I don't know who needs to hear this, but thank you for whatever you're doing for your family and community to get through this right now. The way through this mess is a million tiny acts of resistance and love. I know you're doing them, and I appreciate you.

BROWN: Is it a mistake to not include Ukraine in this meeting about ending the war in Ukraine?
