I'm as heartbroken as you with this stamp of approval for national fascism but too angry to cry. After a lifetime of public service and allegiance to these United States and what it stood for, I am ashamed of my country and fearful for its survival as a representative republic.
Jessica, I wake up every morning with a feeling of doom. For the first moment, I think it must be the remnants of a bad dream, but then I remember what we're dealing with every single day with this toxic regime.
I don't sleep well. But I get in a few hours, and when I wake up, I do a minute of gratitude. I appreciate that I am waking up in a bed, in a house, that I have potable water, electricity, indoor plumbing, there's food to eat, and I live with a husband and dogs that love me. I breathe that in. I understand the privilege I have in having all that. It helps me face the day.
Perhaps that will help you. I don't know. But I truly believe that finding a little peace, taking a deep breath, helps me.
AI is getting good at translating. That is step one.
I keep remembering how the heads of the Russian military were not answering Kremlin calls when a Russian paramilitary group were driving to Moscow to talk to Putin. All hoped Prigozhin was on his way to kill Putin and were willing to stand back and let that happen. One day it will.
The U.S. and Britain used to be very good at screwing around with the Soviet Union. If Russians learn how to use AI to translate, Putin might find controlling the narrative more difficult.
The Silent Coup
There was a massive pro-Ukrainian protest in NYC Monday night. I don't think people will remain silent.
I'm right there with you, Jessica. How long before he starts authorizing military help to putin?
An open question. I don't know.

I am ashamed and fearful, too.

I send you a big hug through the ozone,
Hugging you back. Appreciate all your great work.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
I am right there on the floor with you. I don't know how we are all not out in the streets rioting.

It is time for democracies to infiltrate Russia with its own messages directed at Russians about Putin. . Make him squirm at home.
Wish I knew how to do that
