I was there. When Peter Gelb stepped out in front of the curtain, my heart sank. I thought he was going to announce that one of the leads was ill and wouldn't be singing.
But no
He spoke in support of Ukraine in the wake of Trump's diesel deal with Putin, the disruptions in Starkink service and intelligence sharing, and the most recent Russian attacks that had killed so many Ukrainians the night before.
I have never been prouder of my favorite opera company.

This is apparently happening in multiple areas in the capital. The DC board of elections has been made aware of it and have been in touch with the National Guard to address it. It’s no accident.

NEWS: Eight major U.S. allies—including Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan—have issued a joint rebuke of the Trump regime’s sweeping sanctions on the International Criminal Court. They vow “unwavering support” for the ICC’s independence.
A vertical graphic on a white background displays an October 9, 2026, joint statement from the foreign ministers of Canada, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. The full statement, presented in black serif text, reaffirms unwavering support for the International Criminal Court (ICC), strongly opposes U.S. sanctions against the Court, warns of their impact on its work, staff, and families, and pledges continued support for international justice, accountability, and the rules-based international system.Marco Rubio, mouth agape, as he announces sweeping sanctions on the ICC to try to punish them for acknowledging Bibi Netanyahu’s war crimes

Just like Isis, just like Russia publicly executing Ukrainians, and just like Germany, Hitler and Nazis. We do not do public executions in the US. Never came up until Trump took off. Despicable and must be stopped.

Ukraine struck the Volodarskaya LPDS oil products hub in Moscow region with drones, triggering a fire. The Transneft facility has 250,000 m³ of storage and is connected to fuel supply infrastructure serving Moscow’s Vnukovo, Domodedovo and Sheremetyevo airports. #Russia

A shopping mall in Dnipro was left completely destroyed after a Russian strike today. At least 3 people were injured in the attack. ​Russia continues its terrorism every day with strikes on public transport, shops and malls, apartment buildings, and gas stations.

This is the man with red bandana at the twin towers. If you have young people who don’t know about 9/11, this might be the best way to explain everyone could do something even the smallest thing to help others. Then and now.

Repetition of Nazi imagery normalizes the regime’s horrors to make its views acceptable in political debate. These aren’t jokes. They are weapons.
