Let's not forget Ukraine.
Greetings from Kyiv,
where the air raid alert has been ongoing for three hours.
Drones.
I’m furious that children have to spend their second day of school in shelters.

Very good that this @standing-together.bsky.social-activist bluntly calls his government what it is: fascist. That kind of government - and those who support its genocidal policies - should be sanctioned and boycotted. But those who bravely resist it should receive all our support.
NOW: Over 100,000 people on the streets of Tel Aviv after a day of disruption! NO to the killing, NO to the abandonment. Right now all of us must act with all our strength against the extremists who want us to despair and to think they can’t be stopped. We won’t back down!
