Good news. In the coming weeks, Ukraine is set to receive the first batch of projectiles as part of the Czech initiative to purchase 800,000 artillery shells, Jan Jires, Deputy Minister of Defense of the Czech Republic said to Bloomberg.

Russia-Ukraine War: Ukraine to Get 155mm Artillery Shells in New Initiative

Ukraineโ€™s military is set to receive the first of what may be hundreds of thousands of 155mm artillery shells as part of an international effort to forage foreign stockpiles as US efforts to send more aid remain hung up in Congress.

I often think about how life changed during the war.

We still do the same things, but with a chance that my home will be destroyed by a russian rocket.

Two of my classmates were killed in battle.

Most of my money goes to volunteers who are helping with everything. (btw, do not donate to the Red Cross, they're a scam).

One Kyiv beauty store shared a picture a week ago, and i find it worth sharing.

Keep your eyes to the sky! There's a good chance that a bright new star will appear in the constellation Corona Borealis over the next six months.

This is a rare event: a recurring nova that last erupted 80 years ago. (I've simulated the view so you can see what to expect.)

It does wear a body down, being constantly at the mercy of so many motherfuckers.

Encouraging:

One House Republican says they'll sign onto Rep Fitzpatrick's Ukraine aid discharge petition "if [there's] no other progress."

Fitzpatrick says the GOP support is "more than you think." A pro-UA HSE R is preparing an effort to go around Speaker Johnson to get aid to UA passed.

"We have to get something done," said Rep Fitzpatrick, co-chair of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, who's leading the push. "It's existential, it's time sensitive-."

I am old enough to remember when the popular slogan was "We will push the Jews into the sea!" in 1948 & 1967.

Now they have updated their slogan for a new generation.

Holy crap - an enormous X Class flare has occurred on our side of the sun. This could be big news. Watch out for intense auroras and possible power outages if a solar storm is confirmed.

2 years ago, MANY people saw this tweet & thought: 1) we've never had democracy; or 2) let's try something different.

Over 3 million people saw this tweet.

In that spirit, given what was said at CPAC today, on tomorrow's live webcast:

What Do We Lose When We Lose Democracy?

So many people don't know what democracy is.
And we desperately NEED to know.

Join us.

We are calling out the #TrumpStooges in Congress as Putin-owned #traitors who support overthrow of our government.

#MagaMike and republicans' open fealty to Putin, a hostile foreign intelligence agent, who is one of the most infamous cold-blooded killers in human history & wanted war criminal.

Mike Johnson & republicans are blocking a bill that would supply ammunition to #Ukrainian soldiers, despite the widespread support in Congress and support of the American people.
