Zelenskyy simply and accurately explains why giving up the Donbas won’t end the war: "Putin says he wants the Donbas, but why, at the start of the full-scale invasion, was he trying to occupy Kyiv? Is that the east of our country? Is that the Donbas? No, that’s the capital.

R.I.P. Ann Hornaday of the Washington Post, the warmest and friendliest film critic I ever knew. We used to cross paths at the Middleburg FF, where she was a tremendously welcoming presence. She was at work on a book about the making of All the President’s Men. We need it now more than ever.

I'm overwhelmed by all the support you gave me over the past couple of days! Thank you very much, wonderful people, you are amazing! 🫂 ​I hope our armed forces will double down on taking out Russian oil refineries. They can't sell what they don't have.

Samara oil pipeline hub is on fire in russia. Notice how it’s not an apartment building, kindergarten, school, or hospital like when russia attacks Ukraine, but the aggressor’s economy, attacked to limit the aggressor’s ability to wage war, not to murder kids in their beds.

Russian Tu-95MS strategic bomber has crashed in Russia's Amur region, reportedly its crew died. Russia uses these aircraft to launch missile strikes against Ukraine constantly. Rest in piss, murderers 💥👋

This is Ilya Honcharov. He was only 14 years old. Russia killed him in Vyshhorod, Kyiv Region on September 30 🕯💔 ​Ilya’s family had moved to the Kyiv region from Sumy to escape relentless bombings, only for a Russian missile to strike the building where they lived.

I had to put my recipes up early because tomorrow I am going out of town for more medical tests. I was in the hospital last weekend but they can’t find out what’s going on. Zero appetite but having abdomen issues. The joys of aging.

How much I would love to have a normal night's sleep again, instead of staring at the ceiling and thinking about how russia struck a school today during the day, and an animal shelter at night, where poor dogs and cats had no chance of escaping their cages. How a private house in Kyiv is

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

Newsom: "He's not screwing around. He wasn't screwing around when he called Greg Abbott for 5 seats, said he was entitled to 5 seats. Why does he do that? Because he knows he's going to lose the election unless he rigs the election before one vote is cast. That is what we're up against."

No, Donald didn't bring down gas prices. No, Donald didn't release the Epstein files. No, Donald didn't stop murdering fishermen in the Caribbean. No, Donald didn't win his war with Iran. But Donald *did* manage to dye his hair the color of a hardwood door. Are you—finally—happy, America?

I think it's worth noting that nothing is being done now. Johnson has kept congress home for most of the year over the Epstien files. The two year average is 284 stand alone bills passed. This congress has passed 38....they hold all 3 branches. These are not serious people.

Gloria Steinem has passed away. Long ago, my parents used to force me to go to church each Sunday. One time the pastor made a comment about "people who were destroying America, like Carl Sagan and Gloria Steinem." I liked Carl Sagan. Gloria Steinem was new to me. I took it as a recommendation.

As we elders, our daughters, and our granddaughters continue the fight for power, equality, and respect, we hold you in our hearts with love and gratitude. Rest in peace and power, Gloria Steinem. 🤍

AMANPOUR: Zelenskyy has said that Russian airspace will be effectively closing. Putin called that "state terrorism." 🇨🇿 PRESIDENT PAVEL: Strange to hear talks about "state terrorism" from a man who directly orders to commit state terrorism on other countries, including my own.
