For years, I worked on & studied the war in n. Uganda, where the Lord's Resistance Army would steal children and force them into becoming child soldiers. It was cruel, sadistic, & criminal. And so is Russia's theft of Ukrainian boys to fight against Ukraine. It must be investigated and prosecuted.

Canada is already in it with big fires and evacs in the thousands. The country looks poised to have large fires on the landscape from now until the snows come. That means Canadian resources will be overextended and not available to help others. Also, probably leads to smoke drifting into the US.

If you haven't already, buy you masks, air purifiers, and spare filters NOW. I like Coway and Levoit models with HEPA filters, but you can also DIY a Corsi-Rosenthal box. I also buy my Powecom KN95 masks with head straps from Bonafide Masks (they have a 25% sale right now with the code BFM25).

Quick comment on Trump‘s visa action and its effects on US higher education and research: Trump has paused visa interviews and is ‚aggressively revoking‘ visas of Chinese students. The damage to the US is enormous and hard to undo. Why? /1

Yikes. Though worth noting that the Egyptian government are publicly denying this, so it doesn't look like any change is taking place immediately (contrary to how this is being reported by some outlets) www.ekathimerini.com/politics/for...

know it's not a big thing, in the grand scheme of things, but Maha is a pretty common Arabic name, and the name of one of my second cousins, and I just feel bad for all Mahas out there because MAHA just never gets mentioned in a good news scenario these days, does it

I spent five weeks talking to federal workers about knowledge loss and brain drain across the federal government, and its implications, both right now and for decades to come. Their stories are frightening, but I think it's important to know what we're facing: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This thread would be shorter and more to the point if the 3rd way types just said “we’re mostly older white guys and we’d have compromised on civil rights in the 60s too.”

"Why do so many Americans join the Israeli military?" asks this article. It conjures an image of American (Jews), radicalised in youth camps, indoctrinated to support Israel, who immigrate and volunteer to serve in the IDF. Only that's not the case. 1/ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

⭐️ Fun fact: the EU flag was first raised by its institutions on 29 May 1986 - and it has been popping up all over Europe ever since. From buildings to license plates, banknotes to street signs... it's everywhere once you start looking. 👀 So keep an eye out next time you're out and about!

Scotland's government achieves this without the full financial powers available to independent nations. Imagine what we could achieve for Scotland's people if we made the decisions on how our nation's wealth was spent? Delivering #SocialJustice is one reason why I support #ScottishIndependence.
