"Ukraine is fighting for its survival. Drones and missiles hit Ukrainian cities most nights. Many Ukrainians nevertheless want, even now, to have a government that’s accountable to the public. Meanwhile, American and Russian kleptocrats are circling the country, looking for ways to make deals."

It’s almost impossible to watch most of the TV coverage of the big awful bill, which treats it like the usual Congressional horse trading rather than an entire party that is fine with destroying America to please Donald Trump in his pursuit of total power.

Keeping their children (citizen or not) out of school because of the very real fear that ICE will take the undocumented parent when they leave their home is heartbreaking and unsustainable.
