🇩🇪 In Erfurt, Germany, unknown individuals set fire to Rheinmetall military logistics trucks, causing serious damage.

Footage of the arson was shared by Russian sources—leaving no doubt about who was behind it and who stands to benefit.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

The level of disregard it takes to watch videos with no earphones in public is beyond my comprehension. Some people treat your simply being in their presence as if it’s evidence that you deserve punishment.

When do refugees “integrate” quickly? When host countries cut red tape and barriers to staying and applying for jobs and benefits. No-brainer, yet the exact opposite of policies almost everywhere. The biggest lesson of Ukrainian migration in this war www.ft.com/content/9a20...

It's abundantly clear that Israel owns America. Israel is the largest recipient of U.S. foreign aid, having received about $310 billion in economic and military assistance since its illegal founding, with nearly all current aid directed toward military support and massacre of Palestinians.

This book is riveting and so, so infuriating. It follows 5 families in Atlanta who are struggling to remain housed and paints deeply compassionate portraits of each unit. It reads almost like a novel but is outstanding journalism

I came back to Kyiv.

This weekend, I tried to avoid the news and simply enjoy and document the beauty and heritage of Ukraine.

The world will always be like a swing -
up and down.
We can complain
or we can do something.
