Working on a biography of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
I do not support the current White House occupiers.
Pinned
I enjoyed President Zelenskyy's message to families and associates of the aggressor state that are living abroad.

This also applies to all the Russian invaders currently occupying Ukrainian territory.

If ICE and CBP don't want to be called secret police, then don't wear masks. 
 
If they don't want to be accused of kidnapping, then don't drag people out of cars & houses without warrants.
 
And if they don't want to be accused of being lawless, then start following the law.

President Zelensky met skeleton athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych, who was disqualified from the 2026 Olympics over a helmet honoring Ukrainian athletes killed by Russia. Zelensky presented him with the Order of Freedom and thanked him for his stance and courage.

We continue to see no drawdown today with ICE activity in the Phillips neighborhood, Columbia Heights, and Shakopee.

Our pressure is working as the Senate bill to fund DHS did not pass last night. Keep up the pressure by reaching out to your federal representatives.

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, we’ll introduce the International Olympic Committee (IOC). It’s mostly known for organizing sporting events, and for being supposed to foster the Olympic ideal while actually submitting to dictators.

DHS is shutting down. Why? Because Democrats took an oath of office to uphold the Constitution and ICE is lawless and out of control. We cannot fund an agency that is murdering our citizens, tear gassing school zones, and disappearing legal immigrants.

The Sky Sentinel and Dark Night campaigns are complete🔥

Together, we raised $3,300,000+ (including $497,996 via Dark Night) for 22 air defense units.
Most of them are already protecting Ukraine from russian drones.

Thank you for making Ukrainians safer💙💛

Periodic reminder: the same Russian assets now telling you that the Russian invasion was imminent, inevitable and provoked, were telling you it will never happen (until the last second when it did). Like one Caitlin Johnstone, for example.

Another example of the subtly negative narrative about Zelenskyy (and another opportunity for Iuliia Mendel to get attention by being critical of her former boss).
Can someone tell me what this “beautiful” window of opportunity even looks like? What “deals” are we talking about here?
Seems like there's no “deal”, only a demand for the Ukrainian people to surrender their territory and give up.

To me, this post looks like an example of information manipulation.

Thank goodness, someone else recognizes this. Shuster has a way of adding unnecessary drama and negativity to cover up for his own lack of insight.
#Zelenskyy
Simon Shuster gets lots of praise but I find his reporting manipulative. He always gently plants pro-Ru assumptions. His latest article is abt whether Ze would take the peace deal but the idea there IS a deal for the taking obscures Ru’s intransigence and casts Ze as standing between war and peace.

I don't care if Stephen Miller wants ICE to be able to beat up, shoot, or detain citizens.

In America, we believe in due process. We believe in our Constitution. We believe in law and order—safe streets, law enforcement we can trust.

If you don’t like that? Go to Russia.

Those who have paid attention have known this about Zelenskyy for quite some time. Somehow, journalists continue to be surprised and/or confused by it.
If you tell Zelensky he has to do something, “he’s probably going to do the opposite,” said one of his longtime advisers who, like others, spoke with me on the condition of anonymity. “It’s always been like that.”

ICE goons in America have detained a Ukrainian man who was collecting groceries in a Walmart car park in Minnesota.

One of the ICE agents began to laugh,” Kulyk told The Daily Beast. “I asked why he was laughing and I was told that he was pro-Russian, wanted Russia to win the war.”

Not every issue in our politics needs to be shirts and skins. Republicans don’t need to automatically be against everything Democrats stand for. We could decide together that no president should ever arrest a political opponent for free speech.

IOC President Kirsty Coventry maintains that sport is neutral and remains open to discussions about allowing Russia to return to the Olympics.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian athletes have been disqualified for honoring those killed by Russia.
