In the foggy hour before dawn
We will leave the sleeping city,
And we will go along the cherished path
To those lakes on the plain,
Where the sunsets are cherry-colored
Are stupefyingly beautiful
Here no one will be superfluous.
You will learn that it is possible
Here not to think about separation,
And not to shudder anxiously,
And not to suffer from boredom,
And not to remember about retribution,

Solidarity Collectives is a group of Ukrainian anarchists that built on anti-authoritarian anti-colonial ideas actively resist imperialist aggression, while providing support to the fighters at the front and helping those affected by the #Russian invasion since 2022.
These two lines of work outlined the core of Solidarity Collectives’ activities, which have stayed firm to this day. Consistency in cooperation brings its fruits: it made it possible to add animal aid to the humanitarian working group agenda, supplying vegan rations to fighters and redistributing new volunteers to the brigades closer aligned with their beliefs.
In the fourth year of the full-scale invasion, even among the comrades internationally, there are still many questions mingling, from the absurd and short-sighted to legitimate and insightful for the movement. Why do anarchists join the army? Can it still be consistent with the anti-authoritarian beliefs? Is Ukraine still living under the terror of Russian imperialist attacks? And can occupation be called “a peace agreement”?
An activist from the Solidarity Collective and ABC Kyiv ( the collective supporting political prisoners and people facing repressions), who was working on support for Russian and Belarusian refugees (in person) and an anti-authoritarian fighter from Ukraine (online) will share on the first-hand experience about their struggle against colonial imperialist policies and invasion, their work to support fighters and bringing humanitarian aid to the areas near the front line.
You'll have the chance to buy merchandise and make donations to support anti-authoritarian fighters in Ukraine.
#MarkethingMonday Book trailer! Haven't edited anything for a while and I'd forgotten how much fun it is.
I've uploaded closed captions and hopefully will have an AD version as well but I need to talk to the AD folk at work to make sure I've done it properly.
So, anyone fancy some hedgehog shifter fiction? Full of colourful characters and sarcastic remarks?
Appreciate any shares.

The attacks have gone up, not down. One of the biggest miscalculations #Putin has made is to play Trump. And you just watch in the coming days and weeks. There's going to be a massive effort to get #Putin to the table.
And to those who are helping him, #China, buying cheap #Russian oil and having no accountability, those days are about over.

#Ukraine’s Air Force released #video showing its German-made #Skynex air defense system successfully destroying #Russian #drones
Cutting-edge weapon, manufactured by #German firm #Rheinmetall, effectively #intercepts drones — including Iranian-made #Shaheds and their Russian equivalents — at relatively low cost. Ukraine has received at least two Skynex #AirDefense systems in military aid packages from #Germany.

#Euromaidan activist #Andrei_Kolomets returned to #Ukraine after 10 years of illegal imprisonment in #Russia - Foreign Ministry
The speaker of the Foreign Ministry of #Ukraine #Georgy_Tikhiy said that #Andrei_Kolomiyets was returning transit through #Georgia and #Moldova and today crossed the #Ukrainian_Moldavian border.
Recall that in 2015, #Andrei_Kolomiyets was detained by #Russian security forces in #Kabardino_Balkaria supposedly for drug storage.
Thanks to #benshapiro
for giving me space to report today from #Kyiv, #Ukraine, after hellish, horrible sleepless night of #Russian attacks with #missiles and Iranian drones, one of the worst nights of this war for many 
Apropos of nothing in particular, today’s first ‘Did you know…’ article on @wikipedia was about Ivan I of #Moscow. He was known as ‘Kalita’, which is ‘money bag’ in #Russian. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_I_of_Moscow
From the article: “As the grand prince, Ivan was able to collect tribute from other Russian princes, allowing him to use the funds he acquired to develop Moscow.”
Remind you of anyone?

The #UN attributed the spike to massive #Russian missile and drone strikes on cities and towns near the front line.
Since the start of the full-scale invasion, the #UN has recorded:
13,580 civilians killed, including 716 children34,115 injuries, including 2,173 children

The price the world will pay for this will be huge.
Aren't Americans embarrassed to have a president that is merely the whore of a #Russian dictator?
Diplomatic means in Russia-Ukraine war‘exhausted
Comments come as recent #Russian-Ukrainian #PeaceTalks failed to reach any progress in ending the #hostilities
“When a #criminal regime openly questions another country’s right to exist with military force and sets out to destroy the political order of freedom on the entire #European continent, the federal government I lead will do everything in its power to prevent this,” Merz said

Attention, #Germany!
#Russian propagandist #Solovyev threatens that #Russian soldiers will march into #Berlin again and will not leave. Only this time, he says, there will be a "nuclear wasteland" instead of a city.
