Continue reading →The city of Kherson, like Mariupol, is near the Black Sea in southern Ukraine. Russia has made a heavy push along the Sea and early on took control of Kherson, at least nominally. As it turns out, and as predicted, overrunning a city militarily is very different from holding it in occupation indefinitely. And the citizens clearly do not want the Russians in their city. In Kherson, local people are shoving out Russian occupiers with bare hands. They are not scared to protest even after many activists were persecuted. “Go home” – they chant. pic.twitter.com/0HRnLIfB0j — Liubov Tsybulska (@TsybulskaLiubov) March … Continue reading →

Mind-blowing and heart-breaking that it has come to this: More than 2,000 dead, and 400,000 trapped without heat, food or clean water. https://t.co/wctRynmDFe pic.twitter.com/N1jRSb9gPB — Matthew Luxmoore (@mjluxmoore) March 14, 2022

is at the very least an attempt at genocide, and may yet become one entirely. 400,000 civilians are surrounded by Russian forces, have little to no food and water left, and are under constant assault by Russian bombs and artillery. The people cannot get supplies and all attempts to open humanitarian corridors out of the city have been crushed by Russian aggression. This article at the Guardian has before/after photo pairs that let you see the destruction around Mariupol. I do not want the US and NATO to go to war with Russia, but something must be done about the … Continue reading →

I am so proud. pic.twitter.com/EOzS9YlU9W — Nika Melkozerova (@NikaMelkozerova) March 7, 2022 They remind me so much of the YPJ, the Women’s Defense Forces of the Syrian Kurds. Even though I am against war and against violence, I believe in the right of self-defense, and I have always admired the Kurdish project of Rojava and the Kurdish attempt to form a cooperative economy centered around the rights of women. As in Ukraine, the Kurds have had to use force of arms to keep nearby armies from killing them. The … Continue reading →
