This was the film on POV on PBS tonight. Ukrainians try to keep a connection with their civilian lives as artists while surviving and fighting a war in Kharkiv. The art is beautiful, fanciful, tragic, heartbreaking and somehow hopeful. Must see and feel.

Frank Church warned us, but Republicans won't listen. As long as they're the dictators, as W said out loud, they fully support it.

Time to pay estimated taxes, but it's harder to do than usual. The Constitution is the contract we have with our government. Under Trump, our government is in breach of contract.

PBS seems already muzzled by Trump, though already defunded. Brooks & Capehart and Washington Week both ignored what he wants ignored.

While Diddly awaits sentencing for the two Mann Act convictions, people rightly outraged about the acquittals should remember this was a federal case. The White House is open for business. A large "donation" will secure a pardon. And sexual predators gotta stick together, too.
