@SenatorCantwell Like @MikeJohnson said, using frozen assets from Russia to help Ukraine fight this unprovoked war would be “pure poetry.” Thanks for your leadership.

@chukurchuk @M__Verbruggen @ABeardedPanda This has also been published in the new issue of Russian History, with a response by me.

Thanks again to the @ShevchenkoSoc and @globalrhizome for inviting me to be the discussant on the first panel, on the history of forerunners of the society and the tension between science and reaching the masses. Happy 150th! Good to see @steven_seegel talk on his project.

This is a great way to learn Ukrainian. I did this many years ago.

@yermolenko_v gave a great talk @cooperunion event on 2 years since the war on how Ukraine is a nation of “despite” - having a vibrant arts scene despite the war, being strong despite the war. A moving talk. @avalaina @Kristina__Hook @ShevchenkoSoc

[Susan Smith-Peter @SSmithPeter1]

Great example of making the debate local and personal, which can still get through. Ads featuring factory workers who will keep their jobs if Ukraine aid gets passed would be powerful. How to make the politics of Ukraine aid local would be a good question to ask. 4/4

[Susan Smith-Peter @SSmithPeter1]

Is the new isolationism in the US a contraction of the moral sphere of Americans? At the event @cooperunion yesterday, there was talk about how the moral sphere of Ukrainians expanded from the family to the nation, but @yermolenko_v @Kristina__Hook @avalaina @ShevchenkoSoc 1/4

[Susan Smith-Peter @SSmithPeter1]

Maybe the message can still get through. It feels like there’s only a shortish window after an event where Americans will care about somewhere else, but then it closes. I wish it weren’t that way, but it is. The @razomforukraine billboard in Johnson’s home district is a 3/4

[Susan Smith-Peter @SSmithPeter1]

This is a great opportunity to continue the discussion about decolonizing the field. Oleksa is a pleasure to work with. I’d encourage any scholars interested to take part. @irgarner @ksvarnon

@MarcelHVanHerpe There is zero evidence that Mearsheimer is a Russia expert and yet here he is again spreading Putin’s misinformation.

[Susan Smith-Peter @SSmithPeter1]

@ODrachewych Amen. He isn’t a Russia expert. Period.

[Susan Smith-Peter @SSmithPeter1]

@razomforukraine @SpeakerJohnson Great billboard!

[Susan Smith-Peter @SSmithPeter1]

via @NYTOpinion - Navalny told Akunin that participation in the battle of good versus neutrally was the most impactful thing. Now he belongs to the ages. https://t.co/g1H9DFK6fl

[Susan Smith-Peter @SSmithPeter1]

Watching a great talk by @JohnVsetecka at @HURI_Harvard about the legacies of the Holodomor. He did archival research and found a trove of evidence from those who lived through it. Heartbreaking photos from a father who couldn’t get over son’s death. @oonuch @PopovaProf

To do today: 1. Call your representative in Congress to ask them to #PassUkraineAidNow 2. Find 3 people you know and convince them to do the same thing.

Democracy is a participatory sport. Don't lose it. Practice it.
