We had our first gathering at the teammolly community space yesterday. It was great! No substitute for being together in person, especially in times like these.
Shoot me a message if you’d like to use the space to support LA fire victims, gather with neighbors or to drop off/pick up donations.

Really glad to see that this program was reinstated. Shows that pressure and scrutiny can have an impact.
The Trump administration quietly reinstated a State Dept program allowing the tracking of Ukrainian children sent to Russia. There was enormous pressure--after the story was first reported in the US by @gregsargent.bsky.social in the @newrepublic.com. See newrepublic.com/article/1927...
Trump Admin Nixed Contract Helping Kidnapped Ukrainian Children
