Now that Putin's Russia controls the entire United States government, can we finally show a little bit of respect for the Baltic states?
They were right all along.
Their societies have held up well under pressure.

Trump says, Putin said he wants Ukraine to succeed. ALL WHILE HE MURDERS MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN UKRAINE.
That is the one of the most RIDICULOUS statements I've ever heard. Trump is a BUFFOON.

Ukrainian Xmas traditions continue with caroling & Vertep theater
Carolers carry a gilded star while singing blessings for hosts. Vertep is a unique puppet theater performing stories with sacred themes & folk humor. Today, the “living Vertep” is popular

Here is a ‘clean’ copy of the 60 Minutes Inside CECOT segment originating from the Global TV app.
This version is 15:04 minutes long, because it includes the full introduction for the (original) entire 60 minutes episode, the Inside CECOT segment starts at 1:25 :)

CBS pulled the 60 Minutes CECOT segment, but Canada aired it anyway.
The segment was streaming via Global TV and YouTube (since taken down). Having a VPN set to Canada helped. 🇨🇦
My take, there is no reason we shouldn’t see this. Most of it was known information, easily searchable.

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.

It’s not a parade. It’s not a TV special.
It’s a mailroom that answers every letter to Santa.

"but if I make bad art no one will praise me for it!" Okay so there's nothing you actually feel driven to create or express, you just have a sucking wound where your sense of self-worth should be, and you think getting compliments for something you didn't even make will heal it
I mean, things are tough all over. If rude criticism stops you from making art, you should probably not be making art.
