These beautiful photos were scattered on the ground outside the apartment that was struck early this morning in Kyiv, blowing away and getting wet and dirty. We picked them up to save them. Help us find these families so we can return them!

And so the year ends as it started, with more pre-dawn raids and arrests designed to invoke an absolute sense of hopelessness in Hong Kong. The new year has become something not to be celebrated; instead we brace for what comes next:

Most of what we know happening on the ground in Kabul right now is because of @yamphoto and a small handful of other journalists. This is what the job is right now https://t.co/IwxrZDVldl

So much attention has been paid to Derek Chauvin’s lack of humanity toward George Floyd, but I can’t stop thinking about the powerful humanity of all the bystanders who tried to intervene to save his life. This verdict would not have been possible without them.

"There's old sayings in Texas about find all the rope in Texas and get a tall oak tree. You know, we take justice very seriously, & we ought to do that. Round up the bad guys." -- here's Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) glorifying lynchings during hearing on violence against Asian-Americans

I talked to a key contributor to the HK19 Manual, the crowdsourced guide to organising a protest movement.

The aim was to "leave something for someone to pick up where we left off," bc "the longer we can sustain our unity...the better our chances are"
