Debies-Carl notes, there is extensive research suggesting that the people spreading these conspiracy theories are actually “accusing people of things they’re doing themselves, or that they would want to do themselves.” This certainly brings to mind moments in recent history like ongoing investigations into Rep. Matt Gaetz’s alleged sex trafficking of a minor, or decades of allegations of assault and predation of minors made against former, far-right US Senate candidate Roy Moore of Alabama, whom many Republicans stood by despite knowing the man is a pedophile.
Perhaps the GOP should take a hard look in the mirror.

Before the war came to Kharkiv, Pavel Dorogoy specialized in documentary and archival photography, and captured his hometown’s architecture. Today, Pavel mainly works as a volunteer, but he continues to document life in the city during the war. In early March, he started taking photos and videos in the subway stations in one of Kharkiv’s outlying neighborhoods, where thousands of local residents hide during air raids. According to Pavel, a single station can shelter up to 500 people in the evenings — volunteers prepare food (serving children and women first) and, when not taking turns sleeping under piles of blankets, people try to catch a few moments to themselves. Pavel has been living in the subway throughout the war, along with his wife (a station worker) and their two children. With his permission, Meduza shares Pavel Dorogoy’s photos and videos of life in Kharkiv’s underground.
