"The morgue in Kharkiv was overflowing.

In the courtyard outside, scores of black & green body bags were stacked along 2 of its walls. On the other side, dozens more victims of Russia’s assault on this eastern city lay exposed to the elements."

“We need body bags,” morgue director Yuriy Nikolaevich explained.

Or at least plastic wrap, he said.

There was nothing left to use to hand the dead back to their families: “There are no coffins left in the city.”

“All American companies must leave Russia. … Leave their market immediately, because it is flooded with our blood … Peace is more important than income.”

"Those who want to stop Russia’s murderous attack against Ukraine should stop investing in or buying the products of these companies.

Koch Industries, whose owners gave to right-wing causes for years, is now financing Putin’s war."

"Are you or your mutual fund invested in Halliburton, Baker Hughes or Schlumberger?

Then you should know that these oil-services companies could deal a huge blow to Putin’s ability to wage war — but they choose profit instead"

"There’s 18-month-old Kirill, whose shrapnel wound to the head proved too much for his little toddler’s body.

There’s 16-year-old Iliya, whose legs were blown up in an explosion during a soccer game ..."

Good question from @MattDallek
washingtonpost.com/outlook/2022/0…
"If Trump were indicted, he would become the first former president to stand criminal trial...

This list is hardly exhaustive and omits the dozen-plus civil lawsuits and civil investigations Trump faces."

"The rule of law, the notion that we are all equal under our criminal justice system, is among the noblest of principles but also the ugliest of myths.

The question of putting Trump on trial ... is a test for a principle of democracy"

"[Trump] may find it all but impossible to find new auditors and tax preparers...

“good luck refinancing your debt when the accountants” — who have just declared a decade of your financials utterly worthless — have “just walked out the door.”"
