I have returned home to Kharkiv.

Kharkiv was under constant shelling during more than two month. Now Ukranian armed forces are liberating the Kharkiv region with success. But russian bombs still reach city and peaceful villages. Every night people fall asleep to the sounds of close death because russia is waging war against ordinary people.

These sounds also mean that somebody is still fighting and dying for life and freedom of Ukraine. We are safe and sound because of them. They are heroes but they are also people. Every Ukrainian was peaceful before the russian invasion. But now our heroes have to defend our right to exist. They go through the hell in Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv, Mariupol, Mikolaiv, Herson, Zaporizhzhia… And we should do everything to support them.

We need our heroes to come back alive. If you want to help you can donate in official Ukranian fond.

It continues to astound me that westerners will say shit like “yes Russia has done bad, bUt uKrAinE hAs DoNe bAD tHinGS tOo”

The vast majority of people aren’t denying that Ukraine is an imperfect country. The majority of people are aware there are bad parts about Ukraine. The vast majority of people will not deny that there are bad Ukrainians.

Anyone with a brain will know that a the population of a country of around forty million is going to have people who aren’t perfect little saints about being invaded. No I would not be surprised to hear there have been Ukrainian soldiers who committed war crimes; quite frankly I’d be shocked if after all the looting, abductions, tortures, mutilations, rapes, murders, destruction and whatever other horrendous thing the Russians have done I found out not a single person maybe sought revenge for that (and no I’m not saying warcrimes are okay but Jesus Christ use your brain for five seconds. It’s a war, of course not everything will be heroic and nice)

Sure, that stuff will need it’s prosecution in due time, and sure, there’s probably things you could reasonably criticize the Ukrainian government and army for (incidentally, many Ukrainian journalists continue to do so, even in English, but who’s counting)

The thing is that most of you who bring up Ukrainian faults use it to distract from the fundamental reality of this war: Russia is invading Ukraine and committing genocide. The victims of genocide and invasion shouldn’t have to be saints for you to not treat these sides as equal. Because they aren’t.

Believe it or not that applies to the victims of imperialism, colonialism, and war in general. I don’t know why we in the west have this obsession with perfect victims, but it has to stop. Even when we advocate for victims we act as though they were these beacons of life rather than tackling the simple truth that genocide, mass murder, and oppression are simply not justified, regardless of how “good” or “bad” the victims are.

People are flawed, cultures are flawed, so stop with this shit of “who has committed the most sins” so we can get back to genocide being wrong, thanks

I’m sick of this victim blaming.

Every person who says such things to Ukrainians is a bastard. Every person who don’t want to listen to us is a coward.

dont give up on Palestine, Kurds,Sudan, Ethiopia, Ukraine, Afghanistan or any other people who are being faced with Genocide, Ethnic Cleansings, Apartheid, Oppresion or injustice altogether.

they rely on all of us to be their voice.

times are changing and the world has gotten more humane than ever. humanity is thriving.

no longer will we be divided by colour, race, religions, goals , power. let us be who we really are. humans.

one day, when you find yourself in a similar scenario, perhaps the good we did for them at their lowest points, may return to us in an unexpected way.

you loose nothing by fighting for the weak and vulnerable.

dont choose to be blind.

lead the way, educate yourselves. be the uprising.

thinking about how a Ukrainian man made a video explain why and how exactly atomic heart is russian propaganda and why you shouldn't buy it (a comprehensive guide for westerns who don't have a moral compass) and unfortunately he got dislike bombed to shit because if there's one thing Americans hate more than human rights is being begged not to support terrorists.

don't buy atomic heart.

Museum and home of famous Ukrainian painter flooded

The home of famed Ukrainian painter Polina Raiko is under water as a result of the Kakhovka dam destruction.

Polina Raiko was a self-taught painter and an important figure in Ukrainian naïve artistry. Raiko passed away in 2004 at the age of 75 but her home became a museum and a national cultural monument of Ukraine.

So let's talk about Ukraine vs Palestine. While generally I hate when people bring it up, cuz I lost people in the Ukraine war and I lost my home, I STILL GET IT. Fuck, I really do. The glaring and blatant racism that exists even in the humanitarian sector is CRAZY. I work in humanitarian aid, and in case you didn't know, the humanitarian sector has 4 humanitarian principles that everyone in the sector has to adhere to, one of them being NEUTRALITY.

Well, wouldn't you know, one of humanitarian organizations I had the displeasure of working with has signed an open letter that dismissed the notion of being neutral in the Ukrainian war. They signed a letter that urged people to stop being neutral on the issue. And when this was brought up to higher ups (not some no name local organization, but an INTERNATIONAL COMPANY), they said IT'S FINE. It's their choice to not be neutral and we have to respect that.

Which is fucking crazy, because imagine if something like this was discussed in literally any other context? Like right now, Palestinian speakers are getting invited on TV only for the interviewer to jump on the person that was grieving just a moment ago about their lost family, asking if they condone Hamas. Holy shit, isn't it fucking crazy?

Ukrainians had a big platform to advocate for their cause, they had loud voices tell it as it was instead of what the propaganda said. That's just true. A lot of Ukrainians are proud of that. It's only possible because, YES UKRAINIANS (mostly) ARE WHITE. Geopolitically there's more to that but that's not the point of the post at all. The blue eyed blonde Ukrainian stereotype isn't true in reality but it's true in minds of westerners. And that's really all that matters to them.

Are Palestinians asked the same questions Ukrainians were? Why not? What is the difference? Ask yourself that question, and know that the right answer is that Ukrainians are (mostly) white and more palpable for the western audiences.

Anyway, I urge all Ukrainians to actually read about this issue from Palestinians, stop falling for stupid propaganda, stop trying to whitewash Israel as well. Same goes to every Ukraine sympathiser. And before anyone comes here and tells me I don't know anything about Ukrainian situation and war... I work in a humanitarian field in crisis analytics and data analysis, I am Ukrainian, I am from Donbas, I lost relatives and friends in the war and my home, so maybe I even know more than some of y'all.

#ukraine #palestine #from the river to the sea palestine will be free #free palestine #israel is an apartheid state #russia is a terrorist state #stand with palestine #overall? i am just so tired of seeing ukrainians defend israel. #it's disgusting and honestly some of you need to read up on the issue instead of playing the same cards you accused westerners of when #ukrainian war began. don't y'all see the hypocrisy??? #YOU told westerners to read about ukrainian history and YOU talked about it #and now you turn around and say oh the issue is too nuanced for me when PALESTINIANS ask you to do the same thing? #shame on you.

Did you get home ok

Yes, thank you for asking! Our city wasn't the target, unlike yesterday, but there were still a lot of people in the underground, due to our neighborhood being under attack yesterday. I think if another big air raid happens in the next few nights, we're still going to go to the subway, even though it is very uncomfortable. Then the shock will wear off and ppl will hope that staying at home away from windows would be enough to be safe. Idk, it's just interesting to me how wartime "safe" cities work and how our psyche is influenced even away from the frontline.

Still, the main targets tonight were Kharkiv, which was left without light and electricity completely, and Dnipro, with our hydro-electrostation Dniprohes being targeted and damaged as the result of the air raid. Other cities all over Ukraine were also the targets and I'm a bit too sleepy to name all of the damage at the moment, but I can post about it later. The Dnipro dam station is stabilized, but still, the damage of this air raid exceeds all damage to our infrastructure and energy systems during this winter. This has been one of the most destructive air raids infrastructure wise in the past few months, I would say. Not even talking about the wounded and killed civilians, man, it was haunting just to read messages about sonic missiles hitting Kharkiv one after another. And Sumy being targeted in the past time, so many victims... I'm really glad to be alive and well and I hope to help somehow, even just by encouraging ppl to donate, and by sharing the news here, on Tumblr

what the fuck is happening with geopolitics? Slovakia, Hungary (the usual bastard orban), Poland (i still cannot find any declared reasoning behind these blockages), now Netherlands… it’s looking pretty shit ngl. oh, and i assume people who are bored of Biden will vote for Trump just because.

we need to amplify our voices. they are currently in the process of forgetting about us and/or downing rubles.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

March 22, 2024

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

MAR 23, 2024

As expected, Trump’s team has reorganized the Republican National Committee’s donation system, arranging for maximum donations to go first to Trump’s presidential campaign, then to Trump’s Save America political action committee, and finally to the RNC to elect down ballot candidates. The Save America PAC pays Trump’s legal bills. So far in 2024 it has spent $8.5 million on them. In essence, this new flow means Trump is using the RNC to raise money that is then diverted to him. 

This morning, conservative lawyer George Conway suggested that “we should stop defiling the memory of the party of Lincoln by referring to the current organization” as the Republican Party.

Midnight tonight was the deadline for the continuing resolution that was funding much of the government, and the House finally passed the necessary appropriations bills this morning, just hours before the deadline, by a vote of 286–134. Democrats put the bill over the top, adding 185 yea votes to the 101 Republicans voting in favor of the bill. In a blow to House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), 112 Republicans joined 22 Democrats to vote against the measure.. 

As soon as the bill passed, Johnson recessed the House until April 9.

Because the deadline to prevent a government shutdown was so tight, the Senate needed to take the House measure up immediately. But Senate rules mean that such a quick turnaround needs unanimous consent, and right-wing senators refused to give it. 

Instead, Republican senators Ted Budd (NC), Mike Lee (UT), Ted Cruz (TX), and Rand Paul (KY) demanded votes on extremist amendments to try to jam Democrats into a bind before the upcoming election. If the amendments passed, the government would shut down for the purely mechanical reason that the House can’t consider any amendments until it gets back to work in April. So the Democrats would certainly vote against any amendments to keep the government open. But this would mean they were on record with unpopular votes in an election year. 

The demand for amendments was partisan posturing, but the delay was particularly nasty: Senator Susan Collins (R-ME), who was a key negotiator of the bill, needed to get back to Maine for her mother’s funeral. 

In the House, the passage of the appropriations bill and the recess prompted significant changes. Representative Kay Granger (R-TX) announced she is stepping down from chairing the Appropriations Committee. 

Another Republican representative, Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin, announced he will leave Congress early, stepping down on April 19. Gallagher is chair of the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party and has voiced frustration with the current state of his party. His absence will shave the Republican House majority to just one vote, and the timing of his departure means he will not be replaced this session. Wisconsin law leaves any vacancy after the second Tuesday in April until the general election.

Representative Ken Buck (R-CO) announced last week that he, too, was leaving Congress early, complaining that “[t]his place has just evolved into…bickering and nonsense.” Today was his last day in the House. Before he left, he became the first Republican to sign on to the discharge petitions that would bring Ukraine aid to the floor even without House speaker Johnson’s support.

Despite the frustration of their colleagues, extremist Republicans are not backing down. After the appropriations measure passed, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) told reporters she has filed a motion to vacate the chair to punish Johnson for permitting the bill to pass without more extremist demands. Her threat will hang over the two-week break, but it is not clear what the House will do with her motion; they might simply bottle it up in committee. 

Greene might not push a vote on the speaker right now in part because of pressure from her colleagues to cut it out. They understand that the extraordinary dysfunction of the House under Republicans’ control is hurting them before the 2024 election, and another speaker fight would only add to the chaos. There is also the reality that with such a small majority, Johnson would have to rely on Democrats to save his speakership if it were challenged, and a number of them have suggested they would vote to keep him in the chair if he would agree to bring a vote on aid for Ukraine to the floor. 

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) told CNN that he would “make common cause with anybody who will stand up for the people of Ukraine, anybody who will get desperately needed humanitarian assistance to Gaza, and anybody who will work for a two state solution. I’m up for conversations with anybody.” 

The cost of Johnson’s withholding of assistance for Ukraine is mounting. Last night, Russia launched the largest barrages of missiles and drones since its war began at Ukraine’s power grid, leaving more than a million people without power and degrading Ukraine’s energy sector. The Institute for the Study of War assessed today that “continued delays in Western security assistance…are reportedly expected to significantly constrain Ukraine‘s air defense umbrella,” leaving Ukrainian forces unable to defend against missile attacks. Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky once again begged for aid, saying: “Russian missiles do not suffer delays in the way aid packages to our country do. Shahed drones are not affected by indecision like some politicians are.”

Ukraine has been using drones to attack Russia’s oil refineries, but Russia had a new problem today as a deadly attack on a Moscow concert hall claimed at least 60 lives. The Islamic State's Afghan branch, known as ISIS-K, which advocates for civilian mass-casualty events to weaken governments, claimed responsibility for the attack.
