If they can handcuff a U.S. Senator for asking a question, imagine what they will do to you.

Thoughts and prayers with Putin and his supporters, who are having something of Assad day.

Why has my “for you” become so utterly vile in the last few weeks? Anyone else seeing stuff that wouldn’t be “for them” in a million years?

@BObamamoye @lemayhebert @profdavidhudson @BeBedeGe @celder_m Well-deserved! Can’t wait to welcome you to @iddbirmingham

[S Sebag Montefiore @simonmontefiore]

May I propose this a rule of discourse: the making of solemn parallels between minor, annoying measures, health or otherwise, by well-meaning democratic governments AND the liquidation of the entire Jewish people in Europe by the Nazis aka the Holocaust displays crass insensitivity, bad taste, preposterous self-pity and mountainous, moronic ignorance.
In a time when real history is constantly being distorted and misused, it cheapens it and justifies others to do so.
Please stop doing it

I am very sad indeed to hear about Nic van de Walle’s passing. His work and writing has always inspired me a very great deal, and his contribution to knowledge has been exceptional. His book with Michael Bratton was one of the works that made me want to be an academic.

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

It helps to know history. It gives you a sense of dignity and confidence amidst the propaganda of war and genocide. Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski demonstrates this here at the UN.
