Russia is bombing us.

I love MN

Terrell Jermaine Starr (@terrellstarr) Russia is killing Africans on the continent of Africa at alarming rates and no one is talking about it. My latest broadcast features Nigerian journalist @Philip Obaji Jr., who has risked his life inve...

My latest video features Nigerian journalist @philipobaji.bsky.social, who risks his life investigating Russia’s atrocities across Africa, which include systematic sexual assaults against girls and murders of villagers who refused to allow Moscow to exploit its national resources. #urkainianview

Machine washing clothes in Ukraine is a luxury! #ukrainianview

It’s so cold in my flat here in Kyiv that I need to wear a scull cap and a sweater to bed.

I have double layers of underwear and socks, too. I see my breathe when I talk. That’s how cold it is in my flat. This is all because of Russian attacks on the power grid. #ukrainianview

Trump Has Smoke For Venezuela But None For Putin? There is a connection between the two

If Trump is all about taking down dictators for being a threat to US interests, why doesn’t he kidnap Putin as well? I explain here👇🏾

The more I engage many of you, the more you reveal that you only care about the law or human rights if it benefits you. Fuck everyone else.

We live in a very selfish and cruel world.

I know many Venezuelans are happy that Maduro is gone. (So am I). That said, do I agree with my country kidnapping him, bypassing US congressional approval and any regard to international law or human rights? No.

I explain why 👇🏾

Does Trump’s military actions in Venezuela undermine support for Ukraine from those (especially in the Global South and other places) who feel any U.S. involvement is a colonial conquest? Let me know your thoughts!

I spoke with a Ukrainian family on New Year’s Day here in Kyiv. I wish I had asked them some questions about the war. But I think this simple interaction was just fine 😊

The power went out at the bar here in Ukraine and everyone kept going about their evening as if nothing happened.

Darkness is the new normal in wartime Ukraine.

Thanks to the folks at the Fat Lion pub for keeping us in the light, nonetheless!
