"There was just a huge pit, it was awful. There were rotten bodies, arms sticking out of the dirt, legs sticking out of the dirt. It was very surreal." Photojournalist Christopher Occhicone recounts his experience in Irpin 1 day after the city was liberated in 2022.

He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

you can read the US constitution to allow a president to serve 3 terms but if you so at least admit that you are no longer doing constitutionalism

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.

Strong-arming US politicians worried about their futures or the soft political elites of other Western countries is one thing. Trying it with Ukrainians who've individually and collectively lived through both the war and Ukraine in the 1990s is, I suspect, something else.

The Lavrov-Rubio meeting is the contemporary Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact: two regimes with expansionist ambitions and a blatant disregard for sovereignty colluding to redefine spheres of influence and redraw borders. With one already a pawn, history shows us how this ends.

The current US administration does not see the EU as it once did—culturally it sees itself aligned with the movements within Europe that are interested in destruction. And this raises the very concerning question—what now are the US interests in Europe?🧵4/17

Mitch McConnell voting no on terrible cabinet picks because he doesn’t have to run for reelection is all the proof you need that we must have term limits. You shouldn’t only have a spine because you don’t have to run again. We are breeding chicken shit power hungry electeds.

Top comment on the recent NYT story on DOGE’s young aides www.nytimes.com/shared/comme...
Goran
World - yesterday

As someone who grew up under an authoritarian regime, I can offer one crucial piece of advice: time is everything. If you don’t stand up now—if you don’t protest, resist, disrupt, and refuse to comply—you may lose your country forever. Authoritarianism thrives on silence, hesitation, and fear. The longer people wait, the more entrenched the regime becomes, making resistance exponentially harder. Every moment of inaction is a moment the regime uses to tighten its grip. History has shown that those who act early have the best chance of reclaiming their freedom. The time to fight back is now.

Just in case you thought that removing DEI criteria would mean that everyone is competing equally: NIH is removing grad students from underrepresented backgrounds from the applicant pool altogether. Their applications will not be considered. Other students, not from these backgrounds, will be.
Update: They were removed from our reviewer assignments completely. I'm so sorry to all those graduate students. 

Anonymous to protect the identity of the NIH employee I spoke to...I am on study section next month to discuss F awards. We were just instructed to put the F31-Diversity applications on the bottom of our priority list for review because there is a chance we may not be able to review them. My heart is breaking for the grad students and their mentors that put so much work into these just for them to be disqualified and thrown out.

He describes it as a tragedy, but never as a crime with a perpetrator (Russia) and a victim (Ukraine). For a man who likes to ascribe blame - often entirely wrongly - this coyness is notable. It all points, yet again, towards the likelihood of a "deal" that favours Russia.

I think we are all searching in vain for evidence that Donald Trump or Elon Musk are serving America rather than other interests. Their anger at USAID sounds like ventriloquism from Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. It makes no sense whatsoever to anyone who actually loves this country and its values.

When Musk denies that he did a big ol Nazi salute during the inauguration, remember this, from Jean-Paul Sartre, 1944.
Never believe that anti-
Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will
