But what else can we do? Make your congresspeople’s ears bleed and their inboxes overflow. Donate every penny you can spare (to Misha’s Angels or anyone else you trust). Come to Ukraine.

This war is it over and it is getting worse.

Ukraine needs us. Ukraine needs you. /15

And the “free world” is not merely letting Ukraine down. It is actively abandoning it. And this is our shame, as the sons and daughters of peace, prosperity, and privilege.

When Ukraine goes dark after the next infrastructure attack the one after that, it wont be due to /8

And I cannot bear it. Their brothers; fathers; mothers; sisters are living in trenches, dying and being maimed so these people can have a quotidian life.

But Ukraine is not a wealthy country, nor is it a military superpower. It needs help from the so-called “free world.” /7

past me, people who wish only to have something resembling the lives that that those of us in and from the privileged West enjoy as a matter of course, I see skeletons, refugees, slaves, and victims of rape. I see the future Russia is trying to bring about for them. /6

Many in the west have no idea what it would look like if Kyiv were occupied or leveled. Many will not care that Ukraine’s second city, Kharkiv, is already facing this.

But as I sit here watching thousands of beautiful, flawed, ordinary, wonderful, innocent people walk /5

reasons to not care. But make no mistake: what is happening in Ukraine is genocide and good people, soldiers and civilians, are dying every day to stave off this fucking horror.

Without help, though, the fight will be harder and more heartbreaking than you can ever imagine. /4

But the world stands by and watches. For what? Out of fear, it seems. Or cowardice. Or, perhaps, for more unsavory reasons (looking at you GOP).

And what will transpire here will be ghastly. It already is. But the attention economy has moved on and people have found other /3

Without air defense (and I include f16s in this) it’s probably only a matter of time before the whole country is plunged into blackout conditions. Kharkiv is already there and is being subjected to almost hourly attacks. /3

I’ve been taking a a Twitter break, partly due to illness, partly to exhaustion, and partly due to other factors.

However, Russia’s escalation-attempting to render Ukraine uninhabitable by destroying electricity infrastructure-has me worried /1

Russia is happy. Ukraine doesn't have enough weapons, the US military aid wasn't coming in for months. It pushes on the frontline and simultaneously destroys Ukrainian energy power plants which 🇺🇦 doesn't have enough air defence to protect. 'As long as it takes' sounds hollow

Wow. What the hell.

Please, if you are an American, we need your help to get this through Congress. Call your representatives, millions of lives depend on it.

its crazy Ukrainians have to beg for aid considering their army fighting biggest war in Europe since WW2.

Ukraine going to be out ammunition because US stopped sending aid while Russia attacks energy systems with full impunity. Genocide is preventable by sending air defense.

If you live in US 🇺🇸please call your representative as shown on this map for Ukraine aid and crucial air defense systems👇

One of the most annoying things about 'slavic studies' as a field is its filled with Russophile (in the classic definition of the word) academics where basically everything gets subsumed into Russian or Soviet narratives and historiography

⚡️ IAEA chief warns of 'major escalation' amid Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant attacks.

The recent attacks on the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant marked a 'major escalation' in nuclear safety danger in Ukraine, International Atomic Energy Agency director Rafael…

Canadians please boost this!

All of this was and is preventable. The Russian strategy now is millions of refugees flooding into Europe as they make Ukraine unlivable and genocide of the remaining population.
The time to act is yesterday. But if it must be today, so be it. Air defense now.

Do you see my tweets?!
