And his willingness to confront gun-crazy Republicans of the House Judiciary Committee. The guns in Parkland, Buffalo, El Paso, didn't come from Mexico. They came from the US, and the shooters were inspired by racist, anti-black, anti-immigrant manifestos that rhyme with GOP talking points. pic.twitter.com/0D4QbHvu1t — David Hogg ☮️ (@davidhogg111) July 20, 2022

Over the next week or two I’ll add in a few lines about the various organizations, their services, note locations (particularly which orgs are outside the US). I intend to keep the info up to date and online indefinitely. If you know of orgs that aren’t included but should be, let me know. Meanwhile, the free states where abortion is still protected are ramping up services as they must now embrace an increased wave … Continue reading →

As it turns out, and as predicted, overrunning a city militarily is very different from holding it in occupation indefinitely. And the citizens clearly do not want the Russians in their city. In Kherson, local people are shoving out Russian occupiers with bare hands.

Here is the full video of Ukraine's women-warriors' address to Russians. I am so proud. pic.twitter.com/EOzS9YlU9W — Nika Melkozerova (@NikaMelkozerova) March 7, 2022 They remind me so much of the YPJ, the Women’s Defense Forces of the Syrian Kurds.

Incredible bravery. Wow, thousands of people in the streets of St. Petersburg chanting "Ukraine is not our enemy" pic.twitter.com/BivhCgNpPw — Read The Dispossessed by Ursula K.
