@loyndsview How about not sharing ill-informed stereotypes? This article is a gross representation of the situation in Moldova. How about sharing actual journalism?

@donmoyn And while short men do face discrimination as well, they still enjoy male privilege that tall women do not have.

@donmoyn ... to being told to be "more likable," "know our place," etc. A lot of this is couched as "professional feedback" when quite often it's just internalized sexism because we so visibly do not adhere to prescribed gender norms by our very stature....

@midhunsrisai @cotederek @dreamer_crafter @DmytroKuleba What you’re doing is talking out of your ass. Or are you sitting comfortably in a Russian troll farm?

[Elena Poiata @epoiata]

@midhunsrisai @dreamer_crafter @DmytroKuleba I dunno, man. Pick up a goddamn history book. It is not twitter’s job to fix your ignorance.

[Dmytro Kuleba @DmytroKuleba]

This nonsense about Putin being “provoked” must stop. He does not need anything to “provoke” him in order to commit heinous crimes. I ask international media to stop shifting the blame on the victim of aggression by suggesting that Putin “responds” or is being “provoked” 2/2

[Maxim Mironov @mironov_fm]

Путин начал со взрыва домов и заканчивает свое правление взрывами домов.

Надеюсь, больше ни у кого не остаётся сомнений, что Путин вполне способен взрывать дома с мирными жителями, если ему это выгодно. Он уже это неоднократно доказал.

Also had an urgent call with @EmmanuelMacron. We discussed the strengthening of our air defense, the need for a tough European and international reaction, as well as increased pressure on the Russian Federation. France stands with Ukraine.

The world is reading news all morning about Ukraine being bombed by a member of United Nations Security Council.

[Daria Kaleniuk @dkaleniuk]

1. USA must designate Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism. 2. Germany must provide immediately Leopard 2 tanks. 3. Allies must unblock provision of 4th generation fighter jets to Ukraine. 4. ATACMS for Ukraine now. 5. Modern air defense to protect critical infrastructure

[Oleksiy Sorokin @mrsorokaa]

Kyiv is bombarded nonstop. All over town. The city is hit in multiple areas.

This is very scary.

russians: we are afraid of protesting, regime is cruel, it’s safer to stay silent, we can’t change anything
Iranians: oh, really?!

Chemical weapon used against soldiers and civilians in Mariupol.
Is this the red fucking line yet?

[Elena Poiata @epoiata]

@Dixie202021 @MansRAD Oh, we (Moldova for instance) ARE thinking of Russian aggression, because we have felt it before. It’s nothing new for us. In fact, we know full well that if Odessa falls, we’re next. And after seeing how the western world has been acting, we are pretty fucking worried.

[Anastasiia Lapatina @lapatina_]

Defenders of #Mariupol just said Russia used chemical weapons on them around an hour ago – soldiers are having difficulty breathing and vestibulo-atactic syndrome. Earlier today Russian puppets in occupied Donbas openly called for the use of chemical weapons against them

@Colour69 @andrutL @ScottEllison_ @visegrad24 JUST.STOP.WESTSPLAINING.

[Elena Poiata @epoiata]

@Colour69 @varjag @tonyguk @ScottEllison_ @visegrad24 If you want to know the cost of NOT fighting the Russians you can start by reading. Start with Gulag Archipelago, read about Holodomor, about collectivization, about Stalin’s purges. The Russians already has “purge lists” ready when they invaded. Don’t Westsplain FFS
