A few days ago, something страшное and at the same time incredible happened in the Rivne region.
In Klesiv, near Sarny, a 10-year-old boy went missing.
He went out for a bike ride — and didn’t come home.
Dozens of people who quickly heard the news simply could not stay aside.
Everyone searched.
Police.
Border guards.
Rescuers.
Foresters.
And ordinary people who cared.
All around — vast forests.
And deep quarries where stone is mined.
Places dangerous even for an adult.
People were let off work so they could join the search.
In nearby villages, everyone was saying just one thing:
“Let him be found alive…”
They searched all night and all day.
All that time, in the cold and darkness,
the child was alone.
The boy was found in the evening.
With fractures.
But alive.
He was lying on a ledge in a deep quarry.
Another night there — and everything could have ended differently.
But the hardest part was still ahead.
It took an hour and a half
and dozens of people to get him out.
The slopes were steep.
The depth was dangerous.
Equipment couldn’t help.
So people did the only thing possible.
They formed a human chain.
Some passed the stretcher with the child from hand to hand.
Others held those who held the stretcher.
Everyone was holding someone.
And everyone trusted one another.
It was a living wall.
A wall of people who don’t let you fall.
A wall that holds.
A wall that saves.
This photo is about that moment.
About dozens of hands holding one life.
About how strength is not in one person, but in everyone together.
There are no strangers here.
There is only one goal — to save.
They got him out.
The child is now in the hospital.
And that’s what matters most.
This story is not only about rescue.
It is about us.
About the fact that Ukrainians know how to unite.
Not to wait.
Not to walk past.
Not to leave someone in trouble.
When needed — we stand together.
And we hold on.
Until the end.
We are the ones who do not let go.
We are Ukrainians! 🇺🇦

Russians drove up to Ukrainian Armed Forces positions… and simply surrendered.
Entire crews approached in tanks and BMPs right up to Ukrainian trenches, stopped, opened the hatches, and said: “Take the equipment, just don’t shoot.” Soldiers and officers came out with their hands raised; some even helped move the tanks onto Ukrainian positions.
Within a few hours, our fighters received dozens of operational Russian vehicles along with ammunition. The Russians were surrendering en masse—without a fight, without resistance, as if they were simply tired of the war.

Noem needs to be impeached. DONE! Bondi needs to be fired. DONE! Lutnick needs to resign. IT'S COMING! The Gabbard/Kushner whistleblower complaint needs to be properly disclosed and addressed. Maxwell needs to be returned to her prior facility. Cannon's ruling blocking Jack Smith's findings/files needs to be reversed on appeal. Kelly and Slotnick and the others need to make another video - especially now. Americans need to scream for tariff refunds. Bezos needs to sell the WaPo. Lindsey Graham needs a doctor or an intervention or something. ICE needs to continue to NOT be funded without massive overhaul. Dems need to better call out LIES. Trump's ridiculous budget request needs to be pushed back on by GOP officials. And SOMEONE, anyone who knows, domestic or other, needs to reveal more and start naming names.

We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in the history of the United States. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator. If we see this, we can stop it, overcome the movement that brought us to this point, and make a turn towards something better.

If you ever meet an Air Force PJ, buy them a drink.
They’re some of the bravest MFs you’ll ever meet.
They’ve been at this all day trying to find the WSO, despite taking fire every time they go out.

People ask me whether Trump believes his own lies. And I always explain - he knows he's lying, but it doesn't matter. Because he's his whole universe, so reality - in his mind - becomes what he says it is. He knows he is lying but convinces himself his lies are truth. So, there's no difference.
Having said that, here's my behaviorist take on Bondi:
Trump does not believe in the Rule of Law, and - as a walking talking id - he certainly does not believe that the Rule of Law applies to him. He also believes that his non-stop grievances are legitimate, because - as a walking talking id - he is all that matters. Here's the punch line - but you have to view it as Trump does:
He got persecuted, indicted, convicted, harassed, debanked, disgorged, fined, found liable, and he is very much aggrieved. That he committed fraud or crimes is irrelevant - again, he does not see a Rule of Law. He sees that he got massively hassled. And narcissistically battered.
But Bondi didn't cause that to happen to any of his enemies! And that's what he wanted to happen. And that's what he thought should have happened.
He also didn't want her testifying under oath on Epstein.

#BREAKING: Sen Whitehouse: “…today Donald Trump issued an executive order to the postmaster general and DHS, his DHS, ordering the postmaster general, who he appointed, to seize control of mail-in ballots and invent a method with DHS, for delivering mail-in ballots only to people Donald Trump’s DHS believes should receive mail-in ballots. Yes, you heard that correctly.”🤦♀️

A few questions…
Why don't the ballistics in the Charlie Kirk murder match?
Why did the Sheriff on the Kirk case resign?
Why was Charlie's security team giving hand signals seconds before his assassination?
Why was the crime scene immediately paved over?
Why was his body removed from the crime scene in a van, not an ambulance?
Why did the security team dive over the table to remove evidence?
Why did Erika Kirk immediately take over TP USA?
Did Erika ever work for Epstein?
How was she involved with Trump and beauty pageants?
Was she working with orphans in Romania?
Was her organization banned from Romania?
How did Charlie's mentor dies in a Pickleball accident?
Epstein?
Netanyahu?
Thoughts?
