Back at the nest, a video is circulating of a muskovite "soldier" cutting off the genitals of a Ukrainian POW with what appeared to be a utility knife. I won't link it, you'll be able to find it easily enough.

I'm so blinded by rage right not, my brain is not working properly. We're handing out the weapons Ukraine desperately needs 3-4 at a time like cookies to a well-behaved child while the fucking orcs are doing this.

I want them all to fucking burn. Every last one of them.

So is anyone else hearing that the two British and the one Moroccan POWs that Russia had sentenced to death were killed this morning? Apparently, some Russian Telegraph channel was saying this, but I've not seen it being reported anywhere.

@jgold Thank you so much for helping over at the nest. These past couple of weeks have been really wearing her down, and now this...fuck.

Again, I can't thank you enough.❤️

Anyone have any info on the three missiles that were fired at Odesa about 4 hours ago? I know one was shot down, but did the other two do anything?

Unless they changed the time again, the next J6 is Tues, July12 at 1pm eastern.

The next J6 hearing is next Tuesday, July 12.

My family came over to the States from Lymans'ke, about 40 miles west of Odesa, and I still have distant family there. I'm feeling a bit sick to my stomach right now.

Does anyone have a lead on what villages in Odesa oblast were just hit?

I have an honest-to-goodness question/thought experiment for ya'll.

Other than "the other team is worse", what has the Democratic party done for women, POC, and other marginalized groups for whom they claim to advocate? Why should I vote for them? What have they delivered?

And remember, in this thought experiment, "the other guy is worse" is not a valid reason.

So, this is the most heartbreaking thing I've seen in a long time.

A Ukrainian psychotherapist is talking about dealing with the war, and how, in order to survive, it may be necessary to INDUCE dissociation and possibly PTSD. He lists the "how too" in step-by-step format.

He (obviously) prefaces this with an admonition to NEVER do this in peacetime, and to seek help to undo the damage asap when it's finally safe.

We cannot forget about these people, ya'll.

So, they're re-doing the little forested country road in front of our house, and to make room, they had to cut town a bunch of mature pine, birch, and oak trees in front of our property.

We used to have privacy from the road and the nicest view...

I'll be in mourning for a while. 😭

"Biden would do well to remember the Powell Doctrine, formulated by the late secretary of state Colin L. Powell. He counseled against getting involved in “halfhearted half-wars” and argued that when the United States uses force, it should do so with overwhelming might to win. The same doctrine should apply to military assistance..."
