‘For Ukrainian civil society, security requires all three dimensions – military capacity to resist, freedom from authoritarian control and preservation of cultural identity – because each addresses a different facet of colonial domination’
Russia's war in Ukraine has prompted groups of self-organised Ukrainian citizens to work together to defend their country.
These groups offer a powerful example of how democratic resilience can emerge from below during wartime.

the entire media ecosystem is just not built or ready for events like this and far right billionaires like larry ellison buying news orgs will only make this worse

There is no 'remembering Srebrenica' without remembering the basic political reality that the West rewarded the perpetrators with almost half of Bosnian territory. The genocide is not resolved, it's not the past. The sheer existence of 'RS' is a continuation of the genocide.
