Right now seems like a good time to remind everyone that Donald Trump’s first impeachment was for withholding military aid from Ukraine until he could extort its president for dirt on Joe Biden to sabotage our election.
Rep. Jeffries: There are more than 300 bipartisan votes in the House to pass the #National#Security bill today. It’s not too much to ask that we get a #vote and actually let the House work its will as opposed to allowing Trump to work his will and block our National Security priorities.
There used to be a city here. People are now debating whether an invader does or does not hold all of the territory the city used to contain. It doesn't matter, for there is no city here any more. What matters is that the invader is evicted and made to bear responsibility for what they have done. #SlavaUkraini#Bakhmut
#Ukraine's brave Warriors have not asked any other Country to send their soldiers to fight, all they ask is we supply weapons and munitions. It is not asking a lot from the world. #SlavaUkraïni 🇺🇦
"I don't want you to have my portrait in your offices, because the president is not an icon or idol. Have there a picture of your children, and look into their eyes before making every decision."
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Ukraine's Parliament, 2022.
As an American, one of the things that gives me a feeling of kinship with the Ukrainian people is their courage in refusing to accept a future determined for them by Putin, and their resolve in fighting for their freedom despite the odds. That includes fighting to make a free country for all Ukrainians, including marginalized ones from their LGBTQ communities.
It saddens me that @timkmak lost subscribers because he highlighted the stories of Ukraine's LGBTQ community in his reporting. I've subscribed and encourage others to do so, too.
How many thousands of #Ukrainians have to be beheaded, burned alive, tortured to death, KILLED - so every single Western leader would understand - today Russia is an utterly evil terrorist state!
Stopping endless russian horror.
#Ukraine needs F16 and all modern weapons! TODAY. We need your help. Call 202-224-3121
Tell your Rep to sign #HRes1016. 🫡
I certainly have had enough of some people claiming that we must cower to Putin, because he has nuclear weapons. And I am glad to see, I am not alone.
In a debate show on Danish national tv, foreign editor of Danish newspaper Weekendavisen, Anna Libak replied to yet another “But Putin’s has nuclear weapons!” by saying, “If Hitler had nuclear weapons, would we have given him France?”
Bingo! Of course we would not. And neither should Putin have Ukraine.
We in the West must continue to apply pressure, military and economic, to hasten Russia's self-created decrepitude. Russia cannot win. It opens the pandora's box around the world, emboldening autocrats, and the world will descend into madness.
"Ukrainian of Jewish faith and ancestry with a moving Christmas message. Standing before the great cathedral of the Kievan Rus, a state that flourished to grandeur unknown in the European world while Moscow remained an empty forest, where the darkness waited to rise."
President #Zelenskyy:
The nights before Christmas are the longest of the year. However, the day has already begun to lengthen and the light has begun to prevail. The light grows stronger. Day by day and step by step, the darkness retreats. Darkness will eventually lose. Evil will be defeated. Today, this is our common goal, our common wish, and what we pray for. For our #freedom. For our #victory. For our #Ukraine.
It's been an intense weekend, but fifteen cars were successfully delivered to #Ukraine. Most to the army. Four to the L'viv waterworks. A couple directly to special forces. Hanging out in #Kyiv for a couple of days before heading home. Fuck you, Putin! :trizub:
A very good friend is a #Ukrainian defender. He has been fighting for 2 years +, and at 23 years young, he is a grandfather of this war.
Today, it is 2 years since the full-scale invasion of #Ukraine. It is a nation of broken hearts but strong spirit. #Ukrainians have been and are fighting for survival against barbarian russians.
Please send your message of support, and I will get it to the guys. What do you want them to know?
It pisses me off to no end that the GOP held House won't bring a Ukraine aid package to a vote. It's fucking infuriating.
The Ukrainian people deserve so much more than this. They are brave as fuck, and the spineless GOP is gonna be the cause of their demise because they lick the balls of Vladimir. It's disgusting.
Eighty years ago, millions of Ukrainians fought for Nazism to lose forever. But today, Ukrainians are again opposing the evil that has been reborn, has come again, and wants to destroy us again. An army of monsters who kill, torture, and wipe out peaceful cities and villages from the face of the earth. Evil, the name of which is Russian fascism. Abbreviated as the Russian Federation.
On the Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism, remembering millions of Ukrainians who, together with other peoples, fought and won, we believe and bring a new day of a new victory closer, when the expulsion of the Nazis from Ukraine.
It's impossible to deny that Russia has its own versions of Nazi ideology. The way to stop Nazism remains the same. Only joint efforts can be effective.
Russia puts every country that doesn’t submit to its terror on its "list."
As long as Russia exists in its current form, no country is safe unless it is a pawn or accomplice of a terrorist state. Part 1.
