when foreigners casually drop ‘bombing of Kyiv, ’ these pics always come to mind. this is what #RussianColonialism did to Chechnya and Grozny when they tried to leave the empire in 2000. a war crime of horrific scale, but the rest of the world was like ‘meh’, so moscow continued

we lost all communication with the rest of the family in the occupation. last thing we heard is that russians forcefully “evacuate” kids and some women - read “kidnap and deport.” some hide their children in cellars. i have several niblings there.
russia must be stopped.

"It is often ‘Putin’s wars’, not Russian wars. It is often ‘Soviet terror,’ not Russian terror. It is often ‘post-Soviet,’ not post-occupation or post-colonial. The problem with these language shortcuts that they whitewash and minimize centuries of continuous #RussianColonialism and imperialism."

this is Cooper “Harris” Andrews.
he was an American leftist & anti-authoritarianism activist. he sacrificed his life defending the Bakhmut fortress of freedom in Ukraine.
“He was a person of action: didn’t scream into the void through his keyboard, he did real life” friends say
