If you want to support Ukrainians, DO NOT donate to Red Cross. Can't speak about their work in other countries, but they're useless in Ukraine. The only trustworthy international organisation I can think of is World Central Kitchen.

Donate to World Central Kitchen

And it's even better to donate directly to Ukrainian organisations. Here are a few good legit places:

hospitallers.life - "Hospitallers", Ukrainian paramedics on the frontlines

savelife.in.ua - "Come Back Alive", assistance to the army

prytulafoundation.org - "Prytula Foundation", assistance to the army, humanitarian causes

starenki.com.ua - "Starenki", helping elderly people

everybodycan.com.ua - "Everybody Can", helping disabled children, elders and hospitals

uanimals.org - "UAnimals", saving animals

"The geographical span of Russian colonialism is such. Why? Even today if you look at the map you see Russia is the biggest country by territory on Earth. That didn't happen by handshakes, hugs, and brotherhood—that happened through the very brutal imperial conquest and there are so many stories that were erased, stories we never heard of."

—Maksym Eristavi, journalist and author of "Russian Colonialism 101"

Help Ukraine before it's not too late

Russians used chemical munitions against the Ukrainian Armed Forces 715 times in May.

This is 271 cases more than in April, according to the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Support Forces.

It is emphasized that the main means of delivering chemical munitions is the dropping of K-51 and RG-VO grenades from drones. At the same time, from February 2023 to May 24, 2698 uses of hazardous chemicals by the enemy were recorded in Ukraine.

Info from Ukraine NOW.

Don't be indifferent. Make Russia pay. Please hear our cry out to the world, keep spreading our voices, and donate to our army and combat medics (savelife.in.ua, prytulafoundation.org, Serhii Sternenko, hospitallers.life, ptahy.vidchui.org, and u24.gov.ua).

Fucking hell

Russians blew up the Kakhovka Dam and basically destroyed the entire hydroelectric power plant.

Some regions in southern Ukraine are being flooded right now, others are going to lose access to fresh water. Even after the war ends, it will take years to rebuild the destroyed structures, and it will take decades (and enormous amount of resources) to reverse the ecological damage. Some things are going to be irreversible.

This will change the face of Ukrainian south for decades to come.

I want those responsible for this ecocide to eat glass, shit glass, sweat glass

russia is making advances in the Kharkiv region which was already liberated from russian occupation back in 2022. Situation in the east of Ukraine is also dire. People are losing their lives and homes every day.

Please consider donating to Hospitallers, they're a volunteer organization of paramedics that work on the frontlines. Even 1$ is a good donation.

"The war is based on the principle that you don't exist. There is no Ukraine. There are no Ukrainians. There is no Ukrainian culture. There is only Russia, great Russian history, great Russian culture... The Russian idea is that everyone wants to be Russian. So, that turns out not to be true. Then how do you feel? Well you feel, 'I need to kill more and more people.' First, you think it's just an elite that's Ukrainian. Then you realize more people are Ukrainian. Then you realize there's an entire Ukrainian nation. And so the logic is, "Okay, I have to kill more and more people in order to get to those Ukrainians who want to be Russians. And you do that long enough that you realize there aren't many Ukrainians like that. And suddenly you find yourself in this completely genocidal position."

Yeah just to be clear - if you start reblogging posts or posting yourself about how the Russian psyops aren’t real and we’re stupid to believe they were, I’m unfollowing you. Don’t care who you are. That relationship is over now.

Mountains of actual evidence has been provided to show this did happen and continues to happen. I lived through it the first time, I watched it happen, I fell for the propaganda. The multiple posts I’ve seen saying it didn’t happen where their evidence is “just trust me bro tumblr is racist and awful and run by bigots” - that’s not gonna convince me of anything except that you are incredibly susceptible to propaganda, and you’re gonna put it on my dash where I don’t wanna see it.

Don't forget about Kharkiv

Russians hit a densely populated residential area in Kharkiv with multiple missile launchers: there are dead and wounded.

Oleg Sinegubov, the head of the OVA, writes that the occupiers slaughtered 2 people and wounded at least 18.

Mayor Igor Terekhov reports 4 arrivals.

"Kharkiv, 10 meters from me. In front of my eyes… They were aiming at the supermarket I had just left. Take care of yourself, friends!"

Hate can be reasonable. Especially in our case.

Don't be indifferent. Make Russia pay. Please hear our cry out to the world, keep spreading our voices, and donate to our army and combat medics (savelife.in.ua, prytulafoundation.org, Serhii Sternenko, hospitallers.life, ptahy.vidchui.org, and u24.gov.ua).

Video evidence alleges that the Kremlin has distributed special pens with ink that disappears for use in the weekend’s presidential elections, enabling Putin’s United Russia operatives to change votes to those endorsed by Moscow, independent sources reported.

The independent Russian news site Sirena was told by sources in Kursk and Rostov-on-Don who were setting up polling stations ready for the start of today’s presidential election that they were provided with pens to place in polling booths that “contain a secret.” The pens arrived in boxes sealed with the official emblem of Russia’s Central Election Commission.

The sources provided video evidence of how the ink from the pens could be made to disappear which Sirena posted on its Telegram channel. The ink used to mark the voters ballot paper seems normal but can be made to disappear when it is heated.

Blank ballot papers are considered invalid, but by erasing the original selection this would allow commission members to select a candidate of their choice after the polling station is closed – with no prizes for guessing for who that might be.

This is not the first time that this tactic has been noticed.
