The aftermath of the Russian missile attack on Kyiv. This is a residential building.

There might still be people under the debris.

There are also reports that another residential building might have been damaged by a Russian drone.

A very difficult night in Kyiv.

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees with General Milley that Americans do not owe our allegiance to a King, Queen, or a wannabe dictator. We owe our allegiance to the Constitution.

Fuck the nonsense trump says about being a king.
