Summary

The Ukraine war. Yesterday, as Ukraine's counteroffensive appeared to be underway, news broke that  a major dam and hydroelectric power plant in southern Ukraine were severely damaged. The attack on the dam caused flooding near the front lines, with communities downstream of the dam — many currently under Russian control — having to evacuate while Russia continued shelling the region overhead. The Kakhovka dam sits near the southern end of the Dnipro River, which currently separates Ukrainian and Russian forces on the front lines.

Good morning, good afternoon and good evening and welcome to the Tangle podcast, a place we get

0:55.3

views from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking, and a little bit of my take.

1:00.1

I'm your host, Isaac Saul, and on today's episode, we are going to be talking about Ukraine,

quote, representation is important, but I feel like I'm being constantly told,

1:45.9

you must support this and you have to be proud for queer people.

1:49.5

That, combined with the antagonist queer voices I hear on Twitter and Reddit, comparing people
