To all my #Ukraine-supporting friends: For the past couple of weeks, I have been attaching @shanovna_s’s laser essay to every tweet by Russian foreign ministry twitter accounts. See below for an example. The idea is to make sure that Russian propaganda is broken up with something

Serious and compelling. Today, the ministry accounts began blocking me. So far it’s just one, but I am worried that I won’t be able to continue doing this for much longer. So please pick up the torch and start appending Katya’s video to embassy tweets,

and other Foreign Ministry social media postings. It will make sure it gets seen by those most likely to be interested in Russian government messaging.

Thanks to all who participate.

This is russian policy: ships stacked up in the Sea of Marmara trying to go through the Bosporus to get grain out of #Ukraine while food prices worldwide remain high.

Police and Secret Service have sealed off Wisconsin Avenue NW in front of russian embassy again. There seem to be a LOT of police cars. On the other hand the perimeter is narrower than it was during the washing machine episode.

It would be convenient for the russians for a security incident to preclude the vigil that has been planned for more than a month to take place precisely in the space that is now sealed off.

At least the chalked Ukrainian flag is okay! Indeed, it appears to have survived the day admirably!

This is the projection essay we will be presenting this evening onto the russian embassy. The text is by @shanovna_s, whose diary of surviving Bucha moved me deeply and whom I asked what she would want to say to the russian ambassador in Washington.
