When the economic pain of sanctions grows real for ordinary Russian citizens, that is the moment when social media can penetrate the iron curtain and inspire resistance, writes @FletcherSchool professor @TSonenshine.https://trib.al/BhhaFbO 

The timing of Tom Brady’s un-retirement announcement gave the impression that, at 44, Tom Brady is all about Tom Brady — and keeping his identity as the greatest quarterback of all time in the present tense, not the past, writes @Joan_Vennochi.https://trib.al/84VhbXn 

If US-Mexico border officials can process some Ukrainian families fleeing war, they can certainly begin processing all other migrants so they can apply for asylum, writes @marcela_elisa.https://trib.al/t74vVd6 

Editorial: Brent Renaud was in Ukraine to do what journalists do — get the story, tell it well, and bring home the realities of a war being fought far from these American shores. He paid for that commitment to the truth with his life.https://trib.al/ptQhDmK 

Russian President Vladimir Putin understands the influence of social media — and how much it will matter when a Russian occupation of Kyiv runs headlong into public opposition from within Russia and from around the world, writes @TSonenshine.https://trib.al/o0PxuWO 

Editorial: It takes a special kind of courage to enter a war zone where, from the very start, none of the rules have applied. Brent Renaud had that kind of courage.https://trib.al/BhBydIy 

The arrival of Ukrainian refugees at the US-Mexico border raises questions about disparate treatment of other asylum seekers from Haiti and Central America, who have been systematically turned away for months at the same spot, writes @marcela_elisa.https://trib.al/iPFfAJ8

Editorial: The Biden administration — as well as Western allies — should commit to cracking down on international money laundering in the long term.https://trib.al/sjmyB1e 

If @SenTomCotton wishes to make the case that the @GOP’s best bet for growth lies in upholding the Trump template, he is surely free to do so, writes @jeff_jacoby. But to claim that Republicans can do that while wearing the Reagan mantle is delusional.https://trib.al/gNzWQ9j 

Asian Americans’ quest for equity has been, and will continue to be, a generational struggle, writes @TeamTram, @northeastern’s Stephen Chan, and @MACommSeminar’s Leverett Wing.https://trib.al/tbRkVC5
