Oksana and her family are among the countless Ukrainians who were forced to leave their homes to escape the Russian invasion. After fleeing Irpin, they began a chaotic journey looking for safety before arriving in the mountain community of Volovets. Oksana tells NBC News’ Molly Hunter about their difficult ordeal, and its toll on her two young daughters. She says her family felt blessed to spend time in Volovets, saying it was “like you came to your mother’s house.” Volovets is a small community in the Carpathian Mountains – a region that has been a refuge for people fleeing war for centuries. No one really knows how many Ukrainians have arrived seeking safety from the war. Helena Yavorska, a schoolteacher, tells us how the town is doing everything they can to help the newcomers, even putting beds into some of their classrooms.

mountains dont offer much refuge from air strikes or radiation.
Great interview…
Ukraine 🇺🇦 has to take care of themselves, we are not their “keepers,” USA 🇺🇸 had enough refugees in America called the homeless and the jobless. God helps those who help themselves, so they better get busy
Beautiful. So peaceful
Dred Scott v. Sandford
Legal case
In March 1857, the Supreme Court issued a 7–2 decision against Dred Scott.
👉 The Court ruled that people of African descent👉 "are not included, and were not intended to be included, under the word 'citizens' in the Constitution, and can therefore claim none of the rights and privileges which that instrument provides for and secures to citizens of the United States"
Scott was not thereby entitled to his freedom; that 'African Americans' were not and could never be 'citizens' of the United States and could not sue in a federal court..
My question is when did this change because according to the constitution and the *Supreme Court rulings we are not citizens but indeed slaves and we need to overstand this….
When the constitution was written it didn't include us….
So we the people my as, I can't believe they had us recite this bull before class in their systematic racism of supposed be educational system…
I can't speak for no one else, but I'm furious…
😠
Despite the economic downturn,I'm so happy☺️. I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $7,000 investment every 13days
Prayers for the night and in the days and victory for Ukainians and those with them.
Prayers of healing for the families who have lost loved ones and in Russia but I'm with Ukraine.
Prayers always for Ukainians and those with them!
