Bucha is not a hoax

Fierce Planet Posted on April 5, 2022 by jnfrApril 5, 2022

Putin is claiming that the bodies we’ve seen in Bucha and elsewhere were planted after the Russian army were driven out of the area. The New York Times used satellite imagery and showed definitively that the murders had to happen during the Russian occupation. That link should get you past the paywall for at least a week or two. Their work is well worth looking at. It’s meticulous. ETA: The Washington Post has a detailed account of the brutality visited on the people of Chernihiv, a city which has been returned to Ukranian control, though there is great concern that … Continue reading →

How can I save my little boy…

From Oppenheimer’s deadly toy? I spent a lot of time in the ’80s working with other peace activists to keep Reagan and Gorbachev from escalating nuclear threats between the U.S. and Russia. There were huge protests like these in Berlin back then. In Berlin, more than 100,000 people protest against Putin's actions and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Activists say that the number of protesters could reach 500,000 people pic.twitter.com/xxbMJrn3Wv — Hromadske Int. (@Hromadske) February 27, 2022 The people want peace. Putin threatens us all.

Support for Ukraine is strong

Around the world, and even inside Russia. Tbilisi tonight. Thank you, Georgia!#StandWithUkriane pic.twitter.com/DCvlrDLj7q — olexander scherba🇺🇦 (@olex_scherba) February 25, 2022 Putin and his oligarch friends don't want you to see these images. Participating in an anti-war march in an authoritarian country is no small thing. It requires enormous courage. These very brave people deserve our respect and gratitude. pic.twitter.com/y8lYmNepds — Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) February 26, 2022 Tonight, cities across #Taiwan 🇹🇼 are lit up with the colours of the Ukrainian flag 🇺🇦.

Take a minute to watch this. It's tempting to view Putin as some world-dominating mastermind. But that's not what's happening here. At all. pic.twitter.com/3fvrkPCI4m — Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) February 17, 2022

How can you run when you know?

Fierce Planet Posted on May 4, 2020 by jnfrMay 5, 2020

I was in high school in Toledo, Ohio, when this happened. 50 years ago today. Tin soldiers and Nixon coming. We’re finally on our own. This summer I hear the drumming, four dead in Ohio. Gotta get down to it, soldiers are cutting us down. Should have been done long ago. What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground? Jerry Casale, founding member of the band Devo, was a student at Kent State during the protests. He has written an essay on the events of that day for Rolling Stone. Hat tip to Amanda Marcotte for … Continue reading →

Here’s a good explanation of Rojava, and why it was unique. Turkish attack on Syria endangers a remarkable democratic experiment by the Kurds …According to Turkish president Recep Erdogan, Turkey’s goal is to create a buffer zone separating Syria’s Kurds from the Turkish border. But his country’s attack will do much more than that. If successful, it will destroy the most full-fledged democracy the Middle East has yet to see…. The Kurds call their autonomous region in Syria “Rojava,” meaning “the land where the sun sets.”… Rojava would be an exceptional society almost anywhere. Rojava’s charter guarantees freedom of expression … Continue reading →
