Good luck finding anyone at Goebbels News that has a moral compass....
Jennifer Griffin seems to have one. She's been doing some serious fact checking on things the anchors are saying and even some of the guests. I'm surprised she's still employed (at least she was last I heard....)

The inevitable Hitler meme was perfect!
So did I! My father had several Soviet Army Chorus albums, and also several Don Cossack albums. Played them endlessly.

She kicks ass, I'm a fan. Although I too, am surprised she still has a job there.

She's employed there to get the audience mad. then she gets off the screen and the rest of the discussion "Destroys" her. That's the way that Fox has been doing things since 2000. That's what gets the dopamine rush of the audience and keeps them addicted. They get made mad and then they get to watch the 'Lib' get "destroyed." That's how they keep the audience hooked.

Been seeing this reported all day, but I wasn't sure if it was true so I refraining from posting. Looks like it is true though. The Russians targeted a theater serving as a bomb shelter for hundreds of civilians, killing who knows how many. Despicable. What's past despicable? Like, WAY past?

It was labeled "children."

The word "children" had been written in Russian on the pavement outside the building, clearly visible from the sky.

It didn't mean anything to them.

There is a special place in hell for these Russian soldiers, I hope they occupy it soon.
'Why? Why? Why?' Ukraine's Mariupol descends into despair
Horrible article, just horrible. I linked a quote from it earlier, but just got around to reading the full thing. Each paragraph builds on the last and makes it that much worse. There's just dead children, mass graves, no food, no water, and nowhere to go. I weep.

No details but hopefully we'll eventually find out how it went down.

update: Marketwatch says it was a prisoner swap.

That was really moving. Thank you for sharing it. I never quite know what to think of Arnold, but I appreciated his message after Jan 6, and I appreciate this message now. In these things, at least, he certainly seems to be trying to use his fame for good.

The Kyiv Independent @KyivIndependent
⚡️130 survivors saved so far from ruins of Mariupol Drama Theater, which Russians hit with massive bomb on March 16.

The theater was known to house hundreds of women and children. Its bomb shelter reportedly survived the attack. The rescue efforts continue.

The Russians wouldn’t say they are conscripts because there aren’t supposed to be any in that kind of action.

He claims he dressed up as Red Cross to get into Poland. If true, he may have created a war crime.

Raison, one of the things my mom most often quoted was Donne’s “Any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind.”

We are all connected, she would say. We are one. I feel this strongly today, absurdly connected to the people of Ukraine and the mothers of Russia.

It’s not cool to the freaks on the right to have these sentiments. You’ve bought into the Deep State or something if you do.

Yeah, screw that. I’m human. You are too. We have to witness this godawful genocide, and grieve for each one. It’s so hard, but they deserve it.
