The investor dude’s apology to the knitting community.
Ecomcrew’s Twitter thread where knitters chime in.

Casey has a family member with a Ukrainian friend who sent this email with ways to help. The descriptions are from Hanja, the friend in Ukraine.

https://uocofusa.org/
This is the seat of my church and has been taking humanitarian aid directly to orphanages, military hospital and the families of the wounded to Ukraine for decades

https://unitedhelpukraine.org/
This is an organization of mostly recent immigrants from Ukraine, professionals who have been sending medical supplies and other humanitarian aid to Ukraine. They along with the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America and other orgs have been organizing rallies in front of the russian embassy and White House

Also, please email this message or something like it:
Thank you for the US support for Ukraine. Please, implement harsher sanctions asap, cut russia off the banking system SWIFT, send more weapons
so that Ukrainian can continue their brave fight against this unprovoked attack by a very dangerous sociopath-madman, close the russian embassies and consulates, throw their “diplomats” and their families out of the US, revoke the VISAs of all the russian students who are attending our universities and encourage our allies to do the same.
