I am thrilled to have received the @jewishbookcouncil.bsky.social in category "Holocaust" for People without History Are Dust. My book was shortlisted alongside books by colleagues whom I respect and whom I have been reading since I was a young student.

Watched `Traces‘ at the Berlin film festival, an exceptionally difficult but also powerful documentary about sexual violence as part of Russian warfare in Ukraine. Directors Kovalenko and Nikitiuk present, as well as the courageous women speaking out in the film. Masterpiece.

⚡️Russian drone strike on civilian car kills 3 energy workers in Donetsk Oblast. Three workers at the Sloviansk Thermal Power Station in Donetsk Oblast were killed, and another was injured on Feb. 17 when a Russian first-person-view (FPV) drone struck their car, the Energy Ministry said.

Russia launched a night missile and drone attack using Tu 95MS bombers and Shahed UAVs. In Dnipro a fire damaged an administrative building and a car. In Odesa infrastructure and civilian sites were damaged and two people were injured. Explosions were reported in Burshtyn and Stryi. #Ukraine

Greatly saddened by learning of the passing of Peter Duncan - a wonderful colleague and friend, and a constant source of inspiration. I remember well joint pickets with Peter in front of @uclssees.bsky.social He will be sorely missed.

📍 According to sources, up to 200 Russian soldiers were encircled before dawn. Over the past year, the total losses of the Russian Federation in this area amount to thousands of people.

vile

The obvious intention of the Trump administration to support the Russian war effort is well known - but this chart is still shocking

disgusting serving their puppet master

A source in President Zelensky’s circle told RBC-Ukraine that there will be no announcement of elections while security is not ensured, commenting on a Financial Times report about planning presidential elections and a referendum. #Ukraine

Always remember. Not defeating Russia is a choice that Europeans and Americans are making. Nothing more, nothing less.

Russia absolutely going full terror on Ukrainian civilians. Russians struck a residential district of Zaporizhzhia, the regional administration reported. The attack sparked a fire, with cars burning at the site. There are reported casualties following the strike. #Ukraine

Polish counterintelligence carried out a major operation and detained a Defense Ministry employee on suspicion of working for Russia, Onet reported. The 60 year old official worked in the defense strategy department and is suspected of ties to Russian and Belarusian intelligence. #Poland

Excellent reporting by @notesfrompoland.bsky.social about the surge of antisemitic, -European, -Ukrainian Polish right winger Grzegorz Braun His movement is ’held together at its core by ... “anti-system” radicalism’, a challenge to Polish electoral arithmetics notesfrompoland.com/2026/02/03/w...

Far-right leader Grzegorz Braun has risen rapidly in the polls on the back of a campaign of anti-Ukrainian and anti-Jewish rhetoric. His surge presents particular questions and challenges for other right-wing opposition parties, writes @aleksszczerbiak.bsky.social.

We are NOT helpless - as OBrien showed in his weekend update, 🇷🇺 is much weaker than Rusamerica would like us to believe. And every donation to the extraordinary Come Back Alive saves real lives from Russia's genocide drones 👏👇 savelife.in.ua/en/

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

Energy Minister Shmyhal said Russia shelled CHP and thermal power plants that were operating only to heat residential areas in Kyiv, Kharkiv and Dnipro. He said the targets were purely civilian, leaving hundreds of thousands of families without heat in minus 25 C cold.

Massive attack on Ukraine tonight.

Kyiv. Morning after a massive russian attack. The district where we live is mostly without heating or electricity. According to the mayor, 1,170 residential high-rise buildings in Kyiv are without heat (we still have a minimal one, but no power). -19 °C outside. This is genocide.

More explosions in Kharkiv ‼️ very loud! Russian missiles keep coming.

Drones are attacking Kyiv. Explosions echo in the severe frost. And I wonder how much heat, electricity, or water will be left by morning. The morning will come, with or without us.

Radio ZET reported that an unidentified drone crashed at a military base in Przasnysz, Poland. The incident happened last Wednesday near an arms depot at a radio electronic center. A military gendarmerie investigation is underway, with suspicions the drone was used for reconnaissance. #Poland
