Doctors are helping this former Ukrainian POW get the "glory to russia" inscription he received in captivity off his skin, now that he is back in Ukraine. Horrifying story

All of my news feed today is videos of bodies being removed from under rubble, photos of grieving people, more rubble, smoke, destruction, and also reports of Trump refusing to sanction Russia, followed by more bodies, more smoke, more rubble. I can’t physically stop crying.

More evidence that the US constrains Ukraine and protects Ru in this war. Literally, the exact opposite of the favorite claim of the «anti-imperialists » that the US is forcing Ukraine to fight to hurt Ru.

Another read to share with anyone who says, "Why don't I know any Ukrainian authors?" russian imperialism has always, always tried to destroy the literature of the peoples it oppresses.

“Russian warship, go f* yourself.” For the defenders of Snake Island, those defiant words were followed by a brutal time in Russian captivity. Former Ukrainian marine Vladyslav Zadorin spoke to Sashko Shevchenko about his 679 days as a POW: rferl.org/a/snake-island…

I can't believe it. Siarhei is here—with me and our children. What we’ve dreamed of for 5 years has finally happened. Tonight, I’m taking the evening off to talk with my husband, to let him see his children again, after so many years. Thank you all for the tremendous support!❤️

If your Christianity is first and foremost a way to figure out who you're allowed to be unkind to, you're probably doing Christianity wrong.

When you’re being invaded by your historical imperialist oppressor, the alternative to war isn’t peace. It’s torture, ethnic cleansing, wholesale slaughter and the erasure of your culture.

Delighted to say that at the upcoming RUTA Conference (The RUTA Association), I'll present my poetry project, "A Song of Sunrise and Blood: Cartographies of Terror, Endurance and Revival"! It covers my poems on Ukraine, mapping wartime terrors, grief, and resilience through verse.

I never thought such a basic fact of real life could be so inobvious to so many: when you surrender to an invader denying your very right to exist, you’re not getting “peace,” you’re getting a concentration camp, a torture chamber, and then an execution pit.

You will never, ever hear anyone who uses "Ukraine's treatment of russian speakers" (🙄) as a justification for the war talk about this. 👇
