Time to go to bat again, folks. They're trying to ram the bill through that would allow the Dep't of Treasury to arbitrarily label a nonprofit a terrorist organization and strip it of its 501(c) status.

Can't emphasize enough that no evidence is required to do so.

It is not "the Ukraine war."

It is not "the Russia-Ukraine war."

It is the Russian INVASION of Ukraine.

And NORTH KOREA has now also invaded.

The invasion of a free nation and slaughter of its civilians, started and waged by TWO of our greatest geopolitical foes.
