Most of the cruel, racist stereotypes now being propagated about Muslims and immigrants were originally crafted as antisemitic attacks on Jews. The language and sources are in some cases exactly the same. Prejudice against any minority endangers all minorities. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It's not voters fault. It's the fault of a media which deliberately spreads misinformation.

"Ukraine must be saved,helped to defend itself" Mikhail Kasyanov,who served as Russian prime minister from 2000 to 2004,said that Ukraine is not guilty of the war Russia started,so it shouldn't make concessions.He also added that Putin is considered a war criminal in Europe&by European leaders 📹DW

Incredible operation: The Ukrainian Security Service (SSU) attacked a Russian Kilo-class submarine in the Novorossiysk seaport using an underwater drone known as “Sub Sea Baby.” According to the official SSU statement, the submarine sustained critical damage.

This.

Soon, there will be twice as many rejoin than stay out voters in the UK. If Trump continues like this it might be very soon.

I had the pleasure to talk to journalist @zarinazabrisky.bsky.social about "Human Safari" in Kherson and her new awareness project regarding these acts of russian terror against civilians Follow my channel🔽 youtu.be/3BMiL4mTDws?...

Takes a few seconds and this is definitely needed so please do your bit. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

Good morning readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. In the towns near Ukraine's frontline, Russian FPV drones hunt civilians, a new tactic called a "human safari". Yana, who lives in Kherson, regularly sees these drones and the damage they cause.

Another war crime by terrorist Russia. It deliberately killed two unarmed civilians and their dog with a drone strike while they were walking along a road carrying a white flag in the Kharkiv region. There were no military targets or positions anywhere nearby. Why? Just why?

We take no joy criticising a young left-wing UK political figure who has often spoken up for workers' rights and progressive causes. But these barely coherent comments from Zarah Sultana on Ukraine sum up much of what is wrong with her wing of the left www.instagram.com/reel/DQT62ys...

And by the way, Melitopol IS Ukraine. We believe that Yana and other Mariupol citizens will be liberated eventually. For those who chose to live their lives as criminal slaves can’t suppress free people.

The centre of Kherson being hit today with unguided & inaccurate multiple launch rockets designed to saturate an area. In this case the centre of a city full of civilians.

Horrific footage from this morning’s Russian attack on Kherson. Artillery shells exploding in a residential neighborhood.

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory. They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth. But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi. RIP, Jamal. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

Douglas Barrowman to the media: there was a mountain of evidence Douglas Barrowman to the court: he didn’t give evidence.

🕯️Kherson farmer Oleksandr Hordiienko was killed by a russian drone. After the liberation of the right bank of the Kherson Oblast, he cleared hundreds of hectares of mines to revive the land. He shielded workers and harvested under EW, saying he had to “fight for every grain.”

Interesting Channel 4 documentary on whether Trump is a Russian asset. The short answer is: Yes. But good to see a major channel bringing together the evidence. youtu.be/Zb6XxnULWlg?...

prescient (from 3 months ago)

2/ Consequently Ukrainians die, and we will only have to face an emboldened Putin and Xi down the track at much, much greater cost. Shame on us.

This is happening because we - Australia, America, Europe and others, politicians and citizens - do not want to do what needs to be done to stop it. We are unwilling risk our lives or too much treasure to help #Ukraine resist Putin now. 1/2

Former Kherson mayor Volodymyr Mykolaienko, abducted by Russian forces in April 2022, is still held in harsh conditions in Russia. He once gave up his spot in a prisoner swap to save his sick cellmate. His family has had no contact or updates since.

Her name was Olena. A Russian missile killed her today in 🇺🇦 Sumy. One of 34 dead (so far). #StandWithUkraine

Nail. Head. Hit. Arrange in any order...

Spoiler: It is absolutely market manipulation

🤬 Right now, Russia is attacking Kherson: one person has died, there are injured, — OVA 🙏 The city is partially without electricity, trolleybus traffic has been stopped.

These guys inherited one of the most functional state apparatus in the history of the world and they are inhabiting it like a crack house. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Putin issued a new decree today threatening to deport Ukrainians from their own homes in occupied Ukraine if they refuse to accept Russian citizenship. This is part of a Kremlin campaign to erase Ukrainian identity entirely throughout Russian-occupied regions www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrain...

my friend Galina and her medic evac crew had their ambulance attacked, they're currently not able to evacuate wounded please help, that's their jar: send.monobank.ua/jar/3eQDSY45By and in case it doesn't work, paypal: [email protected]

Russia has kidnapped tens of thousands of Ukrainian children. Putin was indicted for this crime. Yale has a unit searching for them. Musk eliminated the funding. inews.co.uk/news/world/m...

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

A not-so-heavily-veiled threat from Musk?

Policymakers are reluctant to say it - and no doubt also reluctant to believe it - but Europe and other democratic allies no longer have a trustworthy security partner in the US. The post-WW2 alliance with the US is gone and what remains of the West needs to move very quickly to secure itself.

Keir Starmer has stepped up and it's been impressive. But what now? He insists that the US under Trump remains a reliable ally. The problem is no-one really believes it any more. And that makes any deal all the harder to achieve, let alone enforce. New from me. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

Reminder for those Americans hating on Ukraine: Ukraine gave up their nuclear warheads in 1994 after signing a deal with America that guaranteed their security. America has fucked Ukraine over twice.

This is classy. I think Starmer has got it wrong on where we should stand relative to Europe and the US but this is one of the first times I've admired him since he became PM.

I’m still processing what we saw in the Oval Office and it’s difficult to put into words how disgusted and ashamed I am. This was a coordinated assault on an ally to benefit a dictator and authoritarian regime. Trump and Vance aren’t just Putin’s puppets, they’re his assets.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

And also out today (!) episode 9 of Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring. Another podcast series, this time on a shoestring with a crowdfunded budget (just another v talented producer) but so of the moment, it's quite unreal. This is a story that's going to run & run podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

And then there's this, out today: ep 4 of Stalked. The top series in the UK. This week we name who we think is Hannah's stalker. The BBC has been pretty incredible. I'm not sure any other UK news org would do this in the face of the pushback we've had podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/4...

Last week, the new owners of the Observer wrote to tell me they would *not* be issuing me with a new contract. 🤷‍♀️ So...I want to say publicly that it was an absolute privilege to speak on behalf of my Observer colleagues during our strike. I don't regret doing so. And I learned so much from it. 1/

Keep doing what you do @bylinetimes.bsky.social. You’ve got them worried

Absolutely @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

Trump is on Putin's side. That's it. That's the story and if you are on Trump and Putin's side then you're on the side of murder, fear, war and autocracy. Find it absolutely staggering that some people who you'd expect so much more of are cheering this nightmare on

Painful lack of imagination from Times. Before Feb 24th -22 analysts competed guessing days until Russia would win but they were all wrong. Now the same race among the unimaginative is about what kind of lousy "peace" Ukraine will have. None of them can imagine a solid Ukrainian victory.
