"This war can be brought to an end, but the basic logic remains what it always was: the Ukrainians have to be supported so that Russia no longer aspires to destroy their country. That is the foundation." @timothysnyder.bsky.social
We hear that Putin and Trump (or their emissaries) have been secretly consulting about a settlement to the war. Given the inherent traps of allowing an aggressor to decide the outcome of his war, I try here to give a sense of how negotiations might actually work.

Midst seemingly impossible-to-keep-up-with issues, actions to take, & feeling run over by companies & greed, last night's talk was a refreshing & important reminder that we can make a difference.

There’s still time to call senators. Let me explain. Sorry not sorry about the cat. He’s also really upset about this deal.

To be clear, this deal still needs to go through a debate and amendment process and more 60-vote thresholds to pass the Senate, and then it must pass the House. There's still room for constituent pressure.

I am both elated at wins (over big money & authoritarianism) & crushed by losses (to big real estate & fossil fuel interests) this week, so/but... ONWARD.
Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Climate anxious & seeing results in my birthstate of Georgia, wrote 300+ postcards to voters in my homestate of Virginia, & having experienced the interactivity & enthusiasm of my NYS Assemblymember-now MAYOR @zohran , I'm into the biggest glass of red wine tonight. If only IT were blue! 🎉🇺🇸
