The New York Times editorial page endorses pressuring Ukraine to cede territory to Russia. Really shameful, guys. nytimes.com/2022/05/19/opi…
This is exactly and precisely wrong.
Also, what @AndreaChalupa said: If you have to say something “is not appeasement,” that’s because it’s appeasement.
Also, one other thing: when a country and a people are facing genocidal invasion from a major power, your job as an editorial page is not to wag your finger at them and tell them there is a limit to the support they can expect. #JustSaying

.@marceelias is now testifying in the trial of Michael Sussman.
I believe the gravamen of this testimony relates to Sussman’s billing records, which suggest that he met with the FBI on the AlphaBank matter as part of his representation of the Hillary Clinton campaign.
That said, the initial discussion is all about Elias’s relationship with Fusion GPS.

I could not be more excited to announce that we now have permission from the good folks at @GoldwynFilms to do an outdoor screening of #MrJones on the wall of a Russian diplomatic property of our choosing and to livestream the event.
A special military operation is now under way to make this happen in a fashion available to the general public in the Washington DC metro area. Date, time, location and details will be forthcoming.
If the Russians try to stop it, it will be just another example of the attempted erasure of Russia's genocidal history in Ukraine--of which the current war is just the latest chapter.
