It's hard to believe that a few weeks ago, I was in Critical Care on a ventilator with my heart, kidneys & liver failing. Now, I've just managed a litter pick. I had to stop after one bag as I'm not strong enough yet, but at least I've done something to help keep the area tidier.

On Holodomor Remembrance Day, Ukrainians light a candle at 4 pm
and place it on the windowsill to honor the millions who died in the 1932-1933 famine.

Three girls are standing together - one after another from the shortest to the tallest. They put their hands on shoulders of the girl in front of them. They all wear school uniforms.

22 November 1928 | A French Jewish girl, Suzanne Plotek, was born in Paris (left in the picture with her sisters Esther & Chaja).

I’ll always support boycotts against things that harm the world or people’s rights, but the way some people obsess over one target while ignoring countless others is so hypocritical…

If you need a smile today this is it.

Stormzy wanted to show you something he’s been working on ❤️

22 November 1880 | A Dutch Jew, Edgar Alvares Correa, was born in Curaçao (constituent country of the Netherlands).

November 21, 2025 Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the Ukrainian people today.

open.substack.com/pub/heatherc... “Not only does this agreement sell out Ukraine and Europe for the benefit of Russia—which attacked Ukraine—it explicitly separates the U.S. from NATO, a long-time goal of Russia’s president Vladimir Putin.” This is a complete capitulation to Russia - it’s treachery

Greetings from Kyiv
and warcoffee.

Today, we honor the victims of the massive famine of 1932–1933.
Man-made, stalin-made, russia-made.
Millions of Ukrainians died.

Don’t ever ask us why we stand. You already know the answer.

Make a pause
and spend 40 seconds in Kyiv.

He is a deeply sick man, and has always been. But he is sicker than ever.

To the six Democratic lawmakers who made that beautiful video reminding our military members of their duty and obligation to NOT obey illegal orders, I say this:

Make MORE of them.

Meiselas: This guy's a con artist. He's a fraud. He's quite literally a criminal. A felon. He lies. He destroys people's lives. He's a rug puller. 'Look, $23 trillion! Dividend checks are right around the corner! I'm gonna make you so rich!'

It is demented and it is manipulative and it is abusive.

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : As I’ve said before, there was a day before Donald Trump’s presidency and there will be a day after. And in that day after, people will see so many of the decisions that individuals and organizations made…

21 November 1915 | Stanisław Ryniak was born in Sanok. He was the first Polish prisoner registered in #Auschwitz on 14 June 1940 (camp no. 31). In October 1944 he was transferred to Letmeritz, a subcamp of KL Flossenbürg.

He survived the war. He died on 13 February 2004.

More evidence that the Trump/Witkoff “peace plan” for Ukraine came straight from the Russians - it uses Russian syntax.

It would be nice to have a leader like him here in America.

Lil lyin Johnson…they really must have some heavy shit on him because I really can’t believe he can be that stupid. Really, the same with all of them.
Pretty sure they also know we didn’t just fall off the turnip truck yesterday either. So offensive the way they speak to us.

Just so we’re ALL clear: the President of the United States made death threats toward sitting Democratic members of Congress.

But they’re always claiming Democrats are the dangerous ones, right?

Trump follows up this post by calling for these Democratic lawmakers to be put to death

One-third of the Republicans in Congress: “I didn’t see it.”

Another third: “He was only joking.”

The last third: “I agree with him.”
