Ukraine’s head of the presidential office @Kyrylo_Budanov addresses the @McCainInstitute Sedona Forum and says Ukraine doesn’t believe Putin really wants a ceasefire:

“We completely understand the real purpose of Putin's call to President Trump on April 29 - they want the May 9 parade in Moscow to proceedpeacefully for a few hours and then they will resumethe attacks.”

“We do not want any truce to become a tactical deception by the Russian Federation. At the same time, we always respond positively to proposals for a real truce with the Russian Federation, if there are any.”

They're scared of AOC because these billionaires don't want regular Americans who put themselves through college to become politicians. AOC doesn't accept corporate PAC money, or AIPAC money.

❗️12-year-old Anatoliy from Chernihiv region was out for a walk when he spotted a Russian FPV drone flying directly toward the spot where his younger brothers and sisters were playing. The boy, who had been taught by the military how to neutralize drones, quickly cut the fiber-optic cable in time. The drone lost control, climbed upward, and crashed 100–150 meters away into the bushes without exploding.

“I’m already almost not afraid of anything,” Anatoliy said.

"Russians told us: if you try to escape, we’ll shoot you in the knees": Ukrainian teenagers abducted by Russia spoke in the Senate of Spain

Spanish Senate President Pedro Rollán Ojeda expressed support for Ukraine and stressed the need to return more than 20,000 children deported by Russia.

The officially confirmed number of Ukrainian children deported and forcibly displaced by Russia stands at no fewer than 19,546. However, the real figure may be significantly higher.

Particular attention at the hearing was given to testimony from Ukrainian teenagers who survived deportation and occupation. Their stories became a key argument against Russia’s narrative of "evacuation" and "liberation."

Ivan Matkovskyi from Mariupol described witnessing one of the most cynical crimes committed by Russian forces - the destruction of the Mariupol Drama Theatre, where civilians had been sheltering:

▪️ "Every time I talk about it, I see all those people I saw back then. There were people of all ages - kids, animals, elderly people who couldn’t even walk; they could only sit or lie down. There were thousands of civilians.

But despite the fact that only civilians were there, on March 16 a Russian aircraft dropped an aerial bomb on the theater, destroying it. After that, my older brother and I decided to leave Mariupol on foot for territory controlled by Ukraine."

▪️ "I saw Mariupol being destroyed... I lost 10 kilograms - we just wanted to eat and drink."

Another episode - "filtration" at a checkpoint:

▪️ "Russians forced me to undress. They examined my body to see if I had any tattoos with Ukrainian symbols - anything they could use to detain me."

After that, Ivan was separated from his family. Russian military threatened him and his brother with weapons in case of disobedience:

▪️ "We were told to wait for officials from the children’s services in occupied Donetsk to come for us. We tried to escape, but they began threatening us with weapons. They said that if we ran, they would shoot us in the knees."

In Donetsk, according to Ivan, Ukrainian children were promised a new life in Russia:

▪️ "They told me I would have a new family and a Russian passport."

Moreover, the children were forbidden from contacting their relatives and were effectively being prepared for transfer to Russian families or camps. No one cared that they already had families and biological parents.

Russia seeks to portray the deportation of children as a humanitarian measure. But testimonies like these dismantle that narrative, showing that this is a systematic policy of deportation, assimilation, and stripping children of their identity - one that is already being classified as an international crime.

Took a video of this cool shell formation on my beach walk.

If all of you repost it as many times as you can maybe some journalists will see it and do something about it

Very Important Message!!

Do NOT, and I repeat do not buy plants treated with Neonicotinoids. Bees take the pollen back to the hive and feed it to the brood.

This is a number one cause of the colony collapse. It's important to NOT buy these plants!

Make sure to share this post!

Evangeline Lilly called out Disney after they laid off almost all of Marvel's visual development team.

“SHAME ON YOU for turning your back on the people who built the power you are now using to throw them away. Why [does AI] get to steal our brilliance and use it to make executives rich while the artists responsible for feeding their robots go hungry? Disgusting."

Ken Paxton gave a plea deal to lawyer Adam Hoffman, his friend, for raping a boy (his son’s friend) over three years starting in third grade.
Instead of a felony and sex offender registration, Hoffman gets only 30 days in prison and no registration.🤬

A stork appeared during the farewell of a Ukrainian defender.

We hear this a lot in Ukraine - people say storks often show up at funerals, especially for fallen soldiers.

I’m not someone who believes in signs, but it’s hard to ignore how symbolic it feels. A bird that represents life showing up at a goodbye.

Banksy has unveiled a new sculpture of a man stepping off a stone base with his face obscured by a flag.

The overnight installation in Waterloo Place, London, was revealed in a video shared by the artist, and has drawn fans of his politically charged works.

This week is the 40th anniversary of Chornobyl & the media is ignoring the real story: it WILL happen again and this time it will be worse.

The same Soviet system of lies & cover-ups that caused the meltdown is now running the Zaporizhzhia plant. We’re sleepwalking into disaster
