Friday. Kyiv is going to fall, not a matter of if but when. The Russian onslaught is fierce, showing the world what modern war is. As if the pictures of bombed out Chechnya or Syria — or Afghanistan, Iraq Libya, and Yemen weren’t enough. Saturday....

- Recently, I’ve heard some white folks, who are ostensibly Democrats, say they are thinking about not voting for Joe Biden in the upcoming election. This is addressed to them. Seems like they have dis-remembered what happened in the not-so-long-ago past...1529 comments 847 Recs
