if there are concerns for public safety when Herzog is here after 2.5 years of peaceful protests against his genocidal state then maybe Herzog is the problem.

Working in coordination with standwithminnesota.com and with your help, we have now paid rent for four Minneapolis families affected by ICE. Let’s keep it going!
Can we make it happen for a fifth family? Their total need is $2300.

This fundraiser was so successful that I’m doing another one! The extra funds that were set for the first family went towards the second family’s total rent need. Let’s keep it going!
I am now raising rent funds for another Minneapolis family who has been impacted by ICE. For this family, the remaining need is $775.
Can we make this happen for them today? I believe in us & will post receipts!

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.
Despite how difficult this job can be, I am proud to be a foreign correspondent at The Washington Post.
