Thank you Pep Guardiola for using your platform.
Governments killing, displacing and dehumanising millions across the world want to make us think it's normal.
But Guardiola is right.
We can't look away. And we cannot accept it.

According to FOX 9, a Minneapolis federal judge demanded to know why DOJ is missing deadlines & AUSA Julie Le said, "The system sucks, this job sucks" & asked to be held in contempt so she could sleep.
PACER shows she got assigned to defend the govt in 88+ cases since Operation Metro Surge started.

Kyiv is currently -18c, other cities in Ukraine broadly the same.
The power plants which exclusively supply heat to Kyiv, Kharkiv and Dnipro were all hit. In total eight regions were struck in Russia's sickening attack.
In Kyiv around 1,200 tower blocks are again without heat.
