The higher political and military apparatus is in Kyiv to celebrate, watch the parade, receive awards. They've basically won the war already, right? But then troubling news come from the east:

Ukrainian special forces clearing out basements in liberated Sloviansk.
Before their retreat, Girkin's terrorists set up traps throughout the city. This basement, a former outpost in a residential building, was tripwired to a mortar shell.

Feels like this is the kind of thing that major media outlets might want to report on, though maybe some are eyeing “abandon the idea of a free press” as their self-preservation mechanism
Hi everyone

I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests

I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

- They were waiting for me when I got off the plane
- They knew (or it felt like they knew) everything about me
- I had cleaned up my online presence expecting ad hoc digital sweeps; I was not prepared for their sophistication
- Sophistication almost certainly facilitated by Palantir
