20,000+ Ukrainian kids have been taken by Russia. These kids are being Russified, re-educated, given Russian papers, and adopted or permanently fostered by Russian families.
P.25 describes what we know is happening to these kids.
Please share. 🙏

I served during "don't ask, don't tell", but my son served with 2 trans air force intel officers that we're such assets to the team.
That a draft dodger is forcing out career service members like this is what's so pathetic. He didn't even have the guts to serve!

The move is the latest escalation by the Trump administration as it seeks to bar transgender people from joining the military and remove all who are currently serving.

So, after DOGE took a chainsaw to the NWS, they're looking to hire 450 people. While they claim that there was no effect from the cuts during the Texas flood, they quietly add back jobs.
A lot of MAGA are still wondering where their DOGE checks are.

Please pay attention to this war crime.
Ukrainian kids taken by Russia are "reeducated" and forbidden from speaking their native language. Adopting them to Russians will further the psychological damage to these innocents.

This isn't adoption. It's state-run child trafficking. And it's happening online.
Russia has launched a website with photos of abducted Ukrainian children. No names. Just faces, ages, eye color, health records. You can “browse” them. Like a catalog. Like products.

The abduction and Russification of 20K Ukrainian kids doesn't get talked about enough. These poor kids! Some are told their families don't want them, forced to speak only Russian in "re-education" camps, & having their names changed. Bring them home!

I don't understand why the issue of kidnapped Ukrainian children isn't talked about more in the US. If another country was stealing American children, that would be all MAGA would be talking about. Because they've fallen for Kremlin propaganda... crickets.
Sick. Look at the language used by Russia's state news agency RIA.

Russia preparing a list of stolen kids "IT WANTS" to hand back.

Lvova-Belova, like Putin, is an indicted war criminal.

Marion Bowman Jr. is scheduled to be put to death in SC tonight. All of the witnesses against him had good motivation to lie, and there was a lot of exculpatory evidence that the jury never heard. We're such a barbaric nation to put people to death, when life is an option.

This is disgusting! He abused "a female minor, younger than 12", and he "could see his federal child sex abuse charges waivered in tandem with the pardoning of his January 6 assault charges."

Well, whaddya know? I actually agree with Hegseth on something.
Hegseth: Typical Trump. All bluster, very low substance… he’s an armchair tough guy. This is a guy who said that John McCain is not a war hero yet he sought his own five military deferments
