Good morning to readers; #Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

[timkmak@journa.host]

We will continue to put people first: narrative journalism that illustrates how ordinary citizens are resisting tyranny.

[timkmak@journa.host]

I will continue to take care of our team, putting our safety and well-being first.

We will not abandon #Ukraine, and we will not stop our reporting, regardless of the official position of the United #States government.

[timkmak@journa.host]

But we have work to do.

The future of #Ukraine ’s sovereignty, of European peace, of America’s role in the world, of #Taiwan ’s existence as a free country — you have a hand in all of the above.

[timkmak@journa.host]

Call and write your representatives.

Protest when your government does something you disagree with.

Dissent when you disagree, strenuously — by voice and by print.

Contribute to causes you believe in.

[timkmak@journa.host]

Use your rights as a free people, the kind that the Putins, Kims and Xis of the world fear most.

[timkmak@journa.host]

I will return to #Kyiv shortly with a suitcase filled with hazardous materials contamination suits and #gas masks. We need more.

And we need more batteries, as it looks like #Ukraine will be plunged into darkness and cold this winter for 18-20 hours a day.

If you agree with our mission, this is the time to subscribe or hit the tip jar.

Help us resist the coming darkness, both literally and figuratively.

[timkmak@journa.host]

It’s not the end. Nothing is inevitable.

What happens next is up to you.

@timkmak What kind/size? Give us an idea of their cost so we can donate appropriately.

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@timkmak Thank you Tim.

[timkmak@journa.host]

@MiriShuli we need several thousand dollars, at least $5k.
