Day 73 of Ukraine resistance. Russians destroyed a museum to the great Ukrainian philosopher Skovoroda near Kharkiv. They are erasing Ukrainian culture, replacing Ukrainian signs with Russian in occupied territory, banning 🇺🇦books and language. Just as they did for centuries

Why has Russia not been declared a terrorist state?
Why is this genocidal regime – pure evil in the form of a state – still considered a peer in the family of nations?

A Canberra woman fell from a moving car and her life support was switched off. Her male partner has been charged. The man was out on bail and told not to go anywhere near the woman. He did. Now she's dead. Yet media are reporting this as a traffic incident, not as male violence.

Staggering stat from Crikey.
2/3rds of Australia's pandemic deaths happened this year: 4547 of 6786
Illustrates how the volume and intensity of media coverage of an issue can be completely at odds with the lived reality.

Russian war criminals have kidnapped 9 bus drivers working for "Help People," a Ukrainian volunteer group that provides food and medicine and assists in evacuations who were heading to Mariupol. Please bring attention to this

Russia launched a chemical attack on Mariupol on April 11.
Russia launched a chemical attack on Rubizhne on April 9.
When will it be enough? How much more does Ukraine have to take before its peer democracies act?

This would be a clear violation of Article II Section E of the Genocide Convention of 1948.

How can NATO remain an onlooker as the courageous Ukrainians defend themselves tooth and nail? Do these people have no morals or shame?

Mariupol siege and total annihilation of the city by Russians should have been a turning point. Bucha massacre should have definitely been a game changer. They were not. Will the use of chemical weapons by Russia be? How many more #RussianWarCrimes will the world tolerate?

At least 25 women and girls, as young as 14, were raped by Russians in one basement in Bucha. Nine of them are pregnant. Russian soldiers said “they would rape them to the point where they wouldn't want sexual contact with any man, to prevent them from having Ukrainian children."

Gen Hodges: "NATO needs to smash Russia, to break their backs in the next 3 weeks. Not by involving troops in Ukraine, but by providing enough weapons to Ukraine"
Fiona Court retweeted
To avert ‘new Buchas’, impose the mother of all sanctions: stop buying oil, gas, and coal from Russia. Stop financing Putin’s war machine. Russian economy — and its war — would stop in the matter of months. A few months of tightening your belts are worth thousands of saved lives.

#Russia is turning the right of veto into the right to kill. Russia must be suspended from UN SC and their veto must be annulled

Last night 93 civilians were killed as they tried to flee besieged town of Izium. Russian commander gave the order. Deliberate predetermined targeting of Ukrainians is genocide.

Now that we have seen evidence of mass graves in Ukraine, and pictures of the atrocities against civilians, We should demand @TuckerCarlson answer for his support of this war, as well as those Congressmen who have done the same. @GOPLeader should demand accountability
