This is genocide.
Ukraine is not far away.Ukraine is Europe, and in the 21st century people in Europe are freezing after Russian attacks.
This needs to be talked about, made widely known. Russia's crimes must be stopped so the horror never happens again.

Rep. Casten has it absolutely correct: Trump is *both* weaker *and* more dangerous than ever.
Buckle up, but don't be afraid. Because fear is how he wins.

Let's be clear. Donald Trump will indict the Fed Chair, kidnap foreign leaders and kill American citizens in MN if it distracts you from asking WTF is in the Epstein files because HIS BASE doesn't like pedophiles. None of this is normal. But everything he does is from weakness right now.

It continues as we speak. What Iran doesn’t want the world to see: IRGC-linked thugs disguised as civilians, riding motorcycles, are roaming places like Ferdows Boulevard in east Tehran, firing live rounds at anyone they suspect of protesting. These are Iran's 'secret crackdown units'.

Trump will do whatever he can to monkey with the midterms, but he can't cancel them. And that's why people need to turn up to vote - in droves.

Russia re-opened Mariupol Drama Theater.
On March 16, 2022, during the siege of Mariupol, Russia launched a strike on the building. Several hundred civilians were using it as a shelter then.
By various estimates, from 300 to 600 people were killed by that Russian strike.
