I remember a moment in early March 2022, during the Battle of Kyiv. Russians were breaking into Irpin from the northwest, the Bucha-Vorzel side, and the Warsaw Highway.

There was an insane mess - lots of civilians leaving their cars behind and trying to make it across a destroyed bridge leading to Kyiv City with the help of the military.

And lots of pickup trucks with smiling Ukrainian Territorial Defense fighters rushing through the streets of Irpin towards the contact line to reinforce the military deterring the Russian push. Of course, it was loud as fuck, with artillery rounds whistling overheads.

And also reporters -- many walking by themselves toward the kill zone, too. We were seeing each other in the streets of Irpin and waving greetings from a distance or getting together to talk a bit and move on.

Writers, photographers... Ukrainians, foreigners. Some were wearing vests and helmets and some were walking light-handed like myself. You see a person marked PRESS voluntarily and knowingly walking into that hell on earth - and you know that's your brother or sister in dedication.

THAT was the real thing. That was the attitude and the nerve to go and see, to feel it, to learn to memorize, and then tell the world a little bit of how it really is to be at that gate of hell.

And that blind and primitive bothsidism we're seeing these days... it's just about the failure to do the job -- to research, to care, to assume responsibility, and then to tell what you have to report on an issue, being ready to answer for the honesty of one's work.

It's very easy to just state, "this side says this, that side says that, look, we're so awesome and objective." This war is not a fucking soccer game in which both sides are morally equal and play by the same rules.

The world needs journalists not just for blindly reprinting whatever militaristic, propaganda-based dictatorial regimes have to say -- but for finding out the real, right thing to stand for.

A video has surfaced of British soldiers bidding farewell to their Ukrainian colleagues who were going back to the frontlines after training in the UK. Solidarity will overcome all.

@mtgreenee Man that sucks. I was attacked and screamed at in 2018 by an insane woman named Marjorie Taylor Greene. She had no respect for the privacy of me as an 18 year old school shooting survivor or my staff.
She was self righteous, insane, and completely out of control.

Democracy must survive!!!!

This is the base greed and corruption that underlies our horrific destruction of our world. Yes, you may think me melodramatic, but if you read David Wallace-Wells, Elizabeth Kolbert, @emorwee, or any of the other brilliant people writing about this, you’d understand.

If you let any story cut through all the Twitter noise today, please let it be this:

At least six local news websites across Alabama and Florida have been secretly taking payments from power companies to run stories attacking clean energy + other policies
