Ukraine's Centre for Nat Resistance: Russia is set to deport Ukrainians from the occupied territories to Siberia, presenting it as an “industrial and economic project”.
This is a repeat of Soviet-era schemes designed to deport entire communities, including Crimean Tatars, Ukrainians, and Chechens.

What stood out to me today is there has been a major shift in the media
Russia: the talk is about the war against Europe, to the point where they dismiss the fact that Ukraine exists
US: from NYT to social media, everyone is focused on “corrupt Ukraine and Zelenskyy”, putting victim at fault

That this SCOTUS used it to justify striking affirmative action bc it discriminated against WHITE people and now thinks their might be a colorable argument about the birthright part shows only that they are confused about whether the good team won the Civil War. (2/3)

The judiciary is barely holding up. At this point, it all comes down to people having the will to resist.

Reminders, as public health officials warn of a very bad flu season:
🧵
* Washing hands is not a strategy for a respiratory virus. N95s, ventilation, air filtration -- especially in hospitals.
* We should have been cleaning indoor air with the same effort we put into cleaning drinking water.
