May "Victory Day" celebration has been canceled in Crimea.... which seems quite appropriate because this war is not a victory by any means for the ruskies. This is coming straight from the Pravda so you know it's real news!

Good that Senate is staying in session.

“Dems, once again, will be the adults in the room, and I’m so glad Republicans finally realize the gravity of the situation and the urgency with which we must act.

But you don’t get an award around here for doing your damn job.”

In one of Moscow's schools, a girl was beaten in front of her class while classmates shouted “Russia for Russians.”

During the beating, she was called a “hachiha" [derogatory term for non-slavic people]. The operator called the final blow to the kidney "a great finish". pic.twitter.com/UHmNY3YSTu
