Today’s thread isn’t fun. It’s sad. It’s shocking. It’s about Iryna — a Ukrainian refugee killed in cold blood.

She fled Putin’s war to find safety in America. Instead, she was stabbed in the throat on a Charlotte train… by a career criminal who should’ve never been free. Why isn’t the media screaming about this? #JusticeForIryna #Ukraine #CrimeCrisis
