I want to make this abundantly clear: There is NO reason Ukrainians should be suffering this genocidal hell. The free world has the power to help protect them. We are CHOOSING not to uphold international law and our obligations under it to Ukraine. So Ukrainians suffer and die.

Ice on the inside of the entry door to our Babusya’s apartment block in Kyiv. The temperature is -12 C outside, and Russia is continuing to attack the Ukrainian capital’s energy infrastructure with drones. The latest air raid ended about an hour ago.

The other day, I visited an exhibition that left me speechless. It shows women who lost their sons and husbands in the war. I’m sharing part of it with a poem that played during the video. I added English subtitles. For you. Please watch. And share. So others can see too.

Ukraine’s Day of Statehood is celebrated on 15 July—a holiday established in 2021 to coincide with the Christianization of Kyivan Rus by Prince Volodymyr the Great in 988. It reflects a millennium of Ukrainian state-building, from early medieval foundations to today’s modern nation.

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more. 📌 A stunning mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her face was unveiled in Roubaix, France, on July 3, 2025.

Hard to take seriously the red-white-and-blue rhetoric of freedom on a 4th of July where the US president has cut off aid to a democracy fighting for its independence against ferocious attack by a foreign tyrant.
