense to #transport hundreds of people trying to get to work? This is about our #metropolitan #economy. Meetings missed. Reduced productivity.

Today at #UNSC in New York my message was clear: “We have bad news for Russia. Ukraine will not surrender. Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity are non-negotiable; justice is non-negotiable; children are non-negotiable” #StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

Today, I spoke at an event in Stockholm about our colleague, Ukrainian journalist Viktoriya Roshchina. I had to turn off the camera right after my speech because it was difficult to contain my emotions.

Today, 13 world media outlets published investigations about the capture and death of Viktoriya Roshchina. I will leave links in different languages ​​in the comments. And I will say a few words from myself.

Viktoriya was young, talented, dedicated to the journalistic profession, and incredibly brave. I met her 11 years ago when she joined our campaign to release illegally detained people in Crimea and eastern occupied territories.

In the first year of the full-scale invasion, she went to the occupied territories herself to write about illegaly detained people and disappeared. We already know that she was abducted, tortured, secretly transported to Russia, and detained there without any legal basis. We know that she did not receive medical care and weighed about 30 kg. But we still do not know how she died. 

Russians refused to return her body for a long time. When they returned the body, it had a visible trace of torture and was missing several internal organs – eyeballs, brain, and part of the trachea.

Russians are even now hardly trying to hide what they did to her. That's why the investigation conducted by 50 journalists from 6 different countries around the world is so important.

Victoria believed in truth and justice so strongly that she knowingly risked her life to tell us what was happening in the occupied territories. We will continue her struggle.

"Putin is the new Hitler" - Russian historian and dissident Alexander Skobov said his final words in the trial today, and I can't agree more.

Full speech:

"I was raised in the Soviet Union with the conviction that when a malicious and cruel aggressor attacks peaceful people, one must take up arms and fight. And if you cannot hold a weapon yourself, you must help those who fight and encourage others to do so.

All my publicistic activity is a call to fight the aggressor who attacked Ukraine, to support Ukraine with weapons and ammunition. I consider myself a participant in the armed resistance against the aggressor. In the missiles and shells that destroy the invaders, there is a small contribution from me. And I take responsibility for every eliminated occupier.

No one attacked Russia, no one threatened it.
It is Putin’s Nazi regime that attacked Ukraine, driven solely by the delusions of grandeur of its leaders and their inhuman lust for power over everyone around them.

They assert themselves by killing hundreds of thousands of people. They are degenerates, scum, Nazi filth.

The guilt of Putin's Nazi dictatorship in preparing, unleashing, and waging an aggressive war is obvious and needs no proof. Likewise, our right to armed resistance against the aggressor on the battlefield and in the aggressor's rear needs no justification. Indeed, it would be laughable to expect such acknowledgment from a regime that imprisons people merely for verbally condemning its aggression. All possibilities for legal protest against Putin's aggression have been eradicated.

My calls for armed resistance against the aggressor’s regime are classified under terrorism charges. I will not argue with the aggressor's authorities, even if they decide to classify my actions under charges of pedophilia. The court in Russia has long proven itself to be an appendage of Nazi tyranny, and seeking justice there is meaningless. I will never bow before these people – accomplices of murderers and scoundrels. I have nothing to discuss with them. Let the cannons speak for me.

I see no point in arguing with the dictatorship’s puppets about how faithfully they apply their laws. These are, in any case, the laws of a totalitarian state aimed at suppressing dissent. I do not recognize these laws and will not obey them.

I also will not appeal against any decisions or actions of the representatives of the Nazi regime. I do not seek mercy from my armed enemy.

The Putin dictatorship may kill me, but it cannot force me to abandon my fight against it. Wherever I may be, I will continue to call on honest Russians to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine. I will continue to advocate for strikes on military targets deep within Russian territory. I will call on the civilized world to inflict a strategic defeat on Nazi Russia. I will argue for the necessity of the military destruction of the regime of the new Hitler.

Putin is the new Hitler, intoxicated by impunity, a ghoul drunk on blood. And I will not tire of repeating: “Crush the serpent!”

Death to Putin, the murderer, tyrant, and scoundrel!
Death to the Russian-fascist invaders!
Glory to Ukraine!"

[Archive: Lloyd J. Austin III @SecDefAustin]

In my final hours at Ramstein as Secretary of Defense, I mourn for every Ukrainian person killed in Putin’s murderous war. I salute the Ukrainian troops who are fighting so bravely for their country and their freedom.

Вместо да представят силната и трогателна реч на президента Зеленски от снощи, БТВ решили да ни информират какво казал някакъв блатен плъх! Всичко това без никакво касателство с нашата уж европейска страна!

@gaineydiva @MBTA_CR The alerts started after continuous delays

[Theodora Batchvarova @theodorakb]

@MBTA_CR Thanks for the update, @MBTA_CR ! It just came through on Twitter. Most people use the @MBTA_CR app. A long line of people are waiting for the 7:35 train in Swampscott without any idea how to get to work. How do we get to the buses, where are they?
