On the execution in Minnesota: Obviously, the individuals involved should be held accountable. But responsibility goes to the top of ICE and CBP, and DHS. Their appropriations come up next week in the senate. Not a cent for DHS without pulling ICE and CBP off the streets, in MN and everywhere else.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment

"I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to
assess the victim.

At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

Greetings from Kyiv.

I’m fine, just needed some me-writing time. No need to worry if I don’t post, but thank you.

I’ve just sent a new Sunday Letter; you’re welcome to read.

Electricity is a bit better today (Kyiv is big, and the situation differs across districts).

Kyiv residents gathered for an outdoor party as russian strikes left them with no energy grid, heating, or water in the dead of winter.

​"We have more electricity at night than during the day. Water comes and goes. We have almost no heating. But we have strength of spirit and a desire to live."

And it's Ukrainian children living in horror and not that fucking russian scum that is whitewashed all the fucking time for no reason at all. They never fucking did anything good at all to be THAT whitewashed.

But again. Nothing new.

But unfortunately Ukrainians are not living in a fucking movie where villain is just misunderstood person with traumatic past. Ukrainians living in fucking reality where they fight fucking monsters who rape children and where more than 100 million other monsters supporting it and cheering.

So when it is Polish air space that needs protection - it is ok to partner with Ukrainians in protecting it. It is not "dragging Poland/NATO into the war", unlike when it is Ukraine that needs protection. Pathetic hipocrisy.

Also, Philip is doing a great job reporting on russians' influence and crimes in Africa, so check his posts too.
