This is the 2nd of the 10 meditations I recorded not long ago in Kharkiv, Ukraine. They are thoughts that came to mind in a place which has been under constant attack by missiles and drones for more than four years. The topic this time is small acts of courage. snyder.substack.com/p/small-cour...

ICE shot another person today. The terror and lawlessness has to stop. Transparency and accountability is of course needed. Body cam footage must be released, and an independent investigation launched. But the reality is our people are hurting too much for that to be enough. Abolish ICE.

I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court. I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective. Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court. The lesson: When we fight we win.
