In considering the response from #China to Russia’s invasion - it’s worth keeping in mind what Beijing has NOT done. This isn’t a regime that shies away from using economic leverage to obtain foreign policy outcomes. Think:

Protests are erupting in several Russian cities tonight against Putin's large-scale invasion of Ukraine, along with attempts from police to forcibly suppress them. Here's his hometown of St. Petersburg. I'll be threading videos below as I find them.

HongKongers #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦

We are all Ukrainians. An attack against Ukrainians is an attack against us. Since 2014, our Ukrainian friends have been supporting us from Kyiv, and now it’s time for us to show solidarity with 🇺🇦.

Слава Україні! Glory to Ukraine! #нетвойне

No other male skater has pushed the sport of figure skating more than Yuzuru Hanyu. First to break the 100, 200, and 300 point barrier. At 27, he challenges the impossible technically, all while showing beautiful, complete skating.

Junhwan Cha KOR
4T(<<,fall), 4S, 3Lz3Lo, 3A2T, 3A, 3Lz1Eu3S(q?ftdwn), 3F - I have no idea how he got up from that fall and skated the way that he did after; what a warrior - and THE JUNABAUER WAS MAGNIFICENT

What a moment in skating history. You have to give Yuzu credit for what he has done in men's skating- he led the quad charge all the way through, and he's stayed at the top the whole way #winterolympics #figureskating

[yuzuru hanyu media @yuzurumedia]

I’m so grateful you decided to skate despite accomplishing everything because you know how much your skating inspires people.

I watched him complete that program with courage, commitment to the music and faith to tell that story until the very end, and give the ice the gentle smile after. Thank you Yuzuru, for skating, for fighting the battle that only you can fight #FlyYuzu #羽生結弦 #YuzuruHanyu

Dear Twitter, Hanyu is here.

How do you win an election? You jail the entire opposition &--for good measure--change the rules to rig the results. That's what the CCP's done in Hong Kong.

#COP26 has been named the must excluding COP ever.

This is no longer a climate conference.

This is a Global North greenwash festival.

A two week celebration of business as usual and blah blah blah.

[Dr Romy Zyngier @RomulousDeZing]

#cop26 kicks off tomorrow and #australia fails to have a real plan for #netzero by 2050. The science is clear, we know what to do… we just need leaders #bluepacific2glasgow
Demand:
1. A real plan 2. Ambitious 2030 targets 3. Climate finance and justice 4. No new #coal or #gas

[Katarina Atalifo @KatarinaAtalif3]

We must raise awareness of the rights and wellbeing of those who are disproportionately impacted by climate change, and learn from the resilience that First Nations peoples have developed over millennia.
