I’ve given up on heroes. I’m unimpressed by wealth. Or fame. Or possessions. Know what’s seductive? Kindness. Humor. People who read. Ideas. Someone who knows what to do with an idea. Love letters. Things are so crazy and life is very short. Do the things that truly matter.
Marta Kostyuk after reaching Roland Garros semifinals:
"We played historical match today with Elina. We had very difficult night again in Ukraine, especially Kyiv. So many people dead. I want to give this match to Ukrainian people and their resilience. Thank you. Slava Ukraini!
I want to point out Elina and her incredible impact on Ukrainian tennis, on Ukrainians, on me and everyone who is watching. She is an unbelievable fighter and I'm so happy to be through semifinals, but I want to thank her again for this incredible match."
Marta Kostyuk has reached Roland Garros semifinals for the first time in Ukraine’s history. She became first Ukrainian in history to reach women’s semifinal of this clay-court Grand Slam.
.@ossoff: “He’s trying to put his face on the money. He's building a monument to himself . But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he’s gone… because he's a failed president and a national disgrace”
Couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

It’s time to start talking.
California, it’s primary day!
Democracy is under attack across the country but in California, we’re protecting free and fair elections.
Get out there and exercise your freedom — and right — to vote. Drop off your ballot at any ballot box or vote in person today.
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.
