Russian strikes on Kryvyi Rih, Kherson, Sumy, Odesa, Dnipro and many other Ukrainian cities are strikes on civilians. Deliberate strikes at locations where people are gathered. The Geneva Convention defines this as war crimes⤵️

Harvard University’s balance sheet — fortified to withstand surprise blows — is facing an unprecedented test as it faces off with the Trump administration

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

CTE is a real in hockey. Distantly related, Chris Simon is not just a player to our family, but a hero for what he accomplished. It pains us all when we think about what this man endured in his later days. www.nytimes.com/athletic/627... Former NHLer Chris Simon had ‘severe’ CTE when he died

This is exactly why we need to be organized in our defense of the freedom to read. The book banners are organized & we'll funded. But they are also unpopular. Our numbers can beat their money

This week, as the number of confirmed measles cases rose to 483, the CDC buried a report that would’ve stressed the importance of getting vaccinated. The move was “not normal at all,” one agency staff member said.

There is no doubt that the US has moved into position as aggressor “But on Wednesday, after Canadian premiers went to the White House to plead their case, a deputy chief of staff reiterated that annexation is the goal.” time.com/7225251/cana...

Never in recent times has the threat to the women’s movement been so palpable, with both US and Russia leading the way on rolling back on women’s rights. Remember and think of the life you want your daughters or wife or other to lead. www.devex.com/news/scoop-u...
