💔 A European Parliament interpreter could not hold back tears during the speech of 11-year-old Roman Oleksiv from Lviv.
The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Thousands of undocumented immigrant workers helped rebuild New York City in the wake of 9/11.
24 years later, they're at risk of deportation as they still struggle with chronic health issues.
A pathway to citizenship is the least these workers deserve. documentedny.com/2025/09/11/u...

They Helped Rebuild After 9/11. Now They Live in Fear of Deportation.
Nearly 25 years after clearing rubble at ground zero, undocumented workers could gain a pathway to citizenship with a bill from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez being reintroduced today.

The large number of senior European leaders who are accompanying Zelensky to the White House tomorrow is not exactly testimony to their trust in Trump. Quite the contrary. It is one of the most remarkable open acts of distrust of a US president ever.

I’m uncertain if we are over-policed or have overly militarized police in America. But we don’t have to resolve this now. We just have to say that, with an authoritarian administration in power, we should oppose all efforts to give them now more instruments of force and coercion.

How permanent is the harm done byTrump’s savage rampage of destruction?
For the many who have died because of his folly, it is already permanent.
For the rest of us and those still unborn, it will surely long-lasting.
