Updates and events in the War in Ukraine 2025
Now here's an update that deserves a post. Footage of the complete destruction of a large column of russians 🔥🐝 On April 13, the enemy sent about twenty vehicles, five motorcycle groups, and several hundred infantry to storm Pryvillyne and Novosilka. According to DeepState, the assault was planned for April 14, but they launched it yesterday—and some general showed up to command it. He opened with an intense artillery barrage on our rear, then, in classic Soviet fashion, sent his vehicles charging straight in. As a result, the entire column was utterly destroyed by pilots of the Bulava unit from the Bohdan Khmelnytsky Presidential Brigade and their comrades from the 31st Brigade ❤️🔥 In total, our warriors destroyed 20 enemy vehicles (three tanks, BMPs, and an MT-LB packed with two hundred infantry) and about twenty motorcycles 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Without your help, repelling this assault would have been extremely difficult. Every one of your donations played a part in this battle. We appeal to you to continue supporting BULAVA—one of the most effective units we work with—so that these guys can keep burning russian 🐽 -

Another Brit starting a fight but ending up on the ground. If you are going to start fights then you should be able to actually fight. They should teach that in our schools. -

JD Vance Optimistic About Prospects for UK-US Trade Deal
JD Vance Optimistic About Prospects for UK-US Trade Deal U.S. Vice President JD Vance has expressed confidence that the United States and the United Kingdom are on track to finalize a significant trade agreement, providing a much-needed boost for British officials eager to strike a deal. In a recent interview with UnHerd, Vance emphasized the strong relationship between the two nations and suggested there is a “good chance” of reaching a “great” agreement that serves both countries' interests. “We’re certainly working very hard with Keir Starmer’s government on a trade deal,” Vance said. “The president really loves the United Kingdom. He loved the queen. He admires and loves the king. It is a very important relationship.” He went on to highlight President Donald Trump’s longstanding personal and business ties to Britain, adding, “He’s a businessman and has a number of important business relationships in [Britain]. But I think it’s much deeper than that. There’s a real cultural affinity. And of course, fundamentally America is an Anglo country.” Vance's remarks come amid renewed UK efforts to secure economic relief from tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. British officials are eager to lift a 25 percent duty on metals and automobiles, along with a 10 percent baseline tariff on all goods imported to the U.S. “With the United Kingdom, we have a much more reciprocal relationship than we have with, say, Germany,” Vance noted. “While we love the Germans, they are heavily dependent on exporting to the United States but are pretty tough on a lot of American businesses that would like to export into Germany.” U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has also weighed in, confirming that the U.K. and Australia are among the nations being prioritized for trade talks. While he acknowledged that Australia's internal politics make it slightly easier to navigate, he made clear that serious discussions are underway with multiple partners. Speaking in Buenos Aires, Bessent told Bloomberg that countries need to bring their “A-game” to negotiations. “It may not be the actual trade document, but we will have and be able to move forward from there,” he said, referencing the possibility of reaching “an agreement in principle” that could lead to tariff carve-outs. He also warned that while tariff reductions are a critical step, non-tariff barriers such as regulations and taxes present longer-term challenges. “Lowering tariffs is one thing, but non-tariff trade barriers like regulations and taxes are more insidious. And it's probably going to take a little longer to exorcise those demons,” Bessent said. For top-tier trading partners, he added, “the president's going to be involved.” Back in the UK, Industry Minister Sarah Jones welcomed the optimistic signals from Washington. Speaking to LBC on Tuesday, she said, “We know we’re in a good position. We are having good conversations. There is a deal there to be done, but as to when that will be done I wouldn’t be able to tell you, but it’s positive that the vice president is positive about our negotiations.” As the Trump administration continues its 90-day pause on some tariffs, both sides appear motivated to move forward. While the path to a formal agreement may still involve complex negotiations, recent statements suggest momentum is building toward a transatlantic trade breakthrough.

Palestinian Columbia Protester Detained by ICE During Citizenship Appointment
Palestinian Columbia Protester Detained by ICE During Citizenship Appointment Palestinian student and activist Mohsen Mahdawi, who had been living in the United States for a decade, was taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents during what was supposed to be the final step in his journey toward American citizenship. The incident occurred Monday at a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office in Burlington, Vermont, and has since sparked outrage among civil rights advocates and lawmakers. According to The Intercept, Mahdawi, who originally came from the West Bank and had obtained a green card during his time in the U.S., was actively involved in pro-Palestinian demonstrations at Columbia University. He had served as a leader of Columbia’s Palestinian student union and was a visible presence at anti-Israel protests on the university’s Morningside Heights campus up until the spring. The arrest, captured on video and circulated on social media, shows Mahdawi handcuffed and being escorted by federal agents into an unmarked vehicle. Speaking to The Intercept, Mahdawi described his detention as a life-threatening consequence. “It’s kind of a death sentence,” he said. “Because my people are being killed unjustly in an indiscriminate way.” His lawyer, Luna Droubi, condemned the arrest as baseless and discriminatory. “He was unlawfully detained today for no reason other than his Palestinian identity,” Droubi said. “He came to this country hoping to be free to speak out about the atrocities he has witnessed, only to be punished for such speech.” Neither the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) nor the State Department responded to media requests for comment. Columbia University, citing Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) obligations, declined to speak on the matter. Mahdawi had reportedly gone into hiding prior to his arrest, fearing he might become a target of the Trump administration’s broader deportation efforts. During that time, he reached out to Columbia University requesting help with shelter, but, according to him, received no response. While in hiding, he received a notice that his citizenship interview had been rescheduled from a later date to an earlier one. Concerned that this might be a trap, Mahdawi still chose to attend — and was arrested upon arrival. Mahdawi also claimed that the FBI had visited him late last year but had taken no formal action at the time. Reflecting on his circumstances, he told The Intercept, “This is the outcome. I will be either living or imprisoned or killed by the apartheid system.” In a December 2023 appearance on 60 Minutes, Mahdawi criticized then-Columbia President Minouche Shafik’s response to the Hamas attack on Israel, arguing it failed to acknowledge Palestinian suffering. “That’s why they’re crushing universities now, it’s not only about Palestine,” he said. Despite everything, Mahdawi expressed belief in the American people: “People ask me why I would want to become a citizen of a country committing genocide. I have faith in the people living in this country. The government is not the people.” His arrest drew sharp criticism from lawmakers, including Vermont’s Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, who issued a joint statement with Senator Peter Welch and Representative Becca Balint. “Mohsen Mahdawi of White River Junction, Vermont was illegally detained by ICE during what was supposed to be the final step in his citizenship process,” Sanders wrote on X. “Mr. Mahdawi, a legal resident of the US, must be afforded due process under the law and immediately released from detention.” Based on a report by NYP 2025-04-16 Related Topic: Democrats Face Backlash for Supporting Arrested Palestinian Activist Mahmoud Khalil -

Opinion Why the White House Must Double Down on DEI in Education
Unmasking the Hydra: Why the White House Must Double Down on DEI in Education As the White House intensifies its campaign against Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in American institutions, it must recognize the evolving nature of the challenge. DEI, a movement that once wore its identity openly, is now adapting and hiding behind euphemisms and bureaucratic reshuffling. If this ideological agenda is to be dismantled, the effort must not only continue—it must become even more forceful. The case of Caltech illustrates just how deeply embedded DEI has become and how adept its proponents are at cloaking their intentions. Lindsey Malcom-Piqueux, the university’s former Chief Diversity Officer, has been given a new title and a convenient promotion. But critics argue that this move is little more than camouflage—designed to preserve the same divisive DEI framework under a different label. “That’s what DEI is, remember. A system of race- and gender-based patronage (or, if you happen to be male, white, Asian or Jewish, discrimination) contrary to everything good and just and right in America,” one commentator warned, characterizing the practice as fundamentally unjust and antithetical to the principles of meritocracy. And Caltech is hardly alone. At Columbia University, former interim president Katrina Armstrong was caught on tape admitting that the school’s supposed compliance with Trump-era DEI restrictions was a charade. “Everything was going to be business as usual,” she said. The revelation came about because, astonishingly, Armstrong and her colleagues failed to disable Zoom’s recording function during their internal discussions. “If that’s not a testament to why DEI hiring policies in the academy are bad, we don’t know what is,” critics quipped, highlighting what they see as incompetence enabled by ideologically driven hiring practices. The trend extends beyond academia. Major corporations like Edward Jones and Costco are allegedly engaging in similar efforts to conceal race- and gender-based programs. Costco, in particular, is facing scrutiny from multiple state attorneys general, with investigations underway into whether its practices may violate anti-discrimination laws. Yet while some organizations are masking their intentions, others are refusing to comply altogether. New York’s State Education Department, for instance, announced it would not enforce the Trump administration’s order on DEI policies in public schools. This blatant defiance underscores the need for a stronger federal response. To critics of DEI, the movement is not just misguided policy—it is a resilient and dangerous ideology. “Otherwise the hydra will just regrow its heads,” they warn. This metaphor reflects the belief that unless every manifestation of DEI is exposed and dismantled, it will persist in new forms, spreading further into education, government, and private enterprise. Supporters of the White House’s position argue that this is a moral imperative as much as a legal one. They believe the only way to restore fairness and protect the values of equality under the law is to confront DEI wherever it appears—especially when it hides behind clever titles and vague language. Without such vigilance, they claim, the system will continue to operate in shadow, undermining institutions and eroding public trust. For those who see DEI as a threat to meritocracy and individual rights, this is no time for compromise. It is a time to strike harder, more decisively, and with full awareness that the enemy is no longer in plain sight. Based on a report by NYP 2025-04-16
