The root cause of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is Putin.
Putin launched his full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 without being provoked and without any threat to Russia from Ukraine or NATO.

This is not a scene from a movie.
A father in agony…his 15 year old daughter was just killed by Russia as she was standing with a friend on a sidewalk…her 15 year old friend was also killed.
I am begging again…please talk to God about what is happening here in Ukraine. In your churches, in your families…please.
If you know any US Congressmen or Senators, if you know someone with access to the President or to Secretary of State Rubio, or Secretary of Defense Hegseth—please demand that Patriot missiles that have already been paid for, be released to Ukraine.
These Patriot systems save lives…
Please also implore those in power to rescind the recent lifting of sanctions on Russian petroleum products. Buying Russian products—especially diesel, finances the war machine that is guilty of slaughtering and maiming so many absolutely innocent people—that deserve none of these atrocities…

Silicosis is a deadly, incurable lung disease, and it’s killing workers who cut and install stone countertops. These are folks just trying to put food on the table.
And what is unelected Ashley Moody doing about it? Trying to make a new law to protect the manufacturers from lawsuits. Not the workers. The manufacturers responsible for the danger.
She did say she works for the bosses and here's your proof.
We are not the same. I will fight to protect workers and scamming Moody won’t.

Amplify Ukrainian voices.
Tired of me saying it? Мені байдуже.
Our families have lost loved ones, homes, everything. So many can’t go home. We go to work checking our phones to see who’s still alive.
Our people’s genocide should never be anyone’s opportunity. Yet the opportunists have been swarming since day one. Like black flies in Muskoka.

We just learned more about Trump’s Venezuela oil deal, and here’s everything you need to know:
1. This deal is structured to hide the identities of people who stand to profit from it.
You don’t hide that unless you have a reason to. And the man whose firm Trump just bought a 35% stake in? Alejandro Betancourt, a Venezuelan billionaire who has faced several money-laundering investigations around the world.
2. Don’t expect cheaper gas anytime soon.
Experts have been telling us for MONTHS that oil production in Venezuela isn’t going to lower U.S. gas prices anytime soon. Betancourt’s company is able to deliver as much oil in a year as the U.S. uses in a few days. Anyone promising this deal will bring down prices at the pump is selling you lies.
3. If there’s a legal fight over this agreement, it has to go through a Texas court that Trump’s DOJ has repeatedly turned to for favorable rulings.
4. This deal creates a board designed to be shielded from oversight and accountability. Trump’s own Treasury Secretary wasn’t able to give Congress basic answers or audits when he testified about Venezuela just last month. But we should blindly trust them now?
So let’s recap: Americans aren’t going to feel relief at the pump. The identity of the people involved is conveniently hidden from us. And legal disputes go to a specific court that disproportionately rules in Trump’s favor.
Whatever you think American foreign policy towards Venezuela should be, Congress and the public deserve to know who’s involved and where the money is going.

Have you ever imagined stepping into a painting?
The aqueduct you see here is part of the old Medici Aqueduct in Paris, built in the early 1600s to bring water to the Luxembourg Palace.
By the 19th century it had become a landmark and artists loved to frame distant estates and gardens through its arches.

When politicians convince you that a tiny minority is a greater threat than poverty, homelessness, and unaffordable healthcare, you’re not witnessing leadership. You’re witnessing manipulation.

Russians in Russia think Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are a joke. Russians make memes about them visiting Moscow just to have a good time because they are not actually accomplishing anything to end the war.

Russia has spent years trapping Ukrainians under occupation, killing civilians, abducting people, and subjecting them to forced displacement and filtration.
Do you understand what this feels like to us?
We feel betrayed. Completely abandoned.
Ukrainians who want to return to free Ukraine may now be forced to travel through Russia or occupied Crimea instead of being allowed to cross directly to Ukrainian-controlled territory.
And we’re supposed to celebrate this as a humanitarian success?
Our people are not bargaining chips. Their lives are not props for anyone’s publicity campaign.
We have already paid for this war with our lives, our homes, and our future.
Shame. Shame. Shame.
If November 3 is going to be used for political publicity, remember the Ukrainians who are still trapped under Russian occupation.
Their freedom must come before anyone’s PR.
