because this was used as valid reasoning to genocide an entire group of people, force them to abandon their culture, and force them to assimilate. not to actually work to improve the lives of native folk
They would also amplify progressive Ukrainian voices and causes instead of arguing that 19-year-olds with fash tattoos are representative of all Ukrainians.

Russia is stealing children, putting them in forced adoptions with the aggressor, changing their names and making them Russian.
Today, it became known that the leader of the Just Russia-Patriots for Truth party, Sergei Mironov, and his wife adopted a child who was taken from Ukraine. 10-month-old Margarita Prokopenko was taken last year from an orphanage in the then-occupied Kherson to the territory of the Russian Federation. There, the child's name and place of birth were changed entirely. Now, the child is registered as Marina Mironova from the Moscow region.
This is the first documented case of the adoption of a #Ukrainian child by a Russian politician of this rank. Experts in international law qualify such actions as a war crime, which is considered genocide.
Officially, Margarita and two-year-old Ilya Vashchenko were taken to Moscow for "examination, determination of further treatment tactics and rehabilitation." @HromadskeUA wrote about this in July.
It is worth noting that Margarita's father died, and her mother was deprived of parental rights. However, the girl has other relatives with the right to take custody of the child. However, this did not prevent the Russians from #kidnapping the child and changing her personal data completely. Ilya's fate is currently unknown, but it is noted that he also held a new birth certificate.
Nothing is surprising about such news today. The #Russian authorities are pursuing a systemic genocidal policy against the Ukrainian nation, using the least protected category of the population - children from orphanages. And this story shows how much this policy is approved at the state level.
The international community should be aware of these facts; this is the only way to save our children.

Exactly this
The workers in Israel and Russia are the ones pulling the triggers and dropping the bombs on Palestinian and Ukrainian workers. National flags don't magically turn class enemies into comrades. Solidarity that stops at borders is just nationalism in a red hat

Happy International Inuit Day!
This day was first created by the Inuit Circumpolar Council in 2006.
It is a day that celebrates the Inuit, their culture and their history.

🚨🇨🇦 THIS IS NOT A THIRD-WORLD COUNTRY. THIS IS TORONTO, CANADA.
These are pictures of the Gardiner Expressway, right in the heart of Canada’s largest city.
Look at the concrete. The cracks. The deterioration. The patchwork.
Millions of Canadians travel on infrastructure like this every day.
We somehow find billions for international commitments, grand announcements, political pet projects and endless promises to build a better tomorrow.
But what about maintaining the country we already built?
Canada is a G7 nation. Toronto is its financial capital.
Yet ordinary Canadians are left looking at infrastructure that raises serious questions about maintenance and public priorities.
And the irony?
We pay income taxes. Property taxes. Sales taxes. Fuel taxes. And taxes on practically everything else.
HOW MUCH MORE MUST CANADIANS PAY BEFORE BASIC INFRASTRUCTURE BECOMES A PRIORITY?
A country doesn’t become prosperous by announcing billion-dollar projects while neglecting what previous generations built.
You can’t build the future if you can’t maintain the present.
Welcome to Canada. Where the announcements are always brand new, but the concrete tells a different story. 🇨🇦

The reason there are nazis in the ukranian military is the same reason why there were jihadists in the bosnian army and why hamas was created in palestine. Oppression breeds increasing radicalism as a response. If you want less nazis in ukraine, change their material conditions.

it’s also crazy how people realize this with the US or Israel or Korea or Japan with their media/soft power but somehow Russia’s hockey and figure skating and novels are innocent

I wrote on Anthony Santander's Islamophobic posts, lack of attention from the front office, and what that is like for deeply disappointed and hurt Muslim fans who love the Toronto Blue Jays.
