I do it to inform, to bring back history, to connect the dots, and to speak the plain truth that so many are too afraid to say out loud. Tonight, I will talk about the brutal murder of a young woman from Ukraine — Iryna Zarutska (phonetically: Ear-ree-nah Zah-root-ska).

She came to the United States legally, not as a rule-breaker but as a refugee determined to work and build a life. She was not a protester, not a criminal, not a burden. She was young, ambitious, and hopeful. And yet on an ordinary day in Charlotte, North Carolina, on a public light-rail train, her life was taken in the most vicious and personal way imaginable.The nation has seen the video. There is no dispute about what happened. A large man with dreadlocks moved across the train car. He carried no gun, no bomb, nothing...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/115-XsjkdwCpJ99xv-8oZ76t6jr8ScWEC5MYSKzL0ig/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS82MTUx/OWRiNTc0NTk0Y2Nk/M2VjYTliMGVhN2Zm/YTZkZi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
