Сильне рішення Держдепу США – дозволити Україні купити перехоплювачі для «петріотів» проти російської балістики. П’ятсот перехоплювачів PAC-3 – це суттєво, і вже скоро – цією зимою – це МІГ БИ бути дуже ефективний оборонний пакет. Проте визначено, що постачання може початись ТІЛЬКИ ЗА КІЛЬКА РОКІВ. Просимо Американських партнерів знайти рішення саме тоді, коли є реальна небезпека і реальна потреба у застосуванні PAC-3. Зараз кожного дня росіяни бʼють по нашій енергетиці. Тільки за останні два тижні жовтня було вже більше 30 російських ударів по дуже вагомих частинах нашої енергомережі. Саме зараз, ще напередодні зими, Путін почав реалізовувати свою ударну операцію проти життєзабезпечення наших міст та громад. Мішені – електрика, опалення, водопостачання, мости та загалом життя у містах. Ми дійсно просили наших Американських партнерів надати Україні зимовий пакет підтримки з розрахунку 100 перехоплювачів для «петріотів» на місяць. П’ятисот ракет вистачило б закрити наше небо найближчими місяцями – саме тоді, коли так важливо, щоб Україна була в сильній позиції на перемовинах і щоб у Росії НЕ вийшло зламати життя в українських містах і громадах. Сполучені Штати, європейські партнери та інші партнери у світі мають на складах достатні запаси перехоплювачів PAC-3. Надання їх Україні саме зараз, зимою 2026–2027 років, і ПОТІМ відновлення арсеналів партнерів вже НАСТУПНИМИ РОКАМИ завдяки цьому законтрактованому й оплаченому Україною та партнерами виробництву – це був би правильний шлях, і це цілком реально. Ми вдячні Президенту Трампу. Важливо, що ми говорили про перехоплювачі PAC-3 нещодавно з держсекретарем Марко Рубіо. Україна вдячна Держдепартаменту США та загалом Адміністрації США за дозвіл. Але ми просимо ухвалити рішення, які можуть гарантувати захист життя не післязавтра чи ще колись пізніше, а саме тоді, коли є загроза, – коли Росія вбиває і руйнує. Дякую усім, хто з Україною!

A strong decision by the U.S. State Department – authorizing Ukraine’s purchase of Patriot interceptors to counter Russian ballistic missiles. Five hundred PAC-3 interceptors is a substantial number, and very soon – this winter – they COULD make for a highly effective defense package. However, it has been stipulated that deliveries may begin ONLY IN A FEW YEARS. We are asking our American partners to find a solution for the time when there is a real danger and a real need to use PAC-3 interceptors. Right now, the Russians are attacking our energy infrastructure every single day. In just these past two weeks of October, there have already been more than 30 Russian strikes on critical parts of our power grid. It is right now, even before the beginning of winter, that Putin has started carrying out his operation to attack the systems that sustain life in our cities and communities. The targets are electricity, heating, water supplies, bridges, and life in our cities in general. We did ask our American partners to provide Ukraine with a winter support package – at a rate of 100 Patriot interceptors per month. Five hundred missiles would be enough to protect our skies over the coming months – precisely when it is so important for Ukraine to be in a strong position in negotiations and for Russia NOT to succeed in breaking life in Ukrainian cities and communities. The United States, our European partners, and other partners around the world have sufficient stocks of PAC-3 interceptors in their warehouses. Providing them to Ukraine right now – in the winter of 2026–2027 – and replenishing our partners’ arsenals LATER, in THE FOLLOWING YEARS, through this production already contracted and paid for by Ukraine and our partners would be the right approach. And it is entirely feasible. We are grateful to President Trump. Importantly, we recently discussed PAC-3 interceptors with Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Ukraine is grateful to the U.S. State Department and the U.S. Administration overall for granting this authorization. But we are asking for decisions that can guarantee the protection of lives not the day after tomorrow or sometime later, but at the very moment the threat is there – when Russia is killing and destroying. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine! state.gov/releases/bureau-of…

The Kremlin has spent years courting Donald Trump. Now they're seeing the payoff. The United States of America is now helping Putin in his war against Ukraine. I find that tragic.

For me as a Ukrainian , this looks sickening : this is Trump and Melania giving candy to kids wearing Russian costumes with girl wearing similar to Russian tradition clothes and boy wearing MILITARY UNIFORM . With SOVIET (!) style cap WHILE Russia bombs my people . Wow

On this day in 1942, three men risked their lives in an extraordinary act of courage that would help change the course of the Second World War. 🇬🇧 On 30 October 1942, Lieutenant Anthony Fasson, Able Seaman Colin Grazier and 16-year-old Canteen Assistant Tommy Brown boarded a sinking German U-boat, U-559, to recover vital Enigma codebooks. Their actions came at a great cost. Fasson, aged 29, and Grazier, aged just 22, lost their lives when the submarine sank. Brown survived, but tragically died two years later. The documents they recovered proved invaluable to the codebreakers at Bletchley Park, helping them decipher German naval communications and enabling Allied convoys to avoid enemy submarines in the Atlantic. For decades, their remarkable story remained largely unknown due to wartime secrecy. Today, 84 years on, we remember Anthony Fasson, Colin Grazier and Tommy Brown. Three young men whose courage and sacrifice made a lasting difference, and whose contribution to history deserves to be remembered. We will remember them. 🌺

This remains one of the most remarkable stories of World War II. The war in Europe against Nazi Germany could have unfolded very differently were it not for the actions of these men - who purchased the vital enemy codebooks with their lives.

I am fundraising both because I have to and I think the work is important. Financially crushed, and can't even get an interview right now, so until I can find full time work I will keep fundraising, offering assistance and doing whatever I can to stay afloat while raising awareness and advocating for change. My vocal nature has put up hurdles to employment but I think if I keep pushing forward with positive goals, something is bound to give and the tide will turn. It’s been a rough few months, but we need awareness, and more voices not less. If you’d like to support my efforts and the work that I’m doing to help others, please do so, even a share goes a long way. gofund.me/185171594 PayPal: [email protected] DM for any Questions or Advocacy Assistance requests. @pearsonmarlys @solargyaru @lyallstodmorden @artemisbsg @konradross @ExpatRepeat @andreadona60 @greennomad61 @boyntonesque @dieJanki @katznm @alexcurran95 @kristanomonomon @donski1 @marianwert @justinegswaab @purplediscomove @nancy_sweetland @croquetknob @jackdanielle @ginrickeylime @nightsky56 @nyaarider @mostly_sleepy @lulu16belle @PacificGirl2021 @literaturminze @deerinthemoon @the_drummer71 @jen_sacks @mdcn2u @stillmask @fraeuleinsophie @kokkelivekkuli1 @tinamorsi @hiryu_g @jp30567 @ca_dnns @geekerella @LettersfromTim @cynthiaelise61 @pammcmil @AlisonAdam99 @booksyjojo @mrdphd @kstn27

Trump screamed at a reporter, called him a “sick guy” and said he looks “like hell” after he asked an innocuous question about the President's travel. This is not normal behavior. The American people are FED UP with Trump‘s narcissism, incompetence and greed. ENOUGH.

Positive thoughts welcome for sweet Dolly. This is what can happen when you don’t spay your pets. Dolly made it through surgery and is in recovery. Without surgery they likely would’ve burst open soon. She could still be hospice as these are most likely malignant (pending biopsy). Our biggest hope is it didn’t spread & she has some good time left to be loved ♥️.

Russian war criminal Lavrov just landed in Atlanta, US 🇷🇺🇺🇸 We are now welcoming international terrorists and a war criminals in this country. Americans should remember that when voting, Trump & Co is working with terrorists.

LADY IS STILL FIGHTING, AND SHE NEEDS US! 🐾 It was shocking and heartbreaking to see our previous post removed when we were simply trying to reach more people who could help save Lady’s life. But what matters most is that Lady is alive, receiving treatment, and still fighting.

One more Patrick Stewart photo. This one with me on the set of #startrekpicard I was embarrassed to ask him for a photo — just felt like I was fanboying (which I was!). But he was so accommodating and happy to take this. He also signed an 8X10 for my sister. What a gentleman.

I took this photo of Patrick Stewart on his 81st Birthday on the set of one of my episodes of STAR TREK: PICARD. We were singing Happy Birthday here — and he was so genuinely touched by the gesture from the crew. He couldn’t have been a kinder man. Godspeed, Captain. RIP

How do you rescue an elephant calf from a septic tank? That's the conundrum our teams faced in Tsavo recently. Keepers raced to the scene alongside the SWT/KWS Tsavo Mobile Vet Unit. Together, they devised a plan to save the trapped calf: fill the tank with water, float her to the surface, and then pull her safely onto solid ground. It was the moment her mother had been waiting for. The herd had remained nearby throughout the ordeal, visibly distressed but clearly not ready to give up hope. The reunion at the end speaks for itself – turn up the sound to hear the trumpets of joy. Read the full rescue story: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/n…
