@npratc Regarding similarities of today's Columbia/Barnard protests to 1968. Don't forget 1995 protests for ethnic studies departments when police were also brought on campus and arrested students occupying Hamilton Hall and Low Library.
What do we know about the Nord Stream leaks and what does it imply?
Information is still coming in and there is a lot we don’t know.
I think this is a pretty big deal, and I am quite concerned. Here is my preliminary assessment.
Morning from Ukraine.
Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. Overnight Zelenskyy said expected Russian offensive in eastern Ukraine had begun.
This coincided with what Russia claimed were 100s of strikes on mil targets.
Zelenskyy said he has observed a change in Russian strategy…
121,000 Ukrainian children have been forcibly removed to Russia, Ukraine’s Ombudswoman says. Now Moscow plans to simplify the procedure for Russians to adopt these children, potentially separating them from their families forever. This calculated cruelty is astounding.
Bellingcat can confirm that three members of the delegation attending the peace talks between Ukraine and Russia on the night of 3 to 4 March 2022 experienced symptoms consistent with poisoning with chemical weapons. One of victims was Russian entrepreneur Roman Abramovich.
@sianheder so ridiculously happy for you! Congratulations to you and your entire crew for an incredible film. Your writing in the @latimes was beautiful. In honor of the talented Heder sisters we read @teerahater Fraidyzoo for bed time. 🥳🥳🎉🎉
Russians against Putin are waving a new flag without the red stripe to symbolize the removal of blood from the flag. This is a trend Putin won't want going viral in Russia.
Mariupol is no more. Kharkiv is so badly damaged it'll need to be rebuilt. Entire towns are destroyed.
How many Ukrainian cities and villages need to be erased from existence before the West will finally do what is needed to help prevent the entire country from the same fate?
Wait, what storm? 🤔 It was a lovely day out there today with mostly sunny skies, and we hoped you enjoyed it! But indeed, dear friends, here she comes 🌀😍 #CAwx
Happening now on the frontline near the eastern city of Avdiivka, Russian forces are using white phosphorus against Ukrainians. 📸 Photos from a Ukrainian lieutenant taken in real-time moments ago as we spoke. He described the situation as “madness.”
🧵1/6 Perhaps Twitter is not the place to pose theories or wonder out loud, but here goes: If the philosophy/ideology guiding Putin and those closest to him is, at it's heart, about destroying Western democracy (@TimothyDSnyder )
4/6 2. The West/US avoids a wider war but looses the messaging battle as restraint and diplomacy becomes tied up in the gendered language of weakness vs. strength (@kristinhoganson) which the American Right (and some on the left) and some newspapers (@NYTimes)
6/6 Either way, Putin et al get what they want. So what is the way to avoid these Sophie's Choice? Is there a way? Rebrand diplomacy and restraint as strength? Tighten the noose around Putin more hoping for a domestic revolution?
5/6 which allows the right to run (and win?) on a message of "American strength" thus electing those in the Republican party who have a cozier relationship to the Kremlin.
