Kyiv.
Today, near the National Opera of Ukraine.

I do my best to show you a beautiful country breathing behind the bars of war.

Before they were arrested- Vets are demanding an end to the war on Iran at the Cannon Building in Washington, D.C.

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold children for sex without rich perverts buying them for sex. I feel this needs to be emphasized much more than it is.

Kyiv met me with warmer weather
and a warning of a possible attack.

Home sweet home.

Releasing the Epstein files would certainly freaking help.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress beforehand, or our allies, or coherently explain to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

Greetings from Kyiv.

I rarely write at this time.

A russian drone hit a residential building in Odesa at night.

Three people were killed.
A mother and her 2-year-old were among them.

People may still be under the rubble.

A fisherman and the Dnipro River today.

I collect these moments
to show you that life goes on,
that my eyes still see the beauty.

The war hasn’t taken that away.

Oh, honey . . . just because you played dress-up at a fake "military academy" that your parents sent you to because you were such an unmanageable, obnoxious teenager doesn't mean you were in the miliary. You had that duty, but lied to get out of it.

Greetings from Kyiv
and the Dnipro River.
Winter leftovers were spotted today.

I love coming to this spot in any season
and filling my eyes with beauty.

Kyiv.
Late evening.
Air defence is shooting down drones.
I say it like,
“The weather is fine outside, just cloudy.”

That’s what four years have done to us.

Protect peace.
Don’t let war become normal.

the fact the president of the united states is even thinking about asserting emergency powers to disrupt an election - just a few years after he incited an armed coup attempt - should be the top issue. but the media mostly shrugs and the opposition doesnt focus on it.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

Today marks 14 years since 17-year-old, unarmed Trayvon Martin was shot and killed while walking home.

14 years later, we’re still demanding a country where our children can walk home in peace — without being treated like a threat.

Greetings from Kyiv

Today is the Day of the Heavenly Hundred Heroes.
It honors protesters killed during the Revolution of Dignity in 2014, when Ukrainians rose against corruption, police violence, and turning away from Europe.

Their portraits are displayed on Mykhailivska Square. I was there today

Greetings from Kyiv.
I paid a visit to the mighty Dnipro.
The ice is melting slowly.
Fishermen are still there, among the last patches of white.

Windy today.

Kyiv.
Sunday evening.
russia is attacking us with ballistic missiles for the second time today.

I just wonder if there’s anything left in our energy infrastructure that hasn’t been destroyed yet.

Kyiv.
After midnight.
Electricity is back for a short, dear while.
I’ve published new excerpts from my diary.
Many of you got them by email –

Kyiv.
We were warned of a possible attack tonight.
Me?
Had a warcoffee, made dinner, and charged everything (we had 2.5 hours of power).
Feeling nothing.

We’ll survive everything. I know.

Walz demands DHS stop detaining Minnesota children In a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Walz demanded details about how many Minnesota kids are in detention facilities.

They’re taking children from Minnesota and locking them up like criminals in detention camps in Texas.

For the love of God, send our kids home and bring an end to this nightmare.

Drones are attacking Kyiv.
Explosions echo in the severe frost.
And I wonder how much heat, electricity, or water will be left by morning.

The morning will come,
with or without us.

Greetings from Kyiv.
It’s cold outside.
It’s cold inside.
But we plan to make it through this winter.

Wishing you a gentle week wherever you are.

What do you think it's like in ICE detention while pregnant?

A LIVING NIGHTMARE!

Foul water!
Inedible food!
No medical attention!

ICE is ignoring DHS policy & detaining pregnant women.

Call your Senators NOW and tell them no funding the government until there's accountability!

The fact that russia hasn’t attacked our energy facilities for a day doesn’t mean we have electricity or normal heating.

Kyiv.
No power, almost no heat at home.
It’s already -10 °C outside and getting colder.
russia has damaged our energy system so badly that one quiet day won’t fix anything.
