Please limit comments to 150 words and keep them civil and relevant to the article at hand. Comments are closed after six days. Our primary goal is to create a safe and respectful space where a broad spectrum of voices can be heard. We welcome diverse viewpoints and encourage readers to engage critically with one another’s ideas, but never at the expense of civility. Disagreement is expected—even encouraged—but it must be expressed with care and consideration. Comments that take cheap shots, escalate conflict, or veer into ideological warfare detract from the constructive spirit we aim to cultivate.

Thank you so much. Please everyone look at the charities that are taking donations to help the Ukranians and donate.
Much thanks,

Ida Bae Wells is saying Europe is not a continent.
It’s a continent by convention, not by geography.
Speaking of charities are there any that are recommended? I gave to Nova Ukraine 🇺🇦 but are there others? So much will be needed to help with the displaced families.
You might want to look at Direct Relief,
(www.directrelief.org) on Charity Navigator where it has a four-star rating. You can direct your donation to the Ukraine Crisis
Since the whole travel industry is still trying to ramp up from the pandemic, Airbnb is donating free temporary housing to refugees. They’re taking donations also.
