Yes, Ukrainians are tough, smart, and courageous. But they are not rich. The average family earned a tenth as much as the average American family - before the bombing. Pick a cause and donate. Please. It will make a difference.

1/15 "Открытое письмо от 177 Нобелевских лауреатов" (о вторжении России в Украину, полный текст)
2/15 "Нижеподписавшиеся лауреаты Нобелевской премии выражают свою поддержку украинскому народу и свободному, независимому государству Украина перед лицом российской агрессии."
3/15 "Действиями, напоминающими печально известное нападение нацистской Германии на Польшу в 1939 году (с использованием подобных приемов симулированной провокации) и на Советский Союз в 1941 году..."

1/8. Russia has a history of aiming for quick and decisive strikes against Ukraine, failing, then revealing the aims of the operation in media prepared on the assumption of success.
2/8. Such a sequences of events unfolded in 2014 during a Ukrainian presidential election. Russia tried to hack Ukraine's central election commission so that it would present a far-right candidate, who in fact got less than 1% of the vote, as the winner.
3/8. The hack failed, but Russian media had been prepared for its success; and Russian television went on air with falsified results and even digital images that matched what the hack was supposed to produce. (See #RoadToUnfreedom)

1/11. Putin absurdly claims he has to invade Ukraine to protect Russian-speakers. Russian speakers in Ukraine are far more free than Russian speakers in Russia.
2/11. For example, a Russian speaker in Russia who thought of running for president would be imprisoned, as Alexei Navalny has been. A Russian-speaker, meanwhile, can run for president of Ukraine and win.
3/11. Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky in this video speaks in Russian (beginning at 2:00) directly to the citizens of Russia. pravda.com.ua/news/2022/02/2…

A year ago and more, I wanted to explain how Trump’s big lie would shape our politics. Here is what I wrote then. And here we are.
Trump’s July 2020 "Delay the Election" tweet and the big lie: Trump both revived fascist propaganda and exploited a new age of Internet post-truth. He followed a trail blazed by fascists, but added a twist that is his own. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/0…
"It is unusual for a plan for a coup d’état to be broadcast so clearly... By telling us in advance that he intends to stay in power regardless of the vote count, Trump is... making us understand that we are participants in the unravelling of US democracy." commonwealmagazine.org/not-normal-ele…
