Retired instructor of German, with a few private students keeping me doing what I love. We can talk about world events as a learning tool and vent our frustration at the same time. Virulently anti t, m, v, or anyone advocating fascism.

After each explosion, rescuers are first to enter the chaos. They search for those who can still be saved amid the smoke, and they do so despite fatigue, pain, and danger. Thank you to our rescuers. You preserve life where others try to destroy it ❤️

🤬 Russians mined the bodies of executed Ukrainian prisoners of war in the Kursk region, which made it impossible to evacuate them.
This became known during the trial of a Russian soldier accused of shooting two Ukrainian prisoners of war in January of this year.

Local media have published a heartbreaking video from Ternopil showing a father rocking the coffin of his child
He is the only survivor from his apartment: he waited three days hoping rescuers would save his wife and two children.

Do me a favor and forward this post.This needs to get out to everyone. We need to be unified.
Congress, pay attention. We the People decide where our money goes — not the President. And we are demanding full support for Ukraine, with everything they need to win. Trump does not hold the power of the purse. The American people do. Act accordingly.

Dear Ukraine,
I apologize. I’m sorry my country elected someone who works for Putin. Someone who’s on Putin’s side. As long as he is President, America won’t stand with you. Just know tho, that most Americans DO stand with you.

Under occupation, people hid Ukrainian flags like heirlooms — kept safe because they believed Ukraine would return. And it did.
When Ukrainian defenders entered the city, doors opened and colors poured onto the streets: flags that had been waiting for this day.👇

These raids are becoming increasingly more violent and it’s becoming more likely that deaths will occur.
Report ALL #ICE kidnappings & abductions to police as acts of terrorism.
They may NOT be #ICE at all.
They may be bombers wearing suicide vests.
