Word is that Kiev is going to fall tonight to Russian forces. So the national government of Ukraine is no more.
I’ve spent the last 60 hours or so on the phone with the state department, United States senators, United States ambassadors, a member of the national security council, all attempting to get emergency visas or humanitarian paroles for 15 children that I know.
We chartered two buses today for the border, and the fucking soccer moms who run this organization prioritized “adoption eligible“ kids. Because you know kids that have a parent just don’t deserve any consideration in World War III.
I’m so fucking pissed, I’m so fucking pissed, because I think these poor kids are stuck now behind the border. And I predict that Putin is going to engage in mass genocide by cutting off financial aid, food sources, Internet access, cell phone access, etc. And these people are just going to start dropping like flies. They all lived a very meager subsistence style life before this happened. But without strong support networks, and government aid, they are extremely vulnerable.
So this week I’ve had to deal with the divorce, with my uncle’s death, and now with the loss of three foster children. It’s all just not good. I don’t think I slept more than three hours total since Wednesday.
