I know its peaceful & safe over here but anyone can see resistance/opposition only works if we all come together.
So many of you left that other place but thats where the people you are resisting against are!😭
Too many strong voices are missing still & you know who you are—you are missed & needed.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.
Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.
Our duty is to stand up to brutality.
Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Putin’s lifelong dream was to somehow separate the US from NATO. But how to break up a strong alliance that stood for 80 years and continued to expand? There really was only one way to do it, he figured it out a decade ago, and played the long game. Now his guy will do it.
