"The best of humanity in the darkest of times. If only all refugees from everywhere around the world could be welcomed that warmly."
See the warm welcome for Ukrainian school kids that moved @mehdirhasan… and will move you, too:

Yes, there *are* some white supremacists mobilizing for Ukraine as foreign fighters.
But “this does not mean that that propaganda coming from Putin about ‘denazification’ [of Ukraine] is in any means true,” says researcher @milleridriss. “This is a minority issue.”

Vladimir Putin's claim that Ukraine needs "denazification" is a bad-faith rationale for his war.
But we *do* need to talk about Ukraine's far-right white supremacist groups, says @mehdirhasan... especially now that NATO nations are moving loads of weaponry into Ukrainian hands.

.@mehdirhasan: "Shouldn't we be taking in more Ukrainian refugees, *and* basically looking again at our entire border refugee border policies?"
@RepJasonCrow: "Yeah. The answer is undoubtedly yes. There's just no other way to talk about this."

If Russia succeeds in conquering Ukraine, where does the country go from there?
@RepJasonCrow says it won’t happen.
“They’re gonna try to conquer and actually occupy a country the size of Texas with over 40M Ukrainians — they can’t do it.”

There sure are a lot of “useful idiots” parroting Russian talking points on American TV.
But, as @mehdirhasan points out, “This is how bad the propaganda is: They can't even keep their ridiculous conspiracy theories consistent.”

“I don’t think the bombs which are landing actually are discriminating between Jews and non-Jews.”
@Refaelkruskal runs a Jewish orphanage for Jewish kids and doesn’t think much of Putin’s claim that he wants the “denazification” of Ukraine.

Imagine the courage it took this Russian TV producer to interrupt a live broadcast with a sign reading “NO WAR.”
Watching that video, @mehdirhasan says, is also a reminder not to blame all Russians for what is happening in Ukraine.

In 1989, the Chechen capital of Grozny was a vibrant city of 400,000.
In 2002, after years of Russian shelling, the U.N. declared Grozny “the most destroyed city on earth.”
@mehdirhasan recalls that tragedy, and asks: Is this the future Putin wants for Ukraine?

With the conflict in Ukraine triggering the largest refugee crisis since World War II, what’s happening to displaced children?
@Refaelkruskal is the CEO of Tivka, a Jewish orphanage in Ukraine, & joins @Mehdirhasan to discuss.

The GOP blames high gas prices on a lack of domestic oil production and “Biden’s war on American energy,” but in tonight’s 60-second rant @MehdiRHasan outlines the facts. Forget “Drill Baby Drill,” tonight it’s “Rant Mehdi Rant.” Start the clock!

With the U.S. government supporting Ukraine’s right to fight back against Russia’s attempted occupation, can this be a moment of clarity and consistency for governments around the world when it comes to the rights of occupied people? @MehdiRHasan and @AymanM discuss. WATCH:

.@SenWarren says "Today would be a great today to cancel student loan debt." She tells @mehdirhasan that "If the president canceled $50,000 in student loan debt, he could cancel the black-white wealth gap, for those with student loan debt, by 27 pts." It'd help tens of millions.

"If we had focused more on renewables at home, starting 15 years ago, Russia wouldn't have the power that it has today," @SenWarren reminds @mehdirhasan. "I don't have a time machine, we can't go backwards," she says, so let's please focus on getting "ourselves off fossil fuels."

"There are limits in a world where we're dealing with an unstable dictator who has nuclear weapons," @SenWarren tells @mehdirhasan. "I am glad that it is Joe Biden sitting in the White House right now."

Some conservatives point to critical race theory and mask mandates as evidence the United States is no longer a free country. @mehdirhasan breaks down the absurdity of that notion – especially as the Kremlin pivots toward totalitarianism and cracks down on the Russian people.
