War Day 335: Fighting tyranny, with songs, jokes, and tanks… my report from #Ukraine given every weekday since February on Chicago’s @WGNRadio … 🧵

#SuzanneVega made a haunting song about #Mariupol. Some people scoff at celebrity tributes to Ukraine but here is why it matters to Ukrainians:

What is going on in #Zaporizhzhia? … especially in #Hulyaipole (a village with a lovely name unless you mispronounce it, in which case it sounds like a common Ukrainian word for Putin these days)

Echoing @BorisJohnson : if you want victory for freedom, if you want to reduce the cost of Russia’s war, send weapons (not just old shit) now, and Ukrainians will get it done

About Nestor #Makhno and Ukraine’s gentle #anarchy: independent of government, dependent on the people around you. Like the American dream described by #tocqueville

@WGNRadio ‘s Bob Sirott on his father’s Ukrainian roots…

And some Odesa humor: what do you do when there is no electricity, no light? “Rotate the planet manually” 🤣💀
