💔 “Dad, Dad!”: A child calls out to his father at Dnipro train station after a deadly Russian attack
The Russian attack has already left 14 dead and 14 injured in the city. Six of the injured are in serious condition, including an 11-year-old boy. A 40-year-old man had both legs amputated.
Cuba has voted against Ukraines favour since 2014. It voted against Ukraines territorial integrity, abstained on the removal of Ru forces. Ukraine owes it fuck all.

Irish communists whinging about Ukraines refusal to support Cuba forget:
1. Cuba abstained on all UN votes demanding Russia withdraw from Ukraine 2. Cuba has regularly victim blamed Ukraine for the invasion & 3. Thousands of Cuban citizens are fighting for Russia in Ukraine

Black people have virtually no power to institutionalize homophobia, white people do. This includes white queers, who have often weaponized their whiteness at the disservice of the broader queer community and other marginalized groups.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Being gay is punished by the death penalty in multiple black majority countries such as Somalia, Uganda, and South Sudan.
In the US Clarence Thomas, a black Supreme Court Judge, consistently votes down LGBTQ rights. Conversely, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson votes in favor.

We all know the history. The difference is the narratives relative to your country and it's history.
It should not be surprising that post-Soviet nations view the Soviets with the same lens we view the Nazis, and similar to how commies in the west adopt Soviet iconography, these nations view icons that signal anti-soviet as a kind of protest and fight against their "big-bad".. Much of that will be Nazi iconography, because the Nazis primarily fought the Soviets... To refuse this understanding is simply to remain ignorant so you can finger wag an imperfect victim of genocidal imperialism from the comfort of your own home.
It is not good, they shouldn't do it, but finger wagging them under current conditions is pathetically weak and absent minded.
Right wing is when you don't finger wag people fighting against genocidal imperialism for not being perfect victims.
You have a Palestine flag in your name lol.
No one wants the war to continue. 3/4 of Ukrainians want it to end, OBVIOUSLY. It's their lives ruined, but they similarly don't want to ceede their nation to a genocidal imperial power. You'd think a leftist would understand that, look past the unsavoury optics and focus on the material conditions instead.
Why is every Human rights scholar completely idiotic?
The DUP are British loyalists. Calling them Irish in this context is like calling an Israeli nationalist party Palestinian.
Secondly, it was a confidence and supply agreement, not a coalition. So no, we "literally" did not.
Leftists will unironically get mad at you for having a no-no patch while your schools, maternity wards, and homes are bombed.

Why is any European nation giving aid to Ethiopia? It is financing the Russian war machine. The UK sent £100m in 2024.
Ethiopia has taken delivery of 12 Russian-made Su-35 fighter jets and will later receive four S-400 air defence systems from Moscow as part of a drive to bolster its military capabilities, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said on Wednesday. reuters.com/world/africa/eth…

A horrific Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. A “shahed” struck people directly – in a park near an ordinary café. Pure atrocity. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old, born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna. She died in the hospital… Another girl who was killed was 11 years old. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 14 people were injured, including six more children.
I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine under these circumstances and helps us shoot down “shaheds,” shoot down missiles, and stop Russian assaults. These are horrific photos, but behind them are shattered lives and the truth about this war. Lives must be protected. Ukraine needs air defense. You can't think about making money with Russia as long as it continues its asinine war. We ask that sanctions on Russia stay in place as long as the killings continue. We ask America to be strong, and we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask that everything possible be done to bring peace and guarantee security. Ukraine wants peace. It is Russia that has insisted on continuing the killing all this time. The world has enough strength to stop the war. That strength must finally be used – against the murderers.

I think it’s pretty telling that these folks measure their success based on how much damage they caused, not based on any actual political or policy change. They literally just want to see the world burn

Latest: Zelenskyy tells reporters over WhatsApp that restrictions on Ukraine's Starlink systems remain. Interceptor drones can't function, logistics and operations hobbled. The maximum speed is 161 kph; "exceeding this limit causes the Starlink connection to cut out completely, resulting in the loss of the drone."
He says Ukraine has done tests to determine whether SpaceX is truly facing technical issues, as has been told Kyiv by the US side, or if this is a "deliberate operation... to restrict us, cut us off, and prevent us from defending ourselves and protecting our people, both at the front and among the civilian population."
He says Ukraine "sent a couple of vehicles equipped with Starlink terminals into European Union territory."
"They moved at speeds exceeding 180kph, and the Starlink systems worked perfectly. We have the relevant logs and evidence to prove this."
He adds: "The conclusion is clear: the restrictions are in effect within Ukraine but do not apply within the European Union. In other words, this is a planned operation."
Wait... Really? Wow... I guess I love Zohran Mamdani now.

❗️Last night, the operation of Starlink terminals in Ukraine was restricted.
Connectivity began to drop when moving at speeds exceeding 160 km/h. As a result, a number of critical missions were disrupted.
SpaceX likely took these measures at the request of the Trump administration. Also last night, when Kyiv was attacked by ballistic missiles, Ukraine did not receive intelligence regarding their launch— a failure that could have led to higher casualties.
Ukraine did not attack Russian oil refineries, yet Trump has already begun imposing sanctions on my country. Meanwhile, sanctions against Russia have been eased.
