She’s right about what our approach to this election must be.

Yes, this is still happening
Don’t look away.

Self-defense
I continue to believe that Ukraine has an absolute right to self-defense, and to territorial integrity. I hope the NATO states respond as quickly as possible with the necessary weapons.
Without additional weaponry, this war will become an endless bloodbath, spreading misery, suffering, and destruction. Mariupol, Bucha, Kramatorsk – the list will be continued. Nobody will stop Russia except Ukraine with Heavy Weapons. #ArmUkraineNow pic.twitter.com/miSOL5zvuA

A remarkable, important, uplifting day for our nation.
Trostyanets and Borodyanka
The atrocities Russia is perpetrating are not just in Bucha.
From the Guardian:
Nate Mook also works with World Central Kitchen, and they have reached Trostyanets.‘Barbarians’: Russian troops leave grisly mark on town of Trostianets
On a two-day visit to the town, the Guardian found evidence of summary executions, torture and systematic looting during the month of occupation, but it will a take a long time to catalogue all the crimes the Russians committed in places like Trostianets.
I’ve never seen devastation like this. I’m in Trostyanets in Ukraine, which was occupied by Russian troops for 30 days. We @WCKitchen brought food to railway workers cleaning up & met the mayor. There is no food here at all—everything was looted. We start deliveries this week! 🇺🇦 pic.twitter.com/XegCAbMD7A

It’s not clear how many citizens were killed in Trostyanets. The Guardian says it may be over 50, but it will be a while before we know the full toll. That’s probably true in Borodyanka as well, because so many people left the city as the Russians came in. But as you can see in the video below, the city was crushed much as Bucha was.
Footage from Borodyanka, a liberated town in Kyiv Oblast, shows one destroyed building after another.
Prosecutor General earlier said that Borodyanka has the most victims among the liberated cities in Kyiv Oblast but hasn't revealed the numbers.

Bucha is not a hoax
Putin is claiming that the bodies we’ve seen in Bucha and elsewhere were planted after the Russian army were driven out of the area. The New York Times used satellite imagery and showed definitively that the murders had to happen during the Russian occupation.
That link should get you past the paywall for at least a week or two. Their work is well worth looking at. It’s meticulous.
ETA: The Washington Post has a detailed account of the brutality visited on the people of Chernihiv, a city which has been returned to Ukranian control, though there is great concern that the Russian army may return. Hard to read, but important (also a non-paywalled link, at least for a while).
