NEW: @terrelljstarr.bsky.social and I discuss why Mamdani is not Obama and that's a good thing, why white people must talk to white friends about fascism, and why progressives can't achieve democratic socialism like in Denmark without a strong foreign policy gaslitnation.libsyn.com/election-spe...

If Putin were Black, Trump would back Ukraine—not out of compassion, but to weaponize racism for political gain. He exploits white fear at home, so why not abroad? Ukrainians are “white,” but their oppressor isn’t. That’s why their suffering doesn’t move him.

My latest from Ukraine. #ukrainianview
Trump Would Back Ukraine If Putin Was Black
I write this newsletter from Kyiv during airstrikes and power outages because I want to give you on-the-ground context behind my Ukraine analysis.

Woke up in Kyiv to missiles and drones killing civilians. Trump keeps bullshiting us that he’s gonna end the war—but he won’t. A Ukrainian victory threatens his and Putin’s kleptocratic ambitions—and Trump’s. Their power depends on Ukraine’s defeat.

My latest dispatch from Kyiv. #ukrainianview

How do you all think Zelenskyy’s White House meeting with Trump went Friday. Did you watch the presser? What are your takeaways? I have several that I will publish in my Substack tomorrow (Sunday).

Let me know your thoughts.

I interviewed a Ukrainian soldier who shared what it was like to endure torture in Russian occupation.

Interestingly enough, he also taught his fellow POWs English. Listen to him share his experience here👇🏾

Very excited to join @christopheratwood.bsky.social and Volodymyr Yermolenko of PEN Ukraine to discuss what solidarity between Ukrainians and Black peoples can look like. If you’re in Kyiv, join us next Thursday at 19:00.

Very smart, very well said Terrell.
Really necessary, thank you!
MAGA exploits Iryna Zarutska’s murder—casting her as a “white woman” to erase Russian violence against Ukraine and stoke fear of Black men.

MAGA CEOs want murals to commodify her, not honor her. That’s desecration. True remembrance is solidarity.

Thank you @terrelljstarr.bsky.social for this excellent reporting on who Iryna Zarutska was. 👏🏻 Recall everyone about a week ago when the MAGAts were up in arms about the black man who had stabbed a white Ukrainian woman to death? This was that woman. May she rest in peace. Read to get more details.

Charlie Kirk wasn’t only a racist. He was one of the most anti-Ukraine, pro-Russian voices in MAGA. He propagandised xenophobia about the border to justify withdrawing military support for Ukraine.

Charlie Kirk wasn’t only a racist, he was a reliable pro-Putin talking head who repeatedly spread disinformation about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

In my latest Substack piece, I explain why his white nationalism was so useful for Russian propaganda. #ukrainianview

This is pretty much what I think of the entirety of the right-wing media cohort. They're all bullies and liars who contribute nothing of value whatsoever to any conversation. Some views are just wrong and don't deserve a platform.

I don’t have anything positive to say about #CharlieKirk.

I interviewed Maksym Butkevych, who spent 2 yrs in Russian captivity. Starved & beaten, he survived by teaching fellow POWs English. Some can now hold conversations. Even in hell, he created hope.

RACISM in Kyiv, on Khreschatyk Street. This woman called me a nigger repeatedly and told me to go back to Africa because this country is for Ukrainians—not niggers.

When I turned on the camera, she turned into a Karen.

Thing is, she’s not even Ukrainian. Prolly American. In fact, almost certain.

From pacifist to POW, Maksym Butkevych survived torture, starvation, and 2+ years in captivity. Now he fights for veterans and refugees. Watch his incredible story on YouTube: Terrell J Starr Official. #UkrainianView
