When I was a child, my mom taught me how to speak russian correctly, to the tiniest details. I remember how she laughed, "No, "Japoniya" is a Belarus way. You have to say "Jiponiya". I remember how I was confused because why can't I say "in a Belarus way"? Why do I have to say in russian, while living in Ukraine?

My mother's language was taken from me because of Great Russia. Accent even. Because "Great Russians" made her leave her land, took her home away, and promised to kill her whole family. My mom had to start a completely new life without being able to see her family in DECADES. My mom already forgot her own language. Teaching me russian, my mom hopelessly believed it would save me from Great Russia. It didn't.

My father didn't even have the chance to teach me Ukrainian because he worked on multiple jobs. I couldn't see him in years.

And despite my family being extremely loving and supportive, my siblings and I didn't avoid domestic violence. That's what happens when your parents are genocide victims. Because of Great Russia.

And now Great Russia invaded my homeland, kills and rapes people, erases cities, erases whole families, and makes hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians become the same as my own parents.

Great Russia destroyed my whole fucking life from the very beginning. Great Russia made my family like this. My hatred to Great Russia is limitless. Till my own death, I wish Great Russia to Burn In Hell For Eternity.

Antifascist activist Kita becomes the latest political prisoner under Belarus' authoritarian Lukashenko regime. She was arrested with her husband back in March for making Instagram posts criticising the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the police.

Her conviction is for inciting hatred toward a group of people, cops. Specifically in calling them garbage.

If you want to support Kita, please follow the instagram account @free.kitaanalena As a political prisoner her rights in prison are severely curtailed but there is a network providing what support they can.

Wir freuen uns darüber am Sonntag den 9. Oktober die Genoss*innen von @belarus_abc bei uns in Köln zu Gast heißen zu können. Im folgenden findet ihr eine kurze Einleitung in den Vortrag, welcher auf Englisch stattfinden wird. Die Gruppe sammelt im Rahmen der Veranstaltung Spenden für ihre Solidaritätsarbeit in Belarus. Wir freuen uns außerdem, dass die @fau_koeln bereits ab 14 Uhr das Café im Naturfreundehaus öffnen wird und vor der Veranstaltung zu Kuchen und Getränken einlädt. "Im Jahr 2020 erhob sich die belarussische Gesellschaft gegen die Diktatur von Alexander Lukaschenko und seinen Lakaien. Monatelang organisierten sich die Menschen, demonstrierten und kämpften für eine gerechte und freie Gesellschaft. Doch der Staat setzte sich durch und begann, den Protest Schritt für Schritt zu zerschlagen. Seit dem Beginn des Aufstandes sind mehr als zwei Jahre vergangen. Tausende landeten für viele Jahre im Gefängnis. Darunter auch Anarchistinnen und Antifaschistinnen, die mit der Bevölkerung auf der Straße standen. Trotz der langen Zeit, die seitden Protesten vergangen ist, geht der Staatsterror weiter, mit immer mehr Verhaftungen wegen der Teilnahme an den Protesten oder des anhaltenden Widerstands gegen das Regime. Anarchist Black Cross Belarus organisiert seit 13 Jahren Solidaritätsarbeit mit unterdrückten Anarchistinnen und Antifaschistinnen. Diese Arbeit erfordert einen hohen Aufwand an Ressourcen und Zeit. In den letzten Jahren haben wir es mit der Unterstützung von Genossinnen aus aller Welt geschafft, unsere Arbeit fortzusetzen, aber in den letzten Monaten wurden unsere Mittel durch ständige Gerichtsverfahren aufgebraucht. Wir sind nun verschuldet und rufen zur Unterstützung auf, um unsere Solidarität fortsetzen zukönnen. Auf den Spendenveranstaltungen werden wir über die Proteste, die anarchistische Bewegung in Belarus und die Geschichten unserer vom Regime gefangenen Genossinnen sprechen. Falls ihr nicht an der Veranstaltung teilnehmen könnt, findet ihr hier alternative Möglichkeiten, an das ABC-Belarus zu spenden: https://abc-belarus.org/?lang=en Bis alle frei sind!

I also find it hilarious that on "soviet siblings" art from russians, russia is always in the centre of attention, russia is always a victim. This kind of art already tells me enough about such people's education level.

So, I need to explain Croatia.

The band, Let 3, are a famous Croatian left-wing punk group who have mocked the country's nationalism, supported Prides, and once got arrested for performing naked even though the band protested that they weren't cos they had corks in their butts.

Their song is a *direct* and *very* savage takedown of Putin and his wargames, mocking how he was gifted a tractor by his dictator pet, Belarus' Lukashenko."

No going back now. Went back to the green hell of the Belarus/Poland border to support my crew tryna keep refugees alive on their journey w medical needs, food, clothing, phone access, cigarettes, asylum papers, whatever. To avoid detection we navigate in total darkness but sometimes at night we'll risk a red light like a campfire that gives no heat. I'll try to get stories when/how I can around the glow while the medics tend to razor wire injuries or dog bites or whatever wounds these rival states have inflicted. Borders are death, I don't trust myself with a proper description but they are bad. fuck them and fuck the cowards maintaining them.

A Gun Amongst Daggers - Jake “Hangman” Seresin X Fem!Navy Seal Reader

Part 3: Intel

Summary: When Jake meets a woman at the Hard Deck, the last thing he expects is for her to be a Navy Seal. And not just any Seal, the Commander of Seal Team 3. She’s beautiful, smart, dangerous, and everything about her just makes him want to get close. Her name? Bear. When the Seals need backup, Cyclone puts the Daggers on their radar and now, Jake has to work with Bear and her team, all the while trying to stay professional. Can he do it? Or will he end up falling for the Navy sniper and mission Commander?

“I saw that Sir. New intel on al-Hameed’s location?”

“Yep,” he replied. “Satellite imaging confirmed his arrival outside Ash Shamli. Khrushov and Osmund are him.”

Bear blinked in surprise. “Khrushov? Like Mikael Khrushov? The arms dealer?”

Harris nodded. “The very same. Air Force radar in Riyadh noted al-Hameed’s presence two days ago in Saudi.” He paused, grabbing a file off of his desk and began to flip through it. “It’s estimated that the pair and their entourages will be in Saudi Arabia for the foreseeable future as Khrushov is now wanted in Belarus as well as Central and Eastern Europe on several charges of arms dealing, terrorism plots, and more. Osmund, on the other hand, is wanted in over 20 countries for theft of government secrets and is behind several data leaks from major foreign governments.”

“So what does this mean for us?” Bear asked. Scenarios were running through her mind, possible alterations to their plans, supplies, and personnel were now at the forefront. “Will this be a collaboration with the Air Force? Because you know my history with them, Sir.”

“As of now, Commander, we have very little information on what this means. All I can advise you and your team to do is prepare for a joint operation. Extra weapons drills, covert training, the works,” Shark told her, his face grim. “I am assigning your team a detonation expert in the likelihood of you needing them.”

Bear just nodded, her face schooled into the most neutral look she could muster. “One more question. You mentioned a joint operation, who is joining us?”

Rear Admiral Harris nodded. “That is true. The USS Abraham Lincoln is heading out in a few weeks. I believe that Busan is their destination. Our inland target of, well…I trust you to fill everyone in at the meeting tomorrow.” He paused, fingers tapping on the desk in front of him. “Long story short, we have incoming air support to help us with a few fly overs. They have their own mission, but Admiral Simpson has okayed a squadron as backup for a brief interval while we do extra recon and then again as air support.”

She blinked. “Sir, pardon the question. But are we sure that’s wise? Riyadh is a US Air Force base. Navy pilots and the Air Force don’t get along. I’d rather not be caught up in the middle of a military pissing contest.” Bear made eye contact with Rear Admiral Harris and saw that arguing was futile. “I will make plans to speak with the officer in charge asap, Sir. After the meeting tomorrow.”

“See to it that you do, Commander. You have always yielded results, I see no reason for you to disappoint me. You are dismissed.” Harris waved her off as he returned to his paperwork, leaving Bear to retreat from the office.

As she walked off, it felt like her thoughts had been out through a blender. They were scrambled and whirling out of control, but for right now, there was nothing to be done. So she put them aside for the moment and hurried to her car, tossing her stuff inside and heading off to the bar where she would meet Phoenix. God she needed a distraction.

===

For some inane reason, they had gone to the Hard Deck and it appeared that nearly every other Navy member on base had the same idea. “Remind me why we decided to come here?” Bear yelled over the din. She elbowed past a few women, ignoring the indignant yelps and cries of them as she shouldered her way through.

“That was my bad! Sorry!” Phoenix yelled back. “But hey, we can just leave!”

“Grab a drink first? Then outside?”

A thumbs up from Phoenix, and she watched the pilot redirect herself out the door and onto the beach. Bear grimaced at the amount of people around her, the volume of everyone who’d packed themselves into the bar made it hard for her to keep track of everything going on. Sniper’s instinct, her Lieutenant had called it. She was hyper aware of everything around her and it was almost too much.

“You must be Bear!” Penny yelled over the noise, wiping a ring off the bar top. “What can I get you?”

The Seal snorted. Word traveled fast when pilots were involved. “Yep. Can I grab a beer and a lemonade from you?”

“For sure. Your tab?”

Bear gave her a thumbs up, and the older woman passed the drinks over a few minutes later. “There you go.”

“Thanks Penny.” She gave a quick wave before slipping back through the crowd, effectively disappearing. Once outside, Bear took a deep breath, relishing in the fresh air and the lack of noise.

She found Phoenix sitting in the sand a little ways away staring out at the water. “Here.”

“Oh, thanks,” came the reply as the pilot took the offered bottle. “What did you get?”

“Lemonade.”

“I swear sometimes that you and Bob are the same person,” Phoenix said, shaking her head in laughter. “You don’t drink?”

“I try not to,” Bear chuckled, shrugging as she did. “I hate the way alcohol tastes and I really hate the fact that it makes me less aware of what’s going on. But that’s just me.”

Phoenix hummed. “Fair enough.” She took a sip of her drink before setting it down in the sand. “What’s the deal with you and Bagman? Both of you were acting a little weird this afternoon.”

“It’s nothing. Pretty sure he’s just trying to piss me off,” the Seal replied, rolling her eyes. “And I’m not about to let him win.”

“Maybe. But it’s definitely more than that,” the pilot pressed. “I think that he’s into you.”

Bear choked on her lemonade. After a coughing fit, she managed to wheeze out “What?”

“Hangman, Jake, whoever, thinks that you, Bear, the Navy Seal, are hot as fuck and he seems to have a thing for women who have ‘resting murder face’.” Phoenix pointed at the other woman, before continuing. “And you have the best RMF I have ever seen.”

Bear just stared at her friend. “What the fuck Nix?” Disbelief was written all over her face and Bear found herself stunned at how her heart skipped a beat at the mere thought of having the cocky blonde pilot’s attention.

“I’m not wrong. And from your very dramatic reaction, I’d be willing to bet that you think he’s hot too.”

“Umm…you’re very wrong,” Bear spluttered. “But because you’re my friend, I won’t tell you how wrong you are.”

“I’m honored…” Phoenix deadpanned, taking another sip of her drink. “What happened when you left earlier?”

“CO wanted to see me. New intel for our next deployment, other than that, I can’t really say much.”

“Classified?”

“Highly.”

Phoenix nodded, looking back out at the ocean before them. “When do you head out?”

“A few weeks,” Bear replied, sipping her drink. “Heard through the grapevine that you Daggers are about to ship out too. Any idea where?”

“Nope. It’s a mission assist though, could be fun depending on who we get sent out with,” Phoenix commented. “We will meet with them tomorrow. Get a sense of the mission and see how much lifting we have to do.”

Bear opened her mouth to speak but was cut off by a shout. Turning, she saw the rest of the Dagger pilots hurrying across the sand to them. “Oh great,” she pretended to grumble. She had rolled her eyes, but the gesture was fond. “When did you flyboys get here?”

“A few minutes ago,” Fanboy yelled back, beaming at her. “Why? You miss us?”

She pretended to think, humming. “Nah, I do enough babysitting as it is.”

Rooster let out a loud mock gasp, pretending to stumble backwards. “How DARE you?” He screeched breathily.

Bear made eye contact with Phoenix and the pair burst into giggles. “Oh I dare very easily,” she teased, standing up and bumping his arm with hers. “Whatcha doing out here? Thought you’d be the life of the party, Bradshaw.”

“What am I? Chopped liver?” Jake said jokingly as he sidled up to her. She said nothing, choosing to smirk instead. Green eyes met brown and Jake saw the amusement and mischief twinkling in them. “Never mind. Don’t answer that.”

“Smart man.” Bear had turned to look up at him, giving him a teasing smile in response to his words. A cough from Phoenix had Bear narrowing her eyes and giving the pilot a hard look. “No.”

Sensing the sudden burst of tension, Payback spoke up. “So Bear. Are we ever going to get the story behind that?”

“You really want to know?”

“Yes!” A shout rose up from the group of pilots standing around her.

“Fine. Fine,” Bear said, giving in. “I’m called Bear, because I’m a grumpy fuck in the morning.”

A man near the back of the group who she knew to be Harvard spoke up “That’s it? Not some deep dark secret behind it?”

“Why? You don’t believe me?” Bear asked, eyebrow raised.

“We have no proof that that’s even true!” Harvard argued.

“Send Jake in, he’ll get to the bottom of it,” Rooster joked, but his laughter stopped abruptly when he caught sight of the sharp look on Bear’s face.

“More like he’d bottom her,” Coyote whispered to Phoenix, who had to turn away to hide her laughter.

“Hey!” Jake yelled, his face going red. “No. Just no.”

Bear just sent him a wink, laughing to herself as he spluttered indignantly. “Nix told me that you ship out soon. Any idea when? Because I’m out in the next few weeks.”

“Unfortunately due to the classified nature of US Naval deployments, we are unable to provide that information,” Fanboy recited in a serious voice. The tone of his voice made the group crack up, himself included, with Bear rolling her eyes in fondness.

“Okay. Okay. Guess I should have expected that,” she said with a laugh, putting her hands up in mock surrender.

“Just messing with you,” Fanboy replied, still chuckling a little. “Sometime in the next few weeks too. We have a meeting tomorrow about it. Giving us details and shit.”

“Oh fun,” Bear said, eyes shifting around the group. Coyote and Payback had started throwing rocks into the ocean, yelling about how far they could throw, their loud voices seeming to echo around them. Harvard, Halo, and a few of the others had broken off into their own group and seemed to be chatting about nothing in particular. It made her smile at the easy camaraderie between them. She knew how difficult the Navy could be and she was just glad that they had their people around them.

===

Hours later, after night had fallen and the air grew cold, Bear finally stood up and stretched. “I’m heading out guys,” she said, to the protests of a few of the pilots around her. “My meeting is early tomorrow morning and I actually have to pay attention to this one because I’m leading it.”

“Aww c’mon!” The group protested, Rooster among the loudest. He admired Bear for her strength and the take-no-shit attitude she had. Plus he found it funny when she teased Hangman to no end.

“I know, I’m sorry.” She grinned widely. “I might see you all tomorrow. But if not, I’ll see you around.” With a wave, Bear began to walk towards her car.

A shuffle behind her had her shaking her head as she continued walking. “Can I help you, Hangman?”

Jake paused, stunned at the speed at which she’d guessed it was him. “How’d you-”

“I just do,” she said with a wide grin, cutting him off. Spinning to face him with a smirk, Bear spoke again “So, can I help you?”

“That depends.”

“Depends on what?” Bear raised an eyebrow in question, looking at him curiously.

It was Jake’s turn to smirk, green eyes seeming to glitter in the night as he peered at her. “On whether or not you plan on taking my offer, Teddy.”

Her confusion deepened. “What offer?”

“You know what? Never mind. I like my dick where it is and I would like to keep it there.”

“Oh, you mean that little line in the hallway earlier,” she said, smirking. “I highly doubt you can maintain the speed I need. You seem too much like a ‘one and done’ kind of guy.”

“My mama would have me by the throat if she ever got the impression that I treated women with so little respect,” Jake replied, a blush rising to his cheeks. “Especially if I left them as unsatisfied as you must be by some of the losers on base.”

Her eyes narrowed, but this time it wasn’t teasing. Bear looked angry; her face pinched and if looks could kill, Jake would be reduced to a grease spot on the sand. “Your mama would be so disappointed in your behavior right now, Lieutenant,” she snarled, her eyes nearly slits and venom coated every syllable. “And, for the record, my “satisfaction”, as you put it, is none of your fucking business.”

“Woah. Okay, chill,” Hangman raised his hand, almost placating the woman before him. “I didn’t mean it like that. Just that you wouldn’t be wound so tight if you took me up on my offer.”

“Well, I guess I won’t be so lucky as to fall under you,” Bear shot back. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I should get going.” She turned and walked off, leaving a stunned Jake in her wake.

Eurovision is a pretty big deal, but is it more important than solidarity with the Palestinian people? No. Don’t be stupid.

[...]

Potential performers have claimed they will not attend if Israel is allowed to participate or will lobby the EBU to kick them out. Former participants and thousands of musicians from Finland, Iceland and Sweden have called for Israel to be excluded. Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) called for the expulsion of Israel. When that failed, March 2nd they called for a boycott of the song competition. Eurovision journalists have either intentionally limited their coverage of Israel in Eurovision 2024 or have dealt with the EBU’s hypocrisy head on (and received death threats). Letter writing campaigns have been directed at national broadcasters, the EBU, the performers and sponsors (you can find the details here if you are interested). Alternative, boycott-friendly watch parties are being organised (including this one in Berlin organised by myself which will be fundraising for Medical Aid Palestine). It is impossible to keep politics out of this contest. Banning Russia was a political move and the shows of sympathy and support to Ukraine by performers and even the contest organisers themselves was a political act—an act that, as far as I can tell, has been appreciated by viewers and fans. However, if Russia can get banned for an invasion, Belarus can get banned for media repression, but Israel can remain, the EBU is sending a pretty clear signal that Palestinian lives don’t matter.

[dostoyevsky-official]

you might be confused on what happened in russia this past weekend. it’s a little convoluted, but not too hard to grasp: 

evgeniy prigozhin (head of wagner private military company (pmc)), was told by shoigu (minister of defense) that all wagner troops would be signing contracts with the ministry of defense on july 1. facing a deadline he could not renegotiate, he decided to use wagner on a march on moscow to stop said dissolution, as a sort of last-minute decision to wage gangland turf war. actually, it was a military mutiny, because wagner wasn’t getting supplies, which it was hoarding for months to prepare this. actually, it was a coup to overthrow putin and end the war. in a video message that morning, prigozhin derided the war as senseless, corrupt, and fabricated, lambasting the denazification pretext in particular as a lie. actually, he wanted to overthrow putin because he, wagner, and his supporters want to prosecute the war more efficiently. actually, they want to prosecute the war more efficiently, but they didn’t want to overthrow putin: what they wanted was to get rid of shoigu and gerasimov (chief of general staff). 

his supporters? yes, there were high-ranking individuals and networks in the kremlin who supported prigozhin. this is why wagner wasn’t stopped in time and took over rostov, saboteurs blew up military bases around moscow, and regular troops defected to wagner. actually, there were no saboteurs. actually, everyone in the russian government supported putin, which is why the air force bombed wagner on their highway march north and regular army troops engaged wagner forces. surovikin (commander of the aerospace forces, former chief of general staff) immediately published a video calling on prigozhin and wagner to stand down, as did the deputy head of the military intelligence. actually, surovikin was on prigozhin’s side the whole time. actually, the american intelligence community lied about surovikin’s role to encourage a purge, because he is one of the more competent russian generals. actually, surovikin knew about prigozhin’s plans and was on putin’s side, and didn’t intervene earlier to set prigozhin up for failure. actually, no one supported anybody, and everyone simply wanted to see where the winds were blowing.

as this was ongoing, the russian military bombed apartments in kyiv and other cities, as the ukrainian offensive continued in the south. the ukrainians have the upper hand, and are slowly, but surely, beating back the russians. actually, their offensive is stalling, and russian internal divides help them. 

how did russians react? they didn’t do anything to stop wagner, showing that they don’t support putin or the war. actually, they didn’t do anything because they’re apathetic, apolitical, and nihilistic, believing in nothing. actually, they supported wagner troops because they’re fascists who want the war to continue. the russian opposition is against the war and wagner. a few leading figures issued statements in support of the rebellion while it was ongoing, because the russian opposition supports the war and finances wagner.

actually, all of this was staged by putin to weed out enemies. this is why prigozhin got everything he wanted: the dissolution of wagner pmc, exile, and charges filed by the FSB and the ministry of justice investigating him for corruption. prigozhin stopped so close to moscow because it was all a false flag. actually, prigozhin, widely-known for his humanitarian views, stopped because he didn’t want bloodshed. actually, he stopped because he was short on troops, weapons, and heavy equipment. putin comes out looking strong, as someone who disappears for 12 hours, can’t make a decision, and can’t enforce it 200 km away from the capital. putin, who only respects force, is letting this go as a sign of respect by immediately walking back on the deal he struck via lukashenko, who was fleeing belarus on a jet to turkey, as the kalinouski regiment was about to start its own belarusian coup against him. the russian government looks strong and resilient in the aftermath of all this. actually, it exposes the sclerotic rot and hollowness of the state, which is now standing on feet of clay. putin will have to carry out a purge to strengthen his power. actually, it could all remain the same for years to come.

#is that all of it

I Support A 2 State Solution

I support the 2 state solution:

Palestinians get Palestine, and israelis return to their original countries.

Every single Israeli prime minister is from Eastern Europe.

They have no connection to Palestine whatsoever.

David Ben-Gurion – Poland

Moshe Sharett – Russian Empire

Levi Eshkol – Russian Empire

Yigal Allon – Belarus

Golda Meir – Ukraine

Yitzhak Rabin – Eastern European

Yitzhak Shamir – Poland / Belarus

Shimon Peres – Poland

Benjamin Netanyahu – Poland

Ehud Barak – Lithuania

Ariel Sharon – Georgia

Ehud Olmert – Ukraine/ Russia

Naftali Bennett – America / Europe

Yair Lapid – Serbia / Hungary

Israelis are white European colonizers who came to Palestine to steal land and use religion as an excuse.

The US and UK support them so they keep the Arab world in chaos (divide and conquer) and have an illegal military outpost on someone else’s land.
