Ok. Deep breath.

I think we may look back on this as the first Great Information War. Except we're already 8 years in.

The first Great Information War began in 2014. The invasion of Ukraine is the latest front. And the idea it doesn't already involve us is fiction, a lie.

It’s so frustrating that Americans are treating this shit like it’s sports. We’ve been involved in some conflict my entire 30 years of being alive and now see other countries’ teenagers have to die for no good reason but this time it’s actually fine I guess. This times different!

Is this really funny? What has the US done to help? Nothing.

It’s not just about this one guy!!! People are DYING!!!! let’s shift the focus from solely celebrating leadership to actually acting like the “world leaders” the US says they are

Russia has nuclear weapons? The biggest military behind the US? They are playing a cat and mouse game. We all want Russia to lose, implode, be losers on the world stage. But if you think “this is it, this is all they’ve got” …. Oh my

Good morning from Ukraine to those waking up on the east coast.

Kyiv is still standing. Western intel predictions varied, and even most optimistic said city would fall within 2-3 days. But the out-matched Ukrainian military is putting up a valiant fight to defend the city

[Martha Michael @_marthamichael]

Why is everyone focusing on the fact that YES this guy is clearly a brave man, but only because the WESTERN WORLD isn’t doing shit to help solve a problem THEY CAUSED

The Ukrainian President telling Biden “I need ammo not a ride” when he was offered an escape out the country is hard as hell.

The media of the United States has the power to make many of you care about certain conflicts while ignoring others, many of which the US plays an active role in creating and sustaining.

people are so fucking dumb

[Clyde Haberman @ClydeHaberman]

After 9/11, a headline in Le Monde was “nous sommes tous Américains” — “We are all Americans.
Today I say “Ми всі українці,” which (if Google Translate has got it right) is “We are all Ukrainians.”

I’m probably gonna die on this boring hill but: we need media literacy to be taught in K-12 and beyond. It needs to be part of how you learn to read and write at this point, how you consume, research, and communicate information. The stakes are too high to wait

Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Russian cities on Thursday to protest President Vladimir Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine. The police detained more than 600 people in Moscow alone, according to a rights group. https://t.co/iaolQ8JiZX

Please read this thread and think about how we pay more taxes to defense than anything else and…..the US isn’t doing anything. Not even throwing out rich Russians who are hiding within the US

[Maria Snegovaya @MSnegovaya]

Some quick notes:
1) US intel leaks prob helped shift the start of RU operation. But infoattacks failed to alter Kremlin's calculus. Kremlin was forced to fake reasons for starting the war, provocations. It didn't work. Eventually RU decided to act w/o any formal pretext AT ALL.

A Michigan mom supported her child being trans. So the state separated them. @strawburriez reports on how the case of Katee Churchill could be just the beginning https://t.co/fYr69THMT2

"There is no purgatory for war criminals. They go straight to hell."

During a heated exchange at the UN Security Council, Ukraine’s ambassador accused Russia of declaring war against his country, which the Russian ambassador denied.
