The Trump administration is a fascist administration, but the United States is not yet a fascist state.

Total state capture takes time. Every obstacle we can present as individuals, groups, communities, and institutions helps slow that process.

Everything we do to resist matters. It ALL matters.

Think of your home town. All the places you spent as a child, your parents’ house, your first workplace. Now imagine every day there’s a terrorist attack there and all these places are getting damaged. I don’t need to imagine, because I am Ukrainian and this is our reality

Pairing attacks on Ukraine’s energy grid with an information campaign to undermine public morale, the aim is clear: if Putin can’t win through military strength, it will aim to crush the resolve of Ukrainians to keep fighting.

Anastasia Masliy was 19 years old. Russia killed her last night in Kyiv, along with her mother. The women suffocated in their own bathroom, hiding from the fire started by a Russian drone 🕯

Retired intelligence analysts confirm what the political scientists are telling us — and what the world outside is telling us — the goal of these people is the end of law, the end of democracy, and the end of a recognizable republic.

Ukrainian life now: a toddler helps Dad put on his artificial leg.
A two-year-old Ukrainian boy helps his father put on a prosthetic leg.

Today, an estimated 1.6 million Ukrainian children remain in territories occupied by Russia. Cut off from Ukraine’s education system, they are exposed daily to Russian propaganda, militarization, and pressure to abandon their national identity.
Investigation: After occupying their land, Russia trains Ukrainian children for a lifetime of war
Editor's note: Some names including Oksana's have been changed for security reasons. Oksana was just 14 when Russia occupied her village, and only 16 when Russian forces began training and indoctrina...

Russia is a war machine he set in motion, but it has no brakes. Putin simply cannot stop the military economy and has no idea what to do with his army of thugs who are practically uncontrollable in civilian life.

Putin can live and stay in power only as long as the war continues. That’s it.

Here is a Russian henchwoman admitting to stealing a Ukrainian child!
"I abducted a child from Mariupol and brought him into my family."

Russia's Presidential Commissioner for Children's Rights, Maria Lvova-Belova, has admitted guilt in a war crime - the abduction of Ukrainian children - for which the Hague court issued a warrant.
