It was a tremendous honor to be featured on the video podcast “Two Dots” (a reference to the letter of resistance in the Ukrainian alphabet – and on my shirt during the interview). Here is the complete video if you’d like to watch it. Please support Hanna by liking, commenting, and subscribing.

The Sleazy and Slippery Slope of Appeasement

For the first time since the full invasion, the United States voted against a UN resolution condemning Russian aggression against Ukraine. Marco Rubio, the once proud son of Cuban Immigrants and anti-communist hawk, said, “We didn’t feel it was conducive, frankly, to have something out there at the UN that’s antagonistic to either side.”He defended […]

FCC Chair Brendan Carr is a 13-Year-Old-Boy

The Federal Communications Chair, Brendan Carr, is targeting ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, and NPR (notably, Fox, which owns Fox News Channel, is conspicuously absent – Hmmm, I wonder why?).

Celebrating 25 Years – Shakira Interview Throwback Time

THROWBACK—On this day in history, 25 years ago, I was terrified as I left my corporate job to begin my own company after only three years in NYC. I had a little money saved up, but not much, and zero experience, but I had an idea, researched it, and believed in the vision. I’d met […]

Raw Travel’s “My Summer in Ukraine” Film is Streaming Now.

Raw Travel’s “My Summer in Ukraine” documentary film premiered to a standing-room-only crowd in New York City last month, a scant one week after the election. I was amazed and grateful at the response of the crowd, especially Ukrainians, who were visibly moved, some to tears. Rather than trot the film out to film festivals […]

Trump Cuts Out the Middleman to Fascism

I used to think that Trump = Putin and Putin = Hitler, but these days, Trump is cutting out the middleman and quoting directly from Hitler. He’s getting unprecedented help from Putin and the ruzzian bot and disinformation army who are uninhibited with their hybrid war with the west. I’ve never seen so many bots […]

Refugees and Exiles Need “A Place to Call Home”

My pal, Dima, lead singer of the Russian band Tarakany (Cockroach), and his wife have been exiled from their home in Russia since December 2021 due to their anti-war, pro-Ukraine stance. It’s a reminder that while some suffer more than others (and none certainly more than Ukrainians), the breadth and width of suffering is immense […]
