Happy Birthday, President Zelenskyy.

If you watch only one short video today, make it this one. Remarkable bravery, and the looks on the various faces could be material for a dissertation on gender, the family, and authoritarianism. youtu.be/gVInX42IQD8?...

American Nightmare (Netflix documentary) is a perfect example of the reality of women trying to navigate the justice system following a sexual assault. What has to happen to change it? Accountability for investigators who botch cases. You won't find any of that in this story.
