In the early 1930s, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin intentionally starved millions of Ukrainians to death. Today is #Holomodor Remembrance Day.
This thread is a good brief review of the horrors visited on Ukraine by the Russki mir.

Today is the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Holodomor-Genocide in Ukraine 1932-1933 🌾🕯️
It was committed by the leadership of the Soviet Union with the aim of destroying 🇺🇦, finally eliminating 🇺🇦 resistance to the totalitarian regime and attempts to build a 🇺🇦 State independent of Moscow.

The last time I wrote a thread about a book was on Twitter, and it was about a thrift-store find, Kremlin Capitalism.
But for Blue Sky, I’d like to begin with a gentler topic, which is a gem found at an estate sale today.
May I present
The Washington Cookbook from 1982.

1/ Even as Vladimir Putin appears to be envisaging the war in Ukraine continuing indefinitely, Russian soldiers have had enough. An online poll suggests that many of the soldiers on the front line do not want to fight on to a decisive Russian victory. ⬇️

In case anyone is looking for a cool place to take a summer vacation may I recommend the San Francisco Bay Area. We are experiencing coolest temperature since 1997. Today was a low record. Bring a jacket! Maybe a sweater, too!

You know what’s radical?
Masked “agents” grabbing people off the street and disappearing them without due process.

One might as justifiably accuse the Suffragettes for becoming "radicalized" in their fight to get women the vote, or the civil rights movement for fighting Jim Crow.
If asking for equal rights is "radical", then bring it on.

Sylvia Rivera would like a word:
"I will not put up with this shit. I have been beaten. I have had my nose broken. I have been thrown in jail. I have lost my job. I have lost my apartment for gay liberation and you all treat me this way? What the fuck's wrong with you all? Think about that!"
