    This is the harrowing story of two of the real journalistic heroes of this war, who documented the agony of Mariupol so powerfully, at tremendous risk. If you read one thing today, read this.

    Yesterday wrote that we were seeing the destruction of post-Cold War civil society in Russia. This is in parallel the end of post Cold War institutions that attempted to bring Russia into Europe and open European space for Russian civil society.

    Council of Europe unanimously decided to immediately terminate Russia's membership. Russia's continuing aggression in Ukraine 🇺🇦 shows that it can no longer be a member of this European values-based organisation.

    Essential reading about the collapse and exile of Russia’s post-Cold War civil society. Painstakingly built. Surpassingly brave. Now gone. Izabella estimates 200,000 in exile. (!)

    For I’ve written about the new Russian political emigrants & the complicated reality that is emerging in Russia in response to the war, domestic repressions, & western sanctions & boycotts.

    “…violence driven by anti-Asian bias, yet another incident in a nationwide surge.” One year ago this week, six Asian women were killed in a hate-fueled attack in Atlanta. The violence continues - so we must continue to shine a bright unsparing light on it.

    We did not include the footage in our article. It is sickening. We have reported on too many of these episodes over the past two years. Not many have been captured so graphically on video.
