⚡️ Ukrainian naval drones behind 'successful' strike on 2 Russian shadow fleet tankers, source says.
The operation targeted ships that, according to the source, could have transported nearly $70 million worth of oil and helped Moscow bypass international sanctions.

It’s not a bias. It’s a transaction. Tens of millions of Ukrainian lives and the remnants of American respectability in exchange for an increase in the private fortunes of a few people.
President Vladimir Putin of Russia on Thursday defended President Trump’s special envoy against accusations of pro-Kremlin bias.
Putin Defends Witkoff Against Accusations of Pro-Russia Bias
The Russian leader called the U.S. special envoy “an intelligent man” who is properly representing his country in peace negotiations.

I just dropped an open bowl of leftover homemade cranberry sauce on the kitchen floor and it took me 15 minutes to clean up that crime scene- floor, walls, ceiling, pantry. How's your day going?

The pie recipe said to strain the pureed raspberries and discard the seeds. I said fvck that! Mixed the seeds & juice with some chia and put that in the fridge. This morning here's my fiber bomb on an English muffin with peanut butter. *rawr*

My Slavic friends, get with the program. BW have known forever that Trump was a crook, that Putin is a bully & a thug. They don't idolize empty suits like Bernie. They've been on the right side for domestic issues, minority rights, & foreign policy. MAGA and DSA are throwing Ukraine to the wolves.
Follow the 92% and all will be better. When I was in spaces on X I was surrounded Black women. I listen to credible Black women voices and have Black women around me.
If a group of people see something in 92% out of 100% fashion? They know something the rest don't. Seek them out. It's that simple.

By getting Trump to endorse and push Russia's "peace plan," Steve Witkoff successfully took the sanctions pressure off Russia. Last week we were talking about Congress voting to sanction Russia and now we are not.

Chicago has always had a fascinating mix of European communities: Poles, Bohemians, Swedes, and the sizable community which gave Ukrainian Village its name. It was quite something running into this street protest demanding Trump abandon his apparent plan to sell out Ukraine & appease Putin.

2/5 Ukraine and Europe keep letting Trump negotiate with Russia. It makes no sense.
Europe funds Ukraine. Trump’s United States doesn’t. If we pay and they don’t, why are they the ones negotiating?
Their negotiators are far worse than ours, and they are compromised too

I learned at a binational government meeting that when Canadians "table" an issue, they put it on the agenda, whereas we in the US "table" it to set it aside. TBH the Canadian use makes more sense.

❗️The Telegraph published the full 24-point EU plan to end the war in Ukraine.
And honestly?
To me it finally sounds like a real plan.
Not capitulation. Not pressure on Ukraine to “give up”
Just an attempt to stop the bleeding before even more lives are lost.
We do need a ceasefire.
ASAP.

Russian peace proposal
Another horrible night in Ukraine with russia sending 486 "messengers of peace" in the form of ballistic and cruise missiles, and Shahed drones.
russia's vision of a "peace plan" is killing people in their beds — and why would they stop, if they bet on getting amnesty with the US Admin backing?
