I've always said that war is not about numbers or equipment.War is about people, their stories,their lives

The faces you see here are rescuers from Odesa region.Russia attacks Odesa a lot.The rescuers have to deal with the aftermath

None of us chose war.It's been brought upon us and we do our best

If she gets her way, we will have no public infrastructure, and goons arresting people for being brown in public. Anyone inspired by this shit is ultimately eugenicist and genocidal. No joke.

Like I don’t think you get to go “gosh we just want to sell stuff, not get political” when you want to sell that stuff to people who are on the receiving end of existential threats from your president. If you sit that out, you’re making a choice

Americans are the bullies, NOT the victims.

JFC. How brain dead and selfish do you have to be to see America’s economic warfare against Canada and threats to

This victim narrative makes me hate them more.
