For us, the reality is simple… we hold because we have no choice. We want peace more than anyone, but not the kind where we disappear. So when we hear about their refusal to even consider talks, it just confirms what we already live through daily.

We’ll keep doing our job.

Every morning at 9:00 Ukraine observes a minute of silence in memory of those who died in the war🪖🇺🇦

Glory to the heroes! 🇺🇦💙💛🌹✊

Zaporizhia region commemorates the victims of the Holodomor.

These are pages of our history, where millions of innocent Ukrainians were destroyed by the criminal Soviet government. Tragedies that today make us especially appreciate Ukrainian bread on the table, the right to freedom and our own land

In Zaporizhia, the victims were honored with a minute of silence. They laid wheat ears and lit lamps at the monument to the victims of the Holodomor, joining the all Ukrainian action Light a candle

Hunger was a weapon against Ukraine then. Missiles and terror are weapons today.

Today, at 4 p.m., wherever there are Ukrainians, candles of remembrance will burn near the windows. These millions of pieces of evidence of memory about the victims of one of the most terrible crimes in the history of mankind will say that Ukrainians have not forgotten the millions killed

by the Holodomor and will never forgive Moscow for this genocide.

We all know how and why millions of our people died, starved to death, millions were not born. And we are once again defending ourselves from Russia, which has not changed and is once again bringing death.

We honor the memory of the victims of the Holodomor millions of Ukrainians whose lives were taken by a deliberate act of genocide.

This was a cruel crime of a totalitarian regime against the Ukrainian nation.

And today, when war has again come to our homes, this memory sounds different.

363 square meters of love a family-type orphanage received housing in Zaporizhia.

After a forced stay abroad, the large Maleev family returned to Ukraine. A new house was purchased for their family type orphanage in Zaporizhia.

From a boy with big dreams… now a brave man who answered the call of duty, fearlessly on the frontlines for freedom 🩸 #glorytoUkrainideathtohisenemies 🇺🇦🇺🇦✊💙💛

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S. “Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:

'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..."

1980s girls. Not fat, not covered in tattoos, no phones.

What happened?

Exactly. You can’t claim to be a peacemaker abroad when you’re sowing chaos at home. Charity begins at home, Mr. Deal Maker.

Reminds me of Ralph
and one of his grandsons!

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS I'VE LEARNED IN LIFE, AND I CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH, YOU HAVE TO MAKE A SALAD IN A BIGGER BOWL THAN YOU THINK. @momsbehavingbadly

Two survivors.

Two souls who refused to give up.

A reminder that even in our darkest moments, hope has wings.

During months of grueling treatment, he drew strength from Freedom’s story. She had fought impossible odds and survived.

When Jeff finally beat cancer, the very next day he went to see her. On that cold, misty morning, Freedom spread her wings and gently wrapped them around him as if she understood

Freedom became an educational bird, often perched on Jeff’s arm, inspiring others with her quiet dignity. Over time, they formed a bond built on patience, trust, and shared resilience.

Then, in 2000, Jeff’s life took a dark turn he was diagnosed with stage three cancer.

He cared for her every day feeding her, sitting beside her, talking softly, and encouraging her to hold on. After weeks of struggle, Freedom finally stood on her own. She would never fly again, but she was alive a living symbol of strength.

Freedom and Jeff A Story of Courage, Healing, and Hope

In 1998, a bald eagle named Freedom was found weak, covered in lice, and with both wings broken one shattered beyond repair. Most believed she wouldn’t survive. But one man, Jeff Guidry, refused to give up on her.
