I want to tell you a story. In 2015, I was in the small Lithuanian city of Panevežys, standing with the locals, watching a military parade. But this was no ordinary parade, because marching alongside the Lithuanian troops were our American allies.🧵1/17

In March 2022, russia deliberately bombed a drama theater in Mariupol crowded with innocent civilians including many children. @AP evidence pointed to 600 dead in that airstrike. That happened less than three years ago, & genocidal war is still ongoing. But the memory is short.
