Underground Railroad relics from Lake County. Tailor tools used to make a suit for Canada-bound runaway Andrew Jackson (the tailor Lorenz Ott also took Jackson to a boat and paid his fare). Fragment of a boulder used to signify the log cabin safehouse of Michael Kuhn

I’m reading warnings about a massive russian attack,
with the goal of a total blackout in Kyiv for several days.
We’ve been advised to charge all devices.
I will. I will… when we have electricity 🙈

Ukrainian intelligence warns:Russia is preparing new massive strikes.
In -20°C
This is not about military objectives,but about breaking people.
They are trying to provoke fear, exhaustion, despair to force submission through cold.
The world should call it what it is: terrorism

Kyiv.
Emergency situation in the energy sector.
Since last night, the curfew has been eased so people can reach the Points of Invincibility (public warming and charging shelters) anytime.
We hold on.
But let’s not forget: we’re made of flesh and blood, just like you.

Virginia takes key step to end an ‘overt and intended effort to block Black people from voting.' This is the second reason I've seen today to be proud of my state.

I see people talk about ICE by calling them the Gestapo, and while its not hard to see the comparison; they really aught to be compared to something homegrown. Because in truth, the closest thing we can compare ICE to is to federal slave catchers. The operation is the same.
