A carefully planned Russian propaganda operation is underway. Having starved people in Oleshky for months, Russia, with the 'intervention' of Melania, will allow people to leave and pretend Ukraine was at fault. Read @zarinazabrisky.bsky.social www.kyivpost.com/analysis/88041

These courageous testimonies are very much worth knowing about, and also worth keeping in mind (as the author pointed out to me) as we consider what it means to take Russia’s side. "Rape as a weapon of war: The voices of Ukrainians" by Sara Cincurova snyder.substack.com/p/rape-as-a-...

God. Since @carolecadwalla.bsky.social left it, even the @theguardian.com gets it wrong. There weren’t just four meetings between Banks/Leave EU and Kremlin officials during Brexit: the judge in the libel case concluded at least a dozen

No amount of support for Russia can end the war, because Russia is the criminal aggressor. A modicum of support for Ukraine could, however, end the war, by making it impossible for Russia to continue. This should not be a hard choice.
⚡️ "Give us Starlink, open it for us on Russian territory, and we will destroy his ballistic missile launchers," Zelenskyy stressed that stopping Russian ballistic launches would force Vladimir Putin to negotiate, rendering further energy strikes unnecessary.

This is the first of ten video meditations I recorded at night in Kharkiv, a frontline city in northeastern Ukraine. They concern matters that came to mind in the general setting of a long and terrible war. snyder.substack.com/p/cowardice

Driving east from Kyiv to Kharkiv, there was no place to get gas from Poltava eastwards, because all of the stations had been destroyed by distant Russian drone operators. The Russians send drones at the pumps, causing explosions, killing attendants and customers. snyder.substack.com/p/a-meditati...

Good thread on why state bans on the “Patriots” isn’t the solution to the problem; we are. And another good write-up from the anti-fascist frontline, this time Bristol. bsky.app/profile/bela...
It also fails to understand the extent to which the police (both institutionally and as a decent chunk of the individual officers) are fundamentally supportive of the Patriots movement. Please I am begging you all once again to read @adamquarshie.bsky.social's reporting on this from Bristol.

25 years since this thing came out. I’m very fond of it, it’s possibly the most personal thing I’ve made and, if I’m allowed to be proud for a day, I’m rather proud of it. All 8 eps up on Channel 4. #TheArmandoIannucciShows #Ch4 #ABigEgg
The Armando Iannucci Shows Comedy Channel 4 (TalkBack) 30 August - 18 October 2001 Each episode focused on specific themes related to human nature and existentialism, around which Iannucci would weave a series of surreal sketches and monologues.
