"We can react by seeing all of this for what it is, and naming it by name: incipient state terror. We can react by associating ourselves with others who are repressed before we are. Only in solidarity do we affirm law."

Multiple russian drones are attacking Kyiv. The explosions are loud, marking the work of air defenses. Mayor Klychko reports that drone debris hit two residential buildings, setting the upper floors of one on fire. Maybe U.S. negotiators could visit and see firsthand how russia 'wants peace.'

My Facebook is now full of right-wing, racist, conspiracy, Elon-loving, garbage. Any chance we can un-invent the digital world, and go back to reading books over cups of tea while listening the the Third Programme?

Warning thread from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social - excellent read: My thoughts are this: If no-one is coming to save us - what do we need to do?

I wish there were a few more artists from the UK here....and where is the BBC?
