Erdoğan govt last year passed law permitting increased throttling of social media platforms to censor content. See @hrw @article19org report 👉🏼 https://t.co/6KBYPNDoxj Throttling Twitter restricts access to information vital to earthquake relief efforts, a callous abuse of rights

[ClaireBerlinski.substack.com @ClaireBerlinski]

The way the media reports on earthquakes could be a lot more constructive. Reporters don't seem to grasp the most important thing: It isn't the earthquake that kills people, it's the buildings.

[Nick Ashdown @Nick_Ashdown]

This has been just a devastating decade in Turkey. Today's horrors are very much intertwined with the overall political situation, since massive corruption has led to shoddy construction, stolen earthquake funds, minimum preparations for the inevitable, and an economy in tatters.

1/ You’ve seen the fires
You seen the floods
You’ve read the news reports
You’re scared
And now you want to do something about it

But what? And how?

2/. QUESTION: “Why do we hate?”

ANSWER: “We hate because we are taught to hate”

With Myanmar in turmoil since the coup, ethnic armed groups are being drawn back into conflict with the military junta. One ex-fighter said "If all the ethnic armed groups unite, they can win” https://t.co/fx8wfswEyK #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar by @poppymcp @panuw

This is horrifying and it’s only getting worse. Concerted international action needed #myanmar

[The Associated Press @AP]

Soldiers and police have reportedly killed dozens of people in Myanmar as they suppressed protests against last month's coup. One of the deadliest days comes as the military celebrated the annual Armed Forces Day holiday with a parade in the capital. https://t.co/N3OQFhsfWJ

The Myanmar military is shamelessly killing its own citizens, including teenagers. And the world is just watching. Shame on us too. #whatishappeninginmyanmar https://t.co/WA8IfX1A7Q

It’s March 2020 all over again #greekcovidresponse

[Freya Cole @freya_cole]

It’s been the bloodiest day yet in Myanmar. Reuters is reporting at least seven killed in the protests. There are unverified reports of many more. Local people say they don’t want to hear “the world is watching” from the UN and others - they want action.

This gives me goosebumps

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

Thousands and thousands are on a general strike in Myanmar, and they took to the streets against the coup today.

United Nations update: a promise to collect evidence and build criminal case files to hold to account those responsible for serious international crimes or violations of international law. This includes use of lethal force against peaceful protesters #HearTheVoiceOfMyanmar

[State Department Spokesperson 2013-2025 @statedeptspox_a]

We call on Turkey to immediately release Osman Kavala from detention and ensure a just, transparent, and speedy resolution to his case. Specious charges, continued detention, & delays in his trial do further harm to the rule of law and democracy in Turkey. https://t.co/CvL7W3MMiF

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

To show their defiance of the military's coup, Myanmar doctors adopt the Hunger Games salute that Thai pro-democracy protesters have used to challenge their own military (now in civilian clothes) junta. https://t.co/QA0sm9Zxx2

[JUSTICE FOR MYANMAR @SEAnTAE1230]

We as a citizen of Myanmar not agree with the current move and would like to request the world leaders. UN and the world medias help our country- our leaders- our people - from this bitter acts. We want democracy and want our country to develop as our neighbouring countries.

A woman did her regular aerobics class out in open without realizing that a coup was taking place in #Myanmar. A Military convoy reaching the parliament can be seen behind the woman as she performs aerobics. Incredible!
