…What are these Ukrainian children thinking as they watch a five-story residential building now standing without its top floor? Perhaps this morning they even witnessed russian missiles and attack drones streaking past; their own home survived, but the one next door did not.

There is a thin line between the fragile sense of the holidays for Ukrainians during Christmas and the manifestation of russian hatred on my country’s soil. Yesterday, a nine-story building; today, a five-story residential house, both struck by attack drones in the same city, Chernihiv.

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas.

Every Shakespearean tyrant who showed weakness and corruption eventually lashed out, usually in Act 3, with a “last chance power drive” (in Springsteenean terms) to gain or regain control and absolute power.

"The Ukrainian city of Sloviansk, 30 km from zones of active hostilities."

I just want the world to see that here in Ukraine, despite the long war, people still feel the taste of life. None of us are giving up (in every sense of the word).

For 20 minutes, Americans watched Donald Trump address the nation, “drenched in pure panic as he tried to bully an entire nation into admitting he’s doing a great job,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:
This Is What Presidential Panic Looks Like
Donald Trump delivered a fear-drenched rant live from the White House.

Trump is clearly demented but saying so gives him a pass bc he is far, far more vile and evil than insane.

Don't miss this from @nellscovell.bsky.social about Rob Reiner. One of the best reminiscences I've read & one that makes it clear what a uniquely important gift to comedy he was. (I also knew him a little re: politics & there too, he was a gift and a mensch.) www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/how...

He may be a doofus but Marco Rubio, a sitting Secy of State, openly admitting that something is flying around our nuclear facilities and we have no idea what they are is pretty earthshaking.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.

That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.

Wow.
