A short live from my Kyiv balcony on September 5, 2026, with Mavka the war cat, about the letter I sent to Substack. I went through 25 posts from the Books Behind Borders account run by Maddie Hillman, which I say recycle neo-Nazi revisionism, including the claim that World War II was started by 'Jewish Bolsheviks', and a post claiming Ukrainian forces kidnap Ukrainian children.
I explain the three categories of Ukrainian children Russia has taken, and why the source she quoted on organ harvesting in Izyum does not square with what I saw there after liberation in September 2022.
I also lay out exactly how I use Claude, ChatGPT and Grok, from forensic claim lists to red-team review, and ask why Substack is building AI detection tools while paying accounts like this one.
