Meanwhile, Trump's business partners courageously keep going to Moscow.
More than 70 heads and representatives of foreign diplomatic missions visited the sites of recent Russian strikes on Kyiv. All of these courageous diplomats, heads, and journalists continue working in Kyiv under constant strikes for the sake of peace in our country. We thank Ukraine’s friends for their support and for standing with us.

Talking about ending a civilization is a threat of genocide.
Some thoughts about the President of the United States speaking about ending a civilization. The president speaks genocide. Anyone who has been involved in that conversation or associated actions would be complicit. And so we too must speak. Not only about crimes, but about their legal punishment.

Stay classy, academia…
I was flattered and honored to be invited, two years ago, to deliver the 2027 Lawrence Stone Lectures at Princeton University; I was saddened and mystified to learn that Princeton has disinvited me. #princeton

One of the joys of my (endless, understaffed, and underfunded) job are days like this, when you get the first copy of the full print run of a new book. This is a brilliant collection of poems by Iya #Kiva, a #Ukrainian poet of #Jewish origin from #Donetsk, from various periods, translated by the incomparable duo of Amelia Mukamel Glaser (who also wrote an introduction) and Yuliya Ilchuk, and edited by Grace Mahoney. Cover design is by Anya Styopina and book design is by Andrii Kravchuk—thank you for all the work and patience that went into creating this book as such a striking physical object! Sign up here to get notified when this book is released: books.huri.harvard.edu/books… Thank you to all the benefactors who helped us make this book a reality. Please consider donating toward translating, editing, and publishing Ukrainian books—they are truly worth it. #HURIbooks #UkrainianCulture #UkrainianLiterature

This tweet is how the president of the US marked Juneteenth this year -- the anniversary of emancipation in the US. (Same president who just spent tens of millions of $ on his birthday parade.)
Hey @realDonaldTrump exactly which holiday do you have in mind? Hmmm?

Please read and share.
🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

MAGA, you were awfully quiet yesterday. Took you all night to figure out how to spin what we all saw—Felon47’s sad little birthday rally while the rest of America was doing the most patriotic thing: protesting. The world sees your weakness now. Good luck covering that up.

Zelensky: Trump criticizes me? If it brings us closer to ending the war, I’ll take it all in stride. He’s chosen his strategy. I’m not here to judge. 1/

In his Easter message, @ZelenskyyUa raises an existential question that many Ukrainians have had for years: “how can we not lose faith after everything we're going through?” The answer is hope — something strong inside you that keeps you from giving up

Lavrov: Ukraine is a Nazi project backed by Europe to fight Russia. Moscow will “denazify” Kyiv and build a new world order - with China, India, Iran, and North Korea. Russia says it’s fighting fascism. But glorifies North Korea. And partners with Iran. 0/
