"Ukrainians defend what's theirs. Even those who are with Russia know that Russia is doing evil. Of course, we will not reward Russia for what it has perpetrated. The #Ukrainian people deserve peace. But all partners must understand what a dignified peace is.

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

I agree with this. I urge people to continue to resist. But I no longer know what form that resistance should take. I do not see the clear next step—we have a rogue fascist regime and no one appears to have any idea how to stop it. We must at a minimum be clear-eyed about this. That is my point.
