“And, in this way, genocide will play out while people will mouth the words ‘how sad,’ ‘how could this happen’ and ‘never again’ and then go back to their lives, caring little that the injustices of the world are on their shoulders too.” — Vincent Artman link.medium.com/tThbFnywNIb

Counterpoint: Hinkle's 'online celebrity' is manufactured through Ru bots; he's not a symbol of the 'modern internet', but of Western naivete about Ru's hybrid warfare against us. Grow up The New York Times and stop helping Ru's disinformation narratives.

🇵🇱 Remembrance Day of the Victims of the Katyń Massacre.

Ukrainian Evangelicals write to Speaker Mike Johnson asking for action as they face Russian attacks and persecution.

Russian missile and drone strikes on Ukrainian cities intensify, with casualties every day and Kyiv’s largest power station knocked down last night. Republicans in the House have blocked the supply of military aid, especially air-defense missiles, with which Ukraine could have…

Russia's destruction of one of the largest thermal power plants in Ukraine, just outside of Kyiv, doesn't even feature on the BBC's website; which is still one of the most popular ways for Brits to get news.

Their top story? 'The Indian men traumatised by fighting for Russia'.

My feed right now. This is what Ukraine faces every night.

Watch our PBS NewsHour story describing how Russia routinely invades evangelical churches in Ukraine, nationalizes their property and banishes their pastors. youtu.be/jh0IdyeiAiQ?fe…

Tonight on PBS PBS NewsHour, Russia persecutes evangelical Christians in occupied Ukraine. Thousands of believers have fled or gone underground as Russian forces close churches and saw down crosses.

How many Ukrainian families have stories like this? How many more will there be?

All while we worry about 'global energy markets.'
