My dog is grieving her cat brother who died last week. 😭 💔 When I take her for walks I can tell she is looking around seeing if she can “find” 🐈.

Whatever Putin does — from choosing to invade Ukraine in first place, to the near constant attacks ever since — is never escalation or “starting WW3” apparently. It is only escalation and “starting WW3” when Ukraine or its allies fight back. Make it makes sense.

Something I find loathsome & morally repugnant: where valid criticism of Israel & IDF actions morphs into a complete disavowal of Hamas crimes & agency. Many critics of 🇮🇱 undermine their own arguments because of their hypocritical erasure of any Hamas crimes or culpability. 1/6

Praise someone tomorrow, in front of other people, if possible.

Vital brief from the Soufan Center highlighting key themes re: how 🇮🇱🇵🇸 violence is rippling outward.

Social media is a growing tool for not only disinformation, but coordination of violence. Integration & domestic polarisation challenges are exacerbated.

We lost our beautiful cat Bartok today. How they break our hearts when they go.

A few months ago, TED invited me to have a conversation with the Palestinian peace activist Ali Abu Awwad. Sharing it here for the first time. I hope some of it resonates with you.

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.”

A no less vital admonition that deserves attn:

STAND OUT

“...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."

Suggestion for for everyone telling Ukraine to not defend itself because WW3 yada yada:

How about telling Putin to get the hell out of Ukraine. That will prevent WWIII.

Hello there. Experimenting over here; still over there. Follow suggestions welcome. What a world.
