Here is the poem in full: "What War Is", by Ostap Slyvynsky 🇺🇦 #ukraine
Maybe someday they'll decide to write a textbook, only we won't be invited to contribute because others always know better what war is because others always know better okay but just one chapter give us one chapter you won't find any supplemental material anyway this will be a chapter on silence whoever hasn't been in war doesn't know what silence is but to the contrary, they know that we don't know the way fish don't know about the water that sustains them and the oil that kills them the way a field mouse doesn't know about the dark that hides it from the hawk but it hides the hawk too let us write this chapter i know you're afraid of blood so we'll write it with water the water the wounded man asked for when he could no longer swallow and just looked at it water that seeps through a shelled-out roof water that can replace tears yes -- we'll come to you with water we'll leave no permanent marks on your slogans and values that we've so flagrantly misused that you can't even show them to your children anymore these will be our few pages and only a few will know they aren't empty

Glad to commission this from @peterpomerantsev.bsky.social on his long-term study of the techniques journalists can (and now must) use to counter authoritarian propaganda.

www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202... "I don’t think there is any way to regain that trust [in science] other than have the viruses do the education, and the bacteria do the education, and then people will realize they paid way too high a cost" 🦠 ☠️
I called Paul Offit, a pediatrician and the director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and one of the most outspoken critics of Kennedy’s vaccine views. Offit helped invent a rotavirus vaccine that has mitigated a major cause of early-childhood hospitalization around the world. Kennedy routinely attacks him as a paragon of financial conflict because the owners of the vaccine patent, including his hospital, gave him some of the proceeds from its sale. The accusation relies entirely on circumstantial evidence: Offit’s early rotavirus research was funded by the National Institutes of Health, not private industry; he advocates for vaccination and sells books about the benefits of vaccines, but nothing suggests that he has ever done anything untoward in pursuit of profit. Like many of the people I spoke with for this article, Offit has faced death threats from radicals who believe his vaccine advocacy is deadly. Some have targeted his children. Offit told me that Kennedy is a “liar” and a “terrible human being.” I asked him to explain. “It doesn’t matter what I say,” Offit said. “He thinks the medical journals are in the pocket of the industry, he thinks that the government is in the pocket of the industry, he thinks I’m in the pocket of industry, and he’s wrong.” Offit continued: “If he has data showing he’s right, then fucking publish it. He can’t, because he doesn’t have those data.” I asked Offit if he saw a way to reverse the public’s rising distrust in science. “I don’t think there is any way to regain that trust other than have the viruses do the education, and the bacteria do the education, and then people will realize they paid way too high a cost,” he said.

Members of Congress did not tell US servicemembers to defy orders. They did not specify any orders they believed were illegal. They simply highlighted the context of their concern and reminded them of a long-standing legal principle in US military law. They are on firm legal ground.
