To all my supporters and supporters-to-be.
You help me show Ukraine to the world.
You inspire me to keep going, even when I’m exhausted.
You break the ice of indifference I so often see.
Thank you – I needed to say this today.

Greetings from Kyiv,
a city of fantastic bookstores.
Right now, this paradise runs on a generator.
The electricity situation is difficult these days,
but life doesn’t stop.

I will campaign with all my soul for the Democratic presidential or senate candidate whose platform includes “Let’s fuck up these corrupt fucks on the Supreme Court.”
The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s “look at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”
