Kyiv.
We had one hour of electricity and were told we’ll get about 1.5-2 hours a day (yes, out of 24 hours).
The boiler heated water,
I washed my hair,
charged the EcoFlow (not fully).
That’s all.
These are the consequences of russian attacks.

AWFUL news tonight. This blesses the “mandatory” detention in the 5th Circuit without bond (and little chance at habeas) of every undocumented immigrant who originally entered across the border, no matter how many decades in the past.
It will fuel ICE’s push to transfer people to Texas immediately.

Good fucking morning to everyone except the MAGA Republicans who lied about “not seeing” Trump’s racist AI video yesterday. You’re useless, cowardly bootlickers—and every single one of you should be voted out this November.

Wait - you mean the government can actually hold these perverts accountable? Oh, sorry - I was confusing a country that still understands the meaning of the word shame and has actual rule of law with the repulsive cesspool our nation has become under the orange scrotum.

According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 — mostly through shady crypto deals.
That amounts to $456,621 per hour.
But how are you doing?

Look, if you had a party scheduled at your house, and the pipes broke and the floor was covered in raw sewage, you’d tell your friends not to come over.
In that spirit: world, skip the World Cup until we get this sewage worked out. And don’t be too sure about the Olympics.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.
The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

As long as Trump remains POTUS, nobody can take the US seriously.
Nobody can make any agreement with the US.
The US has become out of bounds.
In the long run, this madness will be vewry costly for the US.
Don't US republicans understand that?
Are they merely cowards?
