Murray engaged in early civil disobedience, including bus segregation protests and sit-ins in the 1940s, although she later remained behind the scenes. She co-founded the National Organization for Women in 1966. Eleven years later, she became the first Black woman ordained as an Episcopal priest. /5

The US and Russia announcing a joint peace plan for Ukraine won’t work because the US isn’t fighting, Ukraine is.

Putin has always been ready to accept Ukraine’s surrender.

Trump’s “peace plans” have always been “Ukraine should reward Russia’s aggression.”

And Ukraine’s answer has always been no.
The White House is reportedly close to announcing a major peace deal proposal with Russia that could end the war in Ukraine. A senior official tells POLITICO’s Dasha Burns that a framework could be agreed by all sides by month’s end, possibly even “as soon as this week.”
