I’m on it!
A small request to foreign journalists working in Ukraine: ask the Lviv City Council and the Holos party why their former council member led a group of men in attacking a 24-year-old guy who just wanted to give a lecture Without pressure, this case will be swept under the rug

“Why doesn’t Ukraine just trade land for peace so we can pat ourselves on the back”
Nastia spent months under Russian occupation in her hometown of Kherson, where Russia’s security services threatened to sew her mouth shut for singing Ukrainian songs. She was found and rescued by Save Ukraine, a Ukrainian organization that has brought home more than 1,700 children from Russian occupation. CBS News’ @aidan_stretch spoke to her and her art therapist in Kyiv, which has come under increased Russian attacks.

Today is little Emilia Bazylevych's birthday. russia stole this beautiful, innocent life, along with the lives of her mom and two sisters, in 2024. Every victim of russia's unjust and savage war of aggression is a wound in Ukraine's heart that will never heal 💔

My question to Trump tonight -
Q: On the checks, we have $40 trillion in debt. If your economic policies are working, why do you need an incentive for people to turn out to vote? TRUMP: I'm doing it as a reward for people having to put up for five years and four years of a horrible situation caused by Biden Q: You also offered tariff refund checks-- TRUMP: Not you. Not you Q: And that didn't happen TRUMP: Not you. You're the worst

I was on CNN with @BenInLDN to discuss what came of Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff’s visits to Kyiv and Moscow. In short, this all could’ve been an email. But, hey at least we had a weekend in Kyiv with no Russian attacks.

We’re under a ballistic missile attack here in Kyiv. Very loud. At least we were spared of attacks during Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff’s useless visit. 🤷🏿‍♀️

Public celebration of Mladić and all he stood for continues in Belgrade with a banner of Mladić that says “Direction Potočari” - the place where thousands crammed into a U.N base in squalid conditions, where men and boys were separated from women and girls, where today the @SrebrenicaMC Genocide Memorial stands, across from 6,782 people interred in the cemetery, and a memorial wall that lists more than 8,300 of his victims.

My mother, Mary Starr, has died. The cause of death is hypertension. I’m sorry for not being active on here the past week. But I have to deal with her affairs—from Ukraine. It’s a lot, but I’ll deal with it.

She suffered a lot in her life and I am honestly happy she is no longer in pain. Life dealt her a bad hand, one so bad that I’ve had to learn to write off the hurt she caused me to make space for the pain she carried in life. I forgave her decades ago.

Hear passing was merciful and I am happy she is at peace now. It is a lot to process. But, I have the emotional infrastructure to deal with it. Thank you for your support and I will be in touch.
