For the past two months, I’ve woken up every day to check this hellsite (which I had mostly given up) to make sure my Ukrainian friends were still alive. Now I get to check it for that and to see if I still have rights in my own country. Super fun. 🙄

An auto-dependent society puts tremendous pressure on low-income people to own cars. A car can eat up someone’s budget, expose them to predatory lenders who hurt their credit, or worse. And they're getting more expensive. My latest for @voxdotcom https://t.co/r4GFOXGdNa
For 20 years as president of the Council of Foreign Relations, Richard Haass studied the globe looking for threats. Now as he steps down, he believes the greatest threat to world security is not Russia or China or Iran but the US itself. "It's us," he says https://t.co/bhoEdxImOK
