"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

@timothysnyder.bsky.social that being said, thank you for what you have done for educating the world and fundraising for Ukraine, which is arguably more than what a lot of the aforementioned politicians have done.

@timothysnyder.bsky.social While writing those books doesn't obligate you to stay and fight, they—particularly "On Tyranny"—now feel disingenuous. It will be hard not to roll my eyes at any of your future calls for US citizens to engage in activism.

@timothysnyder.bsky.social Moreover, leaving the US is contradictory to the themes in "On Tyranny and "On Freedom." Your departure resembles the actions of many politicians who repeatedly express concern about this admin but do little more, leaving the fight to those without the privilege to flee.

Your decision to leave the US is disappointing. You cited personal reasons, but it's hard to believe it's unrelated to the current state of affairs, especially given what your wife's provided as reasons. Claiming it is only personal echoes the language manipulation seen in the Trump administration.

Agreed. It seems like an opportunity to downplay or deny the Bucha massacre, given the absence of murdered civilians on the streets and the ongoing rebuilding, while ignoring that this is because it’s been three years.

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.

L. @omgbbq.bsky.social · 18/02/2025
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

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.
