Very smart, very well said Terrell.
Really necessary, thank you!

MAGA exploits Iryna Zarutska’s murder—casting her as a “white woman” to erase Russian violence against Ukraine and stoke fear of Black men.

MAGA CEOs want murals to commodify her, not honor her. That’s desecration. True remembrance is solidarity.

Thank you @terrelljstarr.bsky.social for this excellent reporting on who Iryna Zarutska was. 👏🏻 Recall everyone about a week ago when the MAGAts were up in arms about the black man who had stabbed a white Ukrainian woman to death? This was that woman. May she rest in peace. Read to get more details.

Charlie Kirk wasn’t only a racist. He was one of the most anti-Ukraine, pro-Russian voices in MAGA. He propagandised xenophobia about the border to justify withdrawing military support for Ukraine.

Charlie Kirk wasn’t only a racist, he was a reliable pro-Putin talking head who repeatedly spread disinformation about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

In my latest Substack piece, I explain why his white nationalism was so useful for Russian propaganda. #ukrainianview

This is pretty much what I think of the entirety of the right-wing media cohort. They're all bullies and liars who contribute nothing of value whatsoever to any conversation. Some views are just wrong and don't deserve a platform.

I interviewed Maksym Butkevych, who spent 2 yrs in Russian captivity. Starved & beaten, he survived by teaching fellow POWs English. Some can now hold conversations. Even in hell, he created hope.

RACISM in Kyiv, on Khreschatyk Street. This woman called me a nigger repeatedly and told me to go back to Africa because this country is for Ukrainians—not niggers.

When I turned on the camera, she turned into a Karen.

Thing is, she’s not even Ukrainian. Prolly American. In fact, almost certain.

My most watched interview is with Yaroslav—a Brooklyn-raised, Ukrainian-born soldier who returned to fight for his homeland.

He’s not here for talk of concessions. To him, giving up land means giving up people. Watch the full interview: Terrell J Starr Official.

That low, buzzing roar you hear outside my apartment? That’s a Russian drone. They’re engineered to sound exactly like that—mechanical, guttural, impossible to ignore. It’s psychological warfare, built to rattle nerves and keep entire civilian populations in a constant state of fear.

Happy Independence Day to Ukraine!

I interviewed Maksym Butkevych, a brave human rights activist who spent over two years as a POW in Russian captivity. His fight for Ukraine's inclusive future moved me deeply.

Yaroslav left Brooklyn to fight for Ukraine—for love, heritage, and freedom. He says this war will be long, and no one fighting believes Trump’s peace push will work. Putin only respects strength. This is my most watched interview—watch it at Terrell J Starr Official on YouTube.

This is one of my more gripping interviews ever. A Ukrainian-born, Brooklyn-raised soldier returned to fight Russian occupiers—and he doesn’t mince words. He says Ukraine must play Trump and Putin’s games, but he came home to resist, not surrender. Watch and be blown away.
