The Kremlin has decided to publicly blame the west for a forthcoming tax rise to spare Vladimir Putin from criticism that his war economy is starting to hurt ordinary Russians.

🤬🕯️ The suspension of US intelligence activities in Ukraine facilitated the Russian offensive, weakened Ukraine's position and led to the deaths of many Ukrainian soldiers, - Time

❗️AFU in the Kursk region are having difficulty holding captured territories due to the loss of US intelligence.

I’d like to remind you that there was no deal or agreement on that. However, Ukraine did sign a written agreement in which the U.S. provided "security assurances" in exchange for Ukraine giving up its nuclear weapons. We would now like our nuclear weapons back

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · Jan 27

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

😠 Russian forces in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine have intensified their efforts to strip local residents of rights, targeting individuals who have not accepted Russian citizenship.
