A sobering, clear assessment in @pnas.org of the current US policy of international student exclusion. "The damage would not end with academic careers. A discovery becomes a vaccine, a company, and an industry only when someone commercializes it, and that work runs on the same imported talent."

I'm a left-of-Labor voter, which has often meant voting 1 for the Greens. You'd be right surmising my politics are pretty anti-war too. But failing to aid Ukraine's defence against invasion is loathsome and the purported principle invoked is one that does not meet the moment

What a garbage human being. Let Ukraine be erased, the Ukrainian people be essentially enslaved, murdered and disappeared. Real non-violence from the non-violence guy there. Oh, and that only the UN can authorise force - yep, Russia will definitely vote for that! www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

This is how Russia "strives for peace". In Staria Hnylytsia, Kharkiv region, the Russians killed six people at a vegetable warehouse - two men and four women. At the moment of the attack, they were sorting vegetables. Another glorious victory for the Russian army.

I promised earlier this week I would write about this, and here it is. Russia is again running operations to help Trump. Its Matryoshka bot network, which is attacking several elections across Europe, is now attacking Dems ahead of the midterms. This is only the beginning
