Ukrainian cities. once these streets were bustling, filled with joyful voices and sounds of car horns, people were preparing for the holidays, decorating their homes and Christmas trees, giving each other gifts and wishing for dreams to come true. gathering with entire families to celebrate.
today these cities look as if nothing ever existed here, only solid ruins and ghosts of a past life. russia destroyed everything. dismantled the memory of entire generations brick by brick with daily shelling. took away a happy future from many families.
š·libkos
Ukraine is not the first country to face brutal and indiscriminate tactics of waging war against civilians. In October 1999, Russian missiles hit a maternity hospital in Grozny. At least 30 people died in the attack that day, including women and newborn babies, the AR agency reported. Grozny was razed to the ground, similar to Mariupol. Almost two decades later, in 2016, Russian airstrikes on Aleppo in Syria destroyed virtually all of the cityās hospitals and medical facilities. The killing of doctors was a deliberate strategy, because by killing one doctor, you kill a hundred other people,ā notes Janine di Giovanni, executive director of The Reckoning Project, who worked as a reporter during Putinās wars in Chechnya and Syria.
Russian culture is genocide
Don't look away. This is our reality. Every day there are losses. Today's target - my Lviv.
Russians don't give love to their children, but they steal and re-educate Ukrainian children with such perverse fanaticism
That's horrifying to watch⦠I almost threw up when I was downloading that video.
My little brother and I were kidnapped by Russia along with 19,000 other children when Putin invaded Ukraine. We need American help to save
The most painful quotes:
-When the Russians took me, I was sent to a technical school where I was subjected to daily false stories about Ukrainians and sometimes even insults. One day, I was called to the principalās office and when I got there, she had citizenship documents ready for me to sign. I was stunned and disgusted. I had never been more afraid, but I refused to become a Russian citizen.
The principal glowered at me with hatred in her eyes. She berated me for being "stupid." Moments later, I was expelled and sent packing, in a country that I did not know, and that hated who I was.
-After Save Ukraine helped me return home, I needed to get my brother out too. I found him in a new foster family, but he was not the boy I knew. He had been subjected to months of Russian propaganda and manipulation. He was like a puppet, saying things that I knew he did not believe ā that Ukraine was run by Nazis, that nobody in Ukraine cared about him and that he had no future unless he became a Russian citizen.
-When I begged him to return home with me, he refused. Hour after hour ticked by as we argued. As I was about to lose hope, he came to his senses and agreed to come home with me. We were lucky. But there are 19,000 kidnapped Ukrainian children still in Russia. The Russian government bombards them with propaganda and abuse to weaken their Ukrainian identity. Many are punished for speaking Ukrainian.
I'm in tears: "... I feel very sad and have no desire to live". Russians' obsession is to break Ukrainians mentally, including children.
Ukraine has handed over to Qatar a list with the names of 561 Ukrainian children who were taken to Russia. This was reported by Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets. āŖļøWait for the return of a group of Ukrainian children home. We are not disclosing details at this time. āŖļø Talking about the return of orphans and children deprived of parental care. Qatar agreed to work on the issue of their return to Ukraine. Preliminarily, there may be more than 3,600 such children. āŖļøQatar agreed to participate in negotiations with Russia on the return of civilians illegally detained by Russia. Lubinets also once again refuted Russian propaganda: there were no direct negotiations between Ukraine and Russia. All negotiations are mediated by Qatar.
Only on 27 April 2023, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe recognized that the forced transfer of Ukrainian children to Russia meets the criteria of genocide.

The war and Trump getting elected twice because people who consider themselves very good progressive revolutionaries decided purity of their own ego matters more than fellow human beings has made me so much more vengeful.
I never wanted other people to suffer before, no matter how awful I thought them to be. I always made room for understanding and context and nuance and well, people's humanity and humans aren't perfect. Besides, even if I believe my way is the best way, who am I to know that I'm not as much a fool as those who feel the same but in opposition to me?
Well, that version of me is dead.
Now I watch with a morbid sort of glee as those self righteous fuckers who didn't vote at all because "no pure good choice" existed or "I don't support genocide! (Except in some places that aren't as popular or make me look good to my friends)" Will now watch as their inaction destroys their lives. What sucks is of course it will destroy others too. No glee there. Just a strong desire for those who made this happen to feel an ever present sense of self loathing and doubt. That is of course still giving them more credit than they deserve to have the capacity for self reflection and honesty with themselves they seem to lack.
Only those who have never had to fight with their lives for their privilege would so easily reject what many only dream of. You just had to fucking vote. That's all you had to do, vote to stop one of the worst human beings from holding the most powerful post in the world. It's not easy for everyone but for all the work that needs be done to make the world better, voting in a place where you can do so and have an impact, is absolutely the least fucking difficult thing to do. And some couldn't even do that and yet want everyone including themselves to believe they'd fight for anything?
Seeing everything trump is already doing and promising to do and how many people have already been hurt and will be hurt, most of them already on margins of survival, and smug assholes sitting back and patting themselves for not voting for the Democrats because that'll show 'em, raises a level of rage and resentment I didn't know I could feel.
I saw a post on Reddit asking if class war was coming soon.
And all I could think was, half of the people who can wage such a war don't understand who is responsible for their suffering and blame eachother, the other half can't be bothered to do anything remotely morally nuanced that is beyond their phone or computer screen screeds and a few hours of chanting outside a university.
So no, sweet summer child, class war isn't coming soon. Read the room.
Mariam Naiem: I didn't know how to describe it, so I drew it. I drew the casualty figures after missile strikes at the last moment before publication. Because even while drawing a comic about the war, you have to check if Russia has killed someone else in those few minutes you were drawing.
Could you maybe reblog this post if you think respecting trans peoples' names and identities is a basic right and not a political opinion?
No pressure. Just seeking some validation of my sentiment. Due to some. people
everybody go home the best tag on this post just dropped
ā¼ļøAs a result of the Russian missile attack in Odesa, 10 people were killed. Among them were 7 police officers, a medic and two local residents, - the State Emergency Service and the National Police.
The number of injured people - 43, including 4 children.
The strike was carried out by an Iskander ballistic missile. The impact damaged a dormitory, a high-rise building, an administrative building and cars.
Trans people in Ukraine: transition process, legislations, healthcare, and social attitudesĀ

Whether itās Ukraine, Palestine, or other āthird worldā countries, the issue of queer rights is often used even by the relatively well-meaning liberals to claim: āWe shouldnāt help them, look how badly they treat their queers!ā
Of course, the ethical argument against it would be that no one deserves genocide and not that āthe situation is not that bad.ā But anyone who has argued online at least once knows thatās not how it works. So the argument I'm here to make is:
Trans rights and lives in Ukraine are not that bad.
Iām a trans man living in Kyiv. Iām currently medically and legally transitioning, I have a lot of trans/nb friends and try to involve myself in activism. So I have both first-hand experience and up-to-date info to talk about the issue.
Let me be very clear here: things are not perfect.Ā
We still donāt have a lot of legal protections we need. The human factor and community networks matter a lot. But itās not the āleave the country if youāre transā levels of bad, and havenāt been for a while.Ā
Compared to some Western European countries with rights for self-id and third gender markers, Ukraine is obviously not that progressive.
However, after learning more about the UKās trans issues, as well as the various US statesā anti-trans legislations, I was compelled to write this text because I wanted to say from the bottom of my heart: āShut the fuck upā to everyone who wants to say something about how backward Ukraine is.Ā
In Ukraine, trans and other queer people can live their lives relatively freely. And whatās even more important: in contrast to a lot of ādevelopedā countries, the situation with trans rights and social acceptance is actually improving.Ā
(Am I afraid that our society and legislators will slide backward with the influence tr*mp will have over the whole world? Yes. But thatās another issue entirely. And historically, even during his first term, our laws actually improved.)
So, if you ever find yourself arguing about Ukraine, here is everything you need to know to also politely ask everyone bemoaning āpoorā Ukrainian queersā fates to shut up.
In the first part, I talk about general vibes, and in the second one, I go into the transition process in way more depth than was necessary. This monstrosity absolutely got out of hand, if Iām honest. Maybe I need to try to shoot a YouTube video so people can use it as background noise.
Read on Medium or keep reading here.
In any case, enjoy!

9 dead, 42 injured as a result of these air strikes
Iām a 32 year old Black man about to be living under a Donald Trump presidency in AmeriKKKa, and hereās what I intend on doing: IāM GONNA FUCKING MAKE IT THROUGH THE NEXT FOUR YEARS AND BEYOND. But I know I wonāt make it on my own. Iām going to need a lot of help from my friends, family and allies. Not paternalistic white people with white savior complexes, but honest to God allies.
I S2G we are going to make it through this shit. I promise you that.
But right now, today is the time to start organizing and planning. Call your loved ones. Make safe spaces for Black people, indigenous peoples, LGBTQ people, for women and for immigrants.
We donāt make it through the next four years without helping each other.
Solidarity isnāt just the name of the game, itās the ONLY game under a Trump presidency.
Welp.
Today Iām 8 years older than the day I made this post, and the same thing applies: solidarity is still the name of the game. We get through this by helping each other and making safe spaces for marginalized groups and demonized peoples.
And while weāre at it, letās fuck some shit up too.
I know most of tumblr is thinking about the USA right now. but fuck the nz government right now too. tomorrow, the treaty principles bill, the 'worst, most comprehensive breach of Te Tiriti in modern times' is being introduced to parliament early, because there were activations planned country wide and the cowards decided to pull it forwards. fuck this government. a friend of mine had to go home early, crying. I've been in shock all day since it came out.
check on your MÄori friends, e hoa mÄ. see what they need. see how you can help. everyday, we see and experience racism. from people around us, up to our government. community care will save us.
it passed its first reading today.
go to the hīkoi if you're in aotearoa.
sign the petition even if you're not.
when submissions open, write one.
reshare MÄori peoples voices on social media.
check in on the MÄori in your life. fund mutual aid for MÄori. send us your aroha.
A lot of older Ukrainians deal with their trauma by not talking about it, that's the way it was in my family, many people say the same thing about their relatives, how they rarely talked about their own experience of Holodomor, war and soviet union. And I used to think how on Earth were they able to contain all that trauma inside, but now I get it. It's important to talk about it, but what would I be able to say to my grandkids in the future? How can I put into words how scared and angry and exhausted I am? How terrifying it is to be this close to death every day? How much pain and memories of people and places that don't exist anymore you carry? How scared and hurt you're not only for your loved ones, but also complete strangers? No words can explain the extreme emotions we feel every day. You don't get it until it happens to you.
Diary of an 8-year-old boy during the siege of Mariupol, Ukraine.
"WAR
Sunday: I slept well, woke up, smiled, got up and read to page 25. Also my grandfather died. I have a wound on my back, the skin is torn. My sister has a head injury. My mother has torn flesh on her arm and a hole in her head"
"FRIEND
I'm 8 years old. My sister is 15 years old. Mom is 38 years old and needs a bandage. Mom is first, I'm second, sister is third. By the way I have a friend Vika and she's our neighbor. She has nice parents.
Monday: i woke up like yesterday, smiled, etc. Grandma went looking for water and she came back. By the way, itās almost my birthday"
"Two of my dogs died, so did my Grandma Halya and my favourite city Mariupol since Thursday 24th [of February]"

There may be one and only one good thing to possibly come from the US circus now, and it's that tankies there might finally shut the fuck up about "Ukrainian Nazis".
I mean, if they had any sense of self awareness and lived in any sort of reality I mean.
How could you sit there at this point and accuse a whole other country (with a Jewish president and no significant far right representation in it's government) of being run by Nazis when you've just given yours to them on a platter and elected a racist rapist who actively caused harm to millions to run your asses?
"Age-old Russian colonialism ā manifested this century in wars againstĀ Ichkeria,Ā Georgia, andĀ UkraineĀ ā endures not through any single leader or regime but through a mindset ingrained in the collective psyche. Rooted in centuries of conquest, Moscow reframes aggression as defense, shielding Russian society from confronting its role in sustaining the empire and its violence."
āAndrew Chakhoyan, Academic director at the University of Amsterdam
