As accurate a description of Donald Trump as you will ever see

if we're being real, it also sounds explicitly colonial. i fully support allowing ukraine to aggressively take the war to russia; that's absolutely necessary. but it's beyond absurd that the us — not ukraine — determines when and how that should happen.

The fascinating thing about this lie is that American outrage happened two weeks after the murder. Because video was published on Sep 5th. Murder happened on Aug 22nd. There were articles, it was “another refugee murdered abroad”, not much to add there.

I do really feel for all my Venezuelan mutuals who even on a day like this can not even be happy for five minutes without having to explain to the whole world why they rejoice when Maduro is gone.

A vast majority of Iranians have not had internet or cell access in 84 hours.

"If the 5-digit estimates are even approximately correct, this would constitute one of the largest single episodes of government violence against civilians in the 21st century—and one of the largest in the late 20th and early 21st centuries combined." quillette.com/2026/01/23/ira…

"The Games need to be separated from...all types of interference so that all athletes can concentrate on performance" Yeah, that's not how the real world works Maybe after the Ukrainians are separated from all types of "interference" so they can concentrate on living their lives

Це ціна нашої гідності. This is price of our dignity.

Imagine if someone wanted to honour people who died in a natural disaster or during a pandemic. Would IOC MEDIA ban it? I highly doubt it. But when Russia kills those people, now you can’t remember them without becoming too “political” and getting a ban

And indeed the IOC showed this today.

Probably should say this in English: the IOC saw “politics” in photos of murdered Ukrainian athletes. I was about to write a furious thread, but an air‑raid alert for Russian medium range ballistic missiles forced me to pause👇

One of the quiet victories aggressors seek is normalcy - the world moving on, names fading, and losses becoming background noise. A courage that refused to let the dead be erased for the comfort of the living took its toll. And in losing his place, he kept theirs.
