A sign of how debased we are is Trump making Russian energy infrastructure safe from Ukrainian bombs a priority and making Ukrainian civilians safe from Russian bombs no priority at all.

Zelenskyy: "Prices are rising because of the war in the Middle East, the blocking of Hormuz. Everyone understands it. If we want to speak with people fairly, if we want to be clear, if we want to speak with our nations openly, people have to hear reality. Don't play games with people."

Opposed to the death penalty, me. But if I did see capital punishment as appropriate for the worst crimes -- Eichmann in Jerusalem, or Timothy McVeigh or Dylann Roof -- the profundity of the state taking life in reply demands sobriety and a basic distaste for the undertaking. Not a public carnival.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

New Yorkers: Do you have a form of immigration relief called withholding of removal? Have you received an ICE letter summoning you to 26 Federal Plaza? Here’s what  you can do:

1. Call our Immigration Legal Support Hotline at 1-800-354-0365, or call 311 and say "Immigration Legal" for free, confidential help in your native language.

2. Fill out our intake form to get help from the Rapid Response Legal Collaborative: nyc.gov/RRLC

3. Make a plan. Make sure you have an emergency contact and that someone you trust has your A-number. Talk to a lawyer before making any decisions.
