🇺🇸 National Guard soldier speaks out: “I swore an oath to defend our constitution… seeking refuge is not an act of violence. Locking people up for it is.”

Russia‘s FM Lavrov is using an USSR shirt.

They would never show this kind of disrespect to China, making clear that they don’t fear Trump.

@livmcmahon.bsky.social Just read your recent article about VW. Interesting, thanks for pointing out what they’re doing. But EVs Don’t have engines, they have motors only.

Throwing a sandwich at a cop: felony.

Beating a cop unconscious with a flag pole: tourist behavior.

Imagine if they’d had sandwiches. 🥪

Just wait until Trump starts wiping the dust off those federal probes Musk dodged buying the election.

🧵 Russia: At the Yoroslavskiy train station in Moscow, Chechen Kadyrovite mafia kidnapped a person in broad daylight as he screamed for help, threw him in the trunk of their Mercedes SUV, and drove off.
Bystanders and police just watched on and dared not interfere.

Georgian journalist Gela Mtivlishvili says he suffered a heart attack from all the stress. When he tried to pay the hospital bill, he discovered his assets were frozen by the state.

Georgia is running out of time. Independent media is getting strangled.

Ukraine-Russia Negotiations Framework I. Key Principles of the Agreement and the Negotiation Process • Full and unconditional ceasefire in the sky, on land and at sea as a necessary background and prerequisite for peace negotiations. • Confidence-building measures – addressing humanitarian issues: unconditionally return all deported and illegally displaced Ukrainian children. Exchange of all prisoners (the “all for all” principle). Release by Russia of all civilian hostages. • Non-repetition of aggression: The aim of the negotiations is to restore a permanent basis for lasting peace and security and to ensure that aggression does not occur again. • Security guarantees and engagement of the international community: Ukraine must receive robust security guarantees. The parties will invite the international community to participate in the negotiations and provide guarantees to ensure the implementation of the agreements. • Sovereignty: Ukraine is not forced to be neutral. It can choose to be part of the Euro-Atlantic community and move towards EU membership. Ukraine’s membership in NATO depends on consensus within the Alliance. No restrictions may be imposed on the number, deployment, or other parameters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as on the deployment of troops of friendly foreign states on the territory of Ukraine. • Territorial issues: Territorial gains made by Russia since February 2014 are not recognized by the international community. The contact line is the starting point for negotiations. Territory issues are discussed only after a full and unconditional ceasefire. • Sanctions: Some sanctions may be lifted from Russia, but in stages and only gradually, with a mechanism for resuming sanctions if necessary (snapback). Frozen Russian sovereign assets are used for reconstruction or remain frozen until reparations are paid. • Implementation: Agree on a clear, balanced and achievable roadmap for implementation and enforcement of the agreements.

II. Next step – agreeing ceasefire and agenda of the leaders’ meeting • After the meeting in Istanbul, the parties continue the talks which shall focus on: (1) full and unconditional ceasefire: its modalities and monitoring; (2) confidence building measures; (3) preparation, agreeing agenda and structure of future leaders’ negotiations on key topics. • Negotiations to be held with the U.S. and Europe participating. III. Ceasefire • Full and unconditional ceasefire in the sky, on land and at sea at least for 30 days (with the possibility of rolling extensions every 30 days) as a necessary background and prerequisite for peace negotiations. • Ceasefire monitoring, led by the US and supported by third countries. IV. Confidence-building measures • After successful exchange of PoWs after Istanbul talks, the parties continue the exchange process for all prisoners of war (“all for all” principle). • Agreement on unconditional return by the Russian Federation of all deported and displaced Ukrainian children, and release by Russia of all civilian prisoners. These measures should include all categories of persons listed, starting from February 2014.

V. Leaders' meeting • The leaders of Ukraine and Russia meet to agree on key aspects of final peace settlement. • Key topics of peace agreement to be agreed by the leaders: 1) Permanent and complete cessation of hostilities: conditions, monitoring, sanctions for violations 2) Security guarantees and non-repetition of aggression 3) Territorial issues 4) Economy, compensation, reconstruction 5) Penalties for breach of agreements 6) Conclusion of a final peace agreement

9/ Ivanishvili and his regime are beyond any formal rules.

Western friends, want to know why?

They’re doing it because they can.

Simple as that.

Good thing for Putin he has such a good friend in WH to run cover for him while he continues to bomb civilians.

Day 177. As usual, people recite names of all regime prisoners and cry out "Freedom!" after each name.

"Freedom!"

"Freedom, Solidarity, Victory!"

"Down with the regime!"

"Until the end!"

May 21 is the Circassian Genocide Remembrance Day.

Proud that Georgia was the first country to call it what it was, and I’m glad that Ukraine has followed recently.

It’s one of the worst fates any nation has ever had. I am so very sorry…

🇷🇺 Putin claims the goal of the so-called "SVO" is to fix the "crisis," ensure long-term peace, and protect Russian-speaking Ukrainians—a narrative that has evolved over 3 years.

Reality check: this war is driven by imperial ambitions, not humanitarian concerns.

84-year-old Lyudmila Vasilyeva from Russian St Petersburg went on a solitary protest in her city. She held a poster saying, "People, let's stop the war! We are responsible for peace on planet Earth." For that, she was summoned to the police station

"Glory to Independent Georgia! Down with the rotten Russian Empire!"

Day 166 of daily protest in Georgia. 🇬🇪🇪🇺

What a massive crowd on Day 138 of daily protests in Georgia.

On this day in 1978, students and professors defended the Georgian language from Soviet attempts to strip it of official status.

Today, we continue the fight for our freedom and identity. #GeorgiaProtests

Here’s the clip.

Central Sumy is in flames. Cars burning. Bodies on the streets. A Russian missile hit a trolleybus — on Palm Sunday. Let that sink in.

This isn’t war. It’s deliberate, cold-blooded terror.

Current situation of the latest Russian atrocity in Sumy:

31 people died, including 2 children.
84 people were injured, including 10 children.
