Drone attack in Kyiv. We have had only 52 minutes without an air raid threat since midnight. It’s 3:37 pm here. I took my camera and went to the city centre. Because life should be lived even under such abnormal circumstances.

Nicki Minaj is not a US citizen. She’s a green card holder. Her husband, Kenneth Petty, is a registered sex offender. Her brother, Jelani Maraj, was convicted of repeatedly raping his 11-year-old stepdaughter. So, of course, she’s MAGA.
