We had one hour of electricity and were told we’ll get about 1.5-2 hours a day (yes, out of 24 hours).
The boiler heated water,
I washed my hair,
charged the EcoFlow (not fully).
That’s all.
These are the consequences of russian attacks.

and a warcoffee after the workout.
The repairman fixed the windows, and I hope the little warmth we still have will now stay inside the flat.
1,126 high-rise buildings on the left bank of Kyiv (where I live) remain without heating after the latest russian attack.

Winter’s survival mode drains a lot of energy.
Voltage drops and constant power cuts wear out the meter. I have to choose what to charge in the rare hours of electricity.
Finally found someone to fix the windows, the drafts make the flat even colder.
Spring, we need you.

I don't often wear political t-shirts, but I'm proudly sporting this one today.
I'm an immigrant.
I teach American (and international!) college students, research the U.S. economy, consult with policymakers, write books, raise my kids, pay taxes, and try to make this a better place.

I know some of you care, so I came here to say hi.
Nothing new: low heating, power outages.
At least cold water is stable (hot water appears only when we have electricity).
-8 °C and snow outside. Tropical vibes 😂

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.

Yes, it’s astonishing that Kristi Noem still has her job after the deaths, lies, and failures on her watch.
But the American people have the final say when it comes to holding this entire administration - from the president on down - accountable for its cruelty and corruption.

Emergency situation in the energy sector.
Since last night, the curfew has been eased so people can reach the Points of Invincibility (public warming and charging shelters) anytime.
We hold on.
But let’s not forget: we’re made of flesh and blood, just like you.

"Iron laws of the world"? Some of America's most important national accomplishments are about leading humanity away from this kind of bullshit.
If we let ideologues like Stephen Miller drag us back into a world where brute force is all that matters, all of us will be less safe.

What kind of demonic ritual do russians have on Fridays?
They usually choose this night for attacks.
