When veteran Brian Babb felt suicidal, the Eugene Police Department shot and killed him after responding with the SWAT team. After losing a wrongful death lawsuit five months ago, his family is still impacted by the loss. Policing has to change. https://t.co/U9PthEcNlU

@joanna_mann_ This deli called Kornblatts used to have great matzoh ball soup, but they recently closed down ( a big loss for the area). I’d be interested to hear of other places!

To whoever is telling my @UOsojc students to hide that they went to community college on their resumes: This newspaper editor and @LaneTitans instructor would like you to know that I take #communitycollege student applicants more seriously because I know they put the work in.

40 years. Still in print! I’ve been the editor since 2016 and I haven’t broke the paper yet so hoping to continue that streak!

Eugene Weekly traveled to the rugged desert of Eastern Oregon where communities of ranchers continue old traditions in a modern world. https://t.co/wa3XlD22qD

I've spoken to 3 of Ethan Miller's former classmates at Mountainview High School in Bend.

They've uniformly described him as violent, aggressive, and "the person from our class most likely to be a school shooter."

Doesn't seem to be a case with no prior chance to intervene.

Last week a @LaneCountyGov commission candidate would not confirm or deny to @eugeneweekly that he had carried a gun to intimidate Black Lives Matter protesters in summer 2020. Video footage shows him with what appears to be an AR-15 type rifle. https://t.co/d885WY1SKq

⚡️Bucha mayor: Almost 90% of people found dead have ‘bullet wounds, not shrapnel wounds.’

Mayor of Bucha Anatoly Fedoruk told Deutsche Welle that the number of people found dead is growing every day. The mayor said that three mass graves were found in the city.

⚡️Zelensky: "A humanitarian catastrophe are two words that have become fully synonymous with the other two words, the Russian Federation."

[The Kyiv Independent @KyivIndependent]

⚡️Zelensky: "Russia announced that tomorrow it will be bombing our defense industry enterprises. Most of them are located in our cities, with civilians around.

It’s a murder, simply a murder. And I didn’t see any world leader react to it today, any Western politician."

[Oxana Miller @oxanka_smetanka]

I can't believe I have to explain to Americans why someone's sovereign land is their right and privilege to defend. But then again, we live on stolen land and many Americans seem unbothered by that, so never mind.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Tens of thousands of people demonstrated on Sunday in Madrid to demand an end to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. "The world is scandalized" by Russia’s attack, the deputy mayor of Spain’s capital city told the demonstrators. https://t.co/cSdrWRxUvd

We all owe a great debt to the Ukrainians. They are reminding us why democracy matters. They are reminding us that it is worth fighting for. And they are reminding us that in this era of fake news and alternative facts, the truth still matters.

[The Kyiv Independent @KyivIndependent]

⚡️Zelensky posts another video filmed in central Kyiv.

"There's a lot of fake information online that I call on our army to lay down arms, and that there's evacuation," he said.

"I'm here. We won't lay down our arms. We will defend our state."

[NPR @NPR]

JUST IN: A senior U.S. defense official tells NPR the Russian attack on Ukraine is in an "initial phase" — and that it's believed Russian forces are moving to take Kyiv with the "intention of basically decapitating the government and installing another method of governance.”

[Eugene Weekly @eugeneweekly]

The Office of the Secretary of State ruled that Nicholas Kristof doesn’t meet the residency requirement to serve as governor. Whenever someone votes outside of Oregon, they're no longer a resident, Secretary of State Shemia Fagan said. https://t.co/qDvofkZg7H

Rep. Peter DeFazio announced on Dec. 1 that he will not seek re-election for Congress. The congressman will end his career after serving Oregon in Washington D.C. for 36 years. https://t.co/0Sm6VcB6JC
