Today is the last day of the 4th year of Russia's war. Day 1461, which is 365 x4, plus one for the leap year. Russia thought we would not see Day 4, western leaders thought 4 weeks was overly ambitious. But Ukraine refused to surrender and each and every day I've documented it:

🇵🇹 Portugal just hit a big milestone in #CleanEnergy⚡. Over 80% of the electricity it made in January came from #renewable sources like #wind and hydro power, one of the highest shares in the 🇪🇺 EU right now 🌬️💧. That shows how much the country is moving toward cleaner power and away from fossil fuels.

it seems Russia decided to commemorate the day they invaded Ukraine full scale with terorrist acts . Explosions in Lviv, Mykolaiv , Dnipro. 1 killed, 32 wounded overall, 8 critical . Then again, russia always had sick sense of.. well, everything

I hate those “no scrolling a zillion hours before bedtime” anxiety relief advices. Believe me, I’d freakin love to not have to check my phone all the time for news and updates within the Georgian resistance community, checking if everyone’s okay and all…

Anyone who believes Farage is a friend of those who work for a living shouldn't be allowed out unaccompanied.

Four years ago today, we went to bed only to wake to the sound of explosions the first many of us had ever heard. We woke up to war. ​Since then, the war has been with us every second. No one is truly safe, no one is okay, and the future remains uncertain. Even when we laugh,

russia is a fаіІеd state where everything good is bad and the opposite🤷‍♀️

Not near my gear, so here’s a spoonbill doing some interpretive dance, taken a few years ago.

Foreigners that joined ZSU, we love you🫶 Foreign volunteers and donators, fellas, we love you too🫶 We love everyone who support Ukraine🌝

meet a fresh batch of Ukrainian Swearings for when you’re really p*ssed: at IOC , at Russia and their war they continue to throw on us, or just because you live in Minnesota, or just because you live right now, really. These are some dark times, and open.substack.com/pub/margogon...

Tomorrow everyone will be asking: when will the Russo-Ukrainian war end? The right question is: what can we do to make the Russian invasion fail?

"...geopolitical developments could see the vote being brought forward to this summer." We know what happened when UK fishermen tried to fish in Icelandic waters. www.dw.com/en/iceland-m...

Activists at the Louvre hung a framed photograph of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who was slumped in the back of a car leaving a police station on the day of his arrest.

I hate this stupid day and the next stupid night and the next stupid week and everything it reminds me about.

⚡️❗️"Three or four are gone": Zelensky hinted at the destruction of towers for "Shaheds" in Belarus "We did everything so that there were no three or four of them. We had to do this because Russia used jet drones, but not only through Belarus," Zelensky said.

The Holodnyorskyi district of Kharkiv was struck by a missile a few minutes ago.

Today it is especially hurting💔 The last peaceful morning: the last civilian flight from Kyiv on the eve of war. A day that forever divided life into 'before' and 'after'.

Russian milblogger Romanov assessed that a number of settlements in the Kramatorsk district are not fully controlled by Russian forces despite reports. He says Ukrainian troops remain in Sofiivka, Toretsk, Myrnohrad and Chasiv Yar, while Novopavlivka and Pavlivka are fully under Ukrainian control.

Do you know how much the typical worker would be making today if their wages had grown as much as CEO pay? This graph holds the shocking answer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lPPsrAMtTI

Listen to this 13 year old who went to her city's council meeting. She had some things she needed to get off her chest

What's your favourite bit of master strategy from the last 4 years?

This will harm so many children in the current system. Using children as pawns up against each other based on perceived severity of need for scarce resources is barbaric. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c9...

The 225th Separate Assault Regiment in Ternuvate, Huliaipole direction. Recently, the settlement was liberated from occupying forces.

"Pro Life" Republicans in Tennessee have introduced a bill to EXECUTE women who have abortions. This is the kind of hypocritical extremist asshole that is calling the shots in government right now.

@tdsb.on.ca IAQ retrofits and education similar to @bostonschools.boston.gov would pay for itself easily in one school year because teachers would be healthier (use fewer sick days).

Reports are now emerging from within the Dilley, Texas ICE Family Concentration Camp, which are referred to as “Blue Butterfly Zones.” These zones are where the camp’s young girls are being kept separated and isolated for unknown reasons.

In Amsterdam, Ukrainian servicemen undergoing rehabilitation in the Netherlands took part in a march carrying banners reading "This is who we protect."

Cookie update. Everything is going well. Working towards getting his vet work done in March so he can be introduced to the other cats in our house. It all depends on the results for his disease testing & his neuter. He's a happy boy right now. Allowing more pets. No purrs yet. Take care friends ❄️💙❄️

On this day in 1928, a Jewish girl, of Polish decent, was born in Metz. On the 31 Jul 1944, she was deported, alone, from Drancy to Auschwitz. Her parents and sister had been deported to the camp in Nov 1942. Her name was Marguerite Gruszka Support @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social

I’ve seen countless photos after russian attacks but this one somehow hurts in a special way . It looks almost like a painting . It could’ve been one, with a name like ‘A boy in blue puff in a crater left by Russian air attack. Kyiv region’

NEW: The Victims Who Fought Back An Oklahoma law was supposed to help reduce the sentences of women who killed their abusers. Why are nearly all of them still in prison? By @pamelacolloff.bsky.social

OTD in 1944 the Chechen & Ingush deportations began. Up to 600,000 people were forcibly deported with around 25% dying. Imagine mass deportations taking place today, the 21st century..

🔥At night, the Russian oil pumping station Druzhba-1 at Kaleikino was attacked. A large 60-meter-diameter oil storage tank is burning. The facility is located about 1,100 km from the front line. The Druzhba-1 station at Kaleikino is a major hub of the Druzhba oil pipeline system.

So obscene.

Progress. I made it thru an Olympics without invading anyone. Else.

Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura is demanding that the United States pass a law requiring that when Congress votes to go to war, a family member of each member of Congress must begin immediate military service.

Educators are caring adults who can establish relationships with children who have experienced trauma, BUT… teachers are not therapists. Schools can be a safe place, BUT… schools are not treatment centres. We need to stop pretending that classrooms can replace real mental health support.

I missed the bluesky vs X discourse but as always you can start everyone one of these debates with a simple question!!!!! - Does social media website come packaged with a software system designed to freely generate child abuse materials on request 🔳 Yes 🔳 No

The Kalikino pump station in Tatarstan, currently Russia, was severely hit last night and has been burning ever since. The pump station is a critical node of Russia‘s oil pipeline grid.

That's a wrap on another Olympics! Women athletes owned these Games: Alysa Liu, Breezy Johnson, Hilary Knight to name a few! And there's one woman, from 100 years ago, who is the real reason women are here. She was written out of history and buried in an unmarked grave. This is a 🧵 about her!

I know, naive, but I honestly thought Democrats would fight back. Starting with ANY investigation of election results, voting down every nominee. Forcing a shutdown. Not caving during a shutdown. Shouting every day as a rebuttal to insane press conferences. But. Nope.

Thank you to Greenland for providing emergency medical care to a US sailor on board the submarine, since we did not have adequate resources in the area to treat him. I’m sorry that our president felt the need to cover up our shortcomings with a deranged ghost hospital ship post.

In some encouraging news from the federal government for a change, the wood stork was removed from the endangered species list. They aren't the prettiest bird but they are beautiful. It's a great comeback and a testament to effective conservation policy […] [Original post on sciences.social]
