Putin's daughters sanctioned. I don't expect this to have much of an impact.

It’s hard to think of him as anything but an empty shell in a suit, really. He doesn’t seem like he’d be capable of anything remotely resembling normal human activity.

I don’t want to link it, but I saw a BBC video this morning of Ukrainian soldiers shooting Russian soldiers execution style. It was an upsetting but important reminder that people on either side are capable of atrocities and should be held accountable by the world.

He has two with his first wife. And then probably one with another woman and 3 with that gymnast but that's mostly rumors and no one really knows.

He’s so evil I wonder if his relationships have been consensual or not. While I am usually team ‘there is a shoe for every fit’ given the social reality of life in Russia I can easily see having a consensual relationship in the hope that having a child would secure some semblance of a comfortable life. At least until your baby daddy invades another country and all.

Does HE know he has kids? I can't even fathom him having an actual relationship, but I'm sure he obtains for plenty of booty. Excuse me while I go vomit thinking about it 🤮

What is was like in Chernobyl when it was under Russian control: www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61048256One of the engineers talks about stealing fuel from Russian soldiers to keep the generators going.

Do not, Do Not, DO NOT watch the video posted identifying a Russian soldier as a baby-rapist. Seriously, don't.

I'm very sad about Ukraine zoo situation. I heard about this on This American Life the other day and cried. I didn’t think about large zoo animals and how they would starve and die if all the zookeepers evacuated. And how brave they are for staying. They have to sedate the elephants because they are so agitated (sensitive animals with large ears that can hear bombs from far away.) Apparently the crocodiles and alligators are least affected.

lizblueThey were talking about having to euthanize all the predator animals especially the big cats. If their fencing is damaged they can't have big predators running around eating people.

It’s too bad they can’t use the predator cats to attack the Russian convoys.
IMAGINE.
Fuck man. I really feel like the entire world has just left the Ukrainians to die.

We didn't even talk about the train bombing. Russia bombed a train station with so, so many people trying to evacuate. Mostly women and children. There were 50 dead after it happened yesterday (?) and over 130 injured. Counts for both expected to climb.
I feel broken for them.
It truly does feel like we're just leaving them to flounder and die at the hands of Putin. I just don't understand how much more of this we're expected to just watch from afar. Those poor people.

And those no way that Putin stops there is we don't actually stop him. I'm urging my reps to do what they can, but unless we can convince NATO as a whole to go in, we're stuck with "volunteers" to help them fight. Fucking Russia for straight up murdering everything in their path.

We'd be in and out and shit would be over. *I know that's not how it really works, but obviously Putin can't win over NATO. We could end this. But we won't.
