Anastasiya and I came at this with one goal in mind; can we help these who have risked it all, for three long years, to serve their community?

Please donate if you can, boost, and try to help us help these people who do so much.

YouTube video by Devin San Luis Surviving Russian Imprisonment

Torture and imprisonment is never an easy subject to speak on for those who directly suffer through it.

Today, myself and @ukrainianana.bsky.social sit down with a man from to hear his testimony. It’s one of the most in-depth accounts of civilian imprisonment l've seen.

YouTube video by Devin San Luis The Horrors of Izyum (Izium)

Filmed in April and April of 2023, I talk about the eastern Ukrainian city of Izyum(Izium). A Russian speaking town - Izyum was not "Liberated" by the Russians or brought back into some grand "Russian world" it was terrorized, brutalized, and betrayed from within.

Most of all I am thankful to all that will come next year. It is shaping up to be a year full of meaning.

I am thankful for much. My family and friends in the U.S. who have supported my work, complete strangers online who follow me, engage, and support me, and those in Ukraine who fight against a cruel world. Some of those Ukrainians I am even lucky enough to call my friends.

Hope people are having a good thanksgiving! Remember that it is important to take those days off and to celebrate when possible. Remember those who do not have such a luxury, and that we all need to fight for them to have the same.

Here are some photos from a hike I did the other day.

Delivery half of the power banks 🙂🌻🇺🇦
Drone and another half will be delivered shortly to another battalion 🫡
Thank you for making this possible 🙇🏻‍♀️

I don’t know if you can hear the banging of the metal barriers of the Parliament. I don’t think I’ve seen such a tense suspense at any Georgian protest. I couldn’t get any closer, it’s too dense, and that might be why the main assault is delayed. #GeorgiaProtests

When Democrats lose, they gracefully concede.

When Republicans lose, they try to overturn the election.

Both sides are not the same.

Even if you're not moved by the argument that Twitter is a rightwing cesspool thanks to its redpilled owner, the fact that foreign enemies are expressing concern that they won't be able to use Twitter to manipulate Americans anymore should be enough to warrant the exodus.

Nah, you can’t prove any pogrom happened because of Azov lol. (Not even wide spread violence.) Also... you’re going to discount one of the most well respected polling agencies in the world because “western” 😂 got it. Just that proves You’re a deeply unserious person. ✌🏻 I’ve seen all I need.

any ideological cohesion that was there crumbles in conditions like that. And we see that because things are different NOW.

I’m sorry if you’re just finding out about this but things DO change. People who wanted to fight for their home joined the only people who were effective in fighting back, Azov. Not for anything ideological, but to fight off Russian funded troops (and Russians themselves.)

Why are you so insistent about talking about statements, reports, and figures that were relevant a decade ago? Is it because none of that fits today? No one denies the far right background that started Azov. We are talking about today though.

As for Azov, Jews have served in Azov for nearly a decade, there have not been any Jewish pogroms done by this unit, even when they were just a militia. Of course there will be antisemitism in every country. None is linked to a widespread group like Azov though.

My “pivot” was because you have nothing. PEW research shows that Ukraine is the least anti-Semitic country in central or Eastern Europe (Jewish leaders have agreed with this sentiment) Ukraine has a sitting Jewish president.

lol. Well you see, being a Nazi does kinda require hating Jews. That’s a distinct characteristic.
The fact that there basically hasn’t been any hatred or violence towards Jews in Azov or Ukraine disproves your claim.

I’m sorry you find facts to be “propaganda” and your weird narrative challenge.

In other words: You’re looking at sources that are almost a decade old and don’t fit the facts today. You haven’t acknowledge any of the reforms and deradicalization that HAS happened. (Those who critically study Azov have acknowledged this)

Why haven’t there ever been any Jewish pogroms by Azov?

This is… something 😂 a 25% tariff on Mexico AND CANADA! (Plus he wants another 10% on China) this is INSANE! Stock up on whatever you need. Genuinely.

The MAGAts that are going to cry because they are suddenly paying a lot more for damn near anything is going to be a small joy in the dark times.

As an American journalist who reports from Ukraine, I can say that’s not a horrible idea. The insanity of my country shouldn’t overshadow reporting from Ukraine as it sadly has.

The guys are so exhausted they don't even mind the impacts

We always had a theory that Twitter was subtly turning down engagement for external links.

To have it verified by the Dork himself though is something else. I’ll be active moving more focus over here to Bluesky and you should too.
